It's official! Sunday School for Heathens is BACK!

Thank you all for sticking with us during our "short" 5 year hiatus. In this casual episode, we catch up on the last 5 years with each other, the church, and in the world.

Our Saint today is Saint Giles, who really is a bunch of saint tropes mixed together.

We’re back with a special episode! This one is all about spiritual communion. Bryan tells us why really wanting bread that makes you live forever is sometimes enough, particularly in these times when it is not safe to gather at church. Our saint is Saint Linwina, who stayed in bed for a very long time.

This week we are wrapping up the Song of Solomon. Bryan walks us through the many interpretations of this story and Shannon wonders why anyone would want this to be less sexy. Our saint this week is Saint Marcarius the Younger, the hermit of all hermits.

This week Bryan tells us the story of Samuel Seabury (yes, the guy from Hamilton) and the founding the Episcopal Church! We trace the history from Anglicans, through the colonies, and into the independent United States. Our saint this week is Saint Cecilia, who checks off all the early female saint tropes.

This week we are talking about Limbo! Bryan tells us the story of the two kinds of limbo and the controversy that had followed one of them through history. Our saint is Saint Adjutor of Vernon, who definitely would have owned a Yacht.

This is a special episode this week! We are talking about Abortion with Rev. Katey Zeh. She guides us through some biblical references used by both sides of the abortion debate, talks about it’s history as a political issue, and encourages everyone (Christian or not), to examine this issue for themselves. Our saint is Saint Germain Cousin, who lived in a cupboard under the stairs but definitely wasn’t Harry Potter.

We are turning the tables this week and Shannon is taking over the episode! Listen as she makes her case to Bryan about why Hildegard should be the Patron Saint of Podcasts. Our actual patronage pop quiz this week is about Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who was so charismatic in his preaching, even his dad became a monk.
