Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community

Preaching Proper 18 (B)


Listen Later

In this episode of Prophetic Voices, we’ll be discussing the lectionary for Proper 18 (B), which takes place this year on Sunday, September 8. We discuss Mark 7:24-37 and James 2:1-10 [11-13], 14-17. Our amazing guests this week are:

  • The Rev. Melanie Mullen, The Episcopal Church’s director of reconciliation, justice, and creation care. She works to bring the Jesus Movement to the concerns of the world. Prior to joining the presiding bishop’s staff, she was the downtown missioner at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Richmond, leading a historic southern congregation’s missional, civic, and reconciliation ministries.
  • The Rev. Dr. Michelle Dayton, the superintending presbyter of the nine churches on the Pine Ridge Reservation serving the Oglala Lakota Oyate. She lives in South Dakota, and is a daughter, wife, and mother of two amazing humans. Michelle loves to listen to the stories of God's beloveds, is passionate about being a story keeper, and is a spiritual director. She is learning to bead and planted her second vegetable garden this year!
  • The Rev. Dr. Erin Kirby, rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Marion, N.C., and the mom of an amazing adult daughter. She is a member of the Diocese of Western North Carolina's Beloved Community and Racial Reconciliation team. Having grown up in the mountains of Western North Carolina, she moved back “as close to the land of her heart as she could get” during COVID. In her free time, she and her dog Buttercup enjoy a good long hike or just a day splashing around a mountain stream.


    Prophetic Voices is hosted by the Rev. Isaiah “Shaneequa” Brokenleg, The Episcopal Church’s staff officer for Racial Reconciliation. For more information on Becoming Beloved Community, visit iam.ec/becomingbelovedcommunity
