This week's recap of Genesis chapters 1-21 went longer than we expected when we "geeked out" a bit. If you'd like to hear more about the authorship of the Bible, covenants, and recap some funny things we noticed while we read, this bonus episode is for you!

We mentioned a couple of books in this bonus episode:

The Bible with Sources Revealed by Richard Elliott Friedman and The Consuming Fire, Hebrew Edition: The Complete Priestly Source, from Creation to the Promised Land by Liane M. Feldman.

Welcome to Cross Connections, finding our connection

Merry Christmas! In today's episode we'll get to know your hosts a bit better including how they came to the Episcopal Church, and what background is informing their presence. We also discuss our favorite Bible stories and wonder what we might get rid of if we could - a question we might have to revisit at the end of the year. It's all some light-hearted fun as we look forward to beginning the reading challenge next week.

Welcome to Cross Connections, season two, Cover to Cover as we read the whole Bible in a year along with you, from Genesis to Revelation, and discuss the content each week.

We haven't started reading yet - we'll start on January 1, 2025 - so until then, we’re talking about what Bible to read.

Your hosts, from St. David’s Episcopal Church (Radnor), in Wayne, PA are the Rev. Rick Morley, Elliot VanHoy, and Natalee Hill. Join us as we discover how these stories connect us to God, to our inner selves, and to one another, in a world that tries so hard to disconnect us.

You can download our list of Bible versions you might like to explore, and if you'd prefer an app to a physical book, we suggest The Bible App.

Happy Easter and thank you for listening to Cross Connections, finding our connection points and the turns in our lives and faith journeys together.  

Today is Easter Day; The Feast of The Resurrection of Our Lord. The day’s reflection is based on the following readings:  

Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24 

Acts 10:34-43 or Jeremiah 31:1-6 

Colossians 3:1-4 or Acts 10:34-43 

John 20:1-18 or Matthew 28:1-10 

Today’s reflection was written and read by The Rev. W. Frank Allen. The Rev. W. Frank Allen has been Rector of St. David’s since 1997. Frank is a prayerful leader here and in the Episcopal Church, serving on Diocesan and national boards, and mentoring clergy in their ministry. He has taught a wide variety of courses on the Christian life and is particularly interested in connecting persons to God and to ministry through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He is married to Dr. Amy Allen and they have three grown sons.
