À propos de ce contenu audio

Reimagining church for a generation of exiles.
Pushed out or choosing to leave conservative traditions, many Christians are walking wounded. They still have faith but are rightfully fearful of practicing it in community.
This story is about a woman who inadvertently discovers the Episcopal Church, which offers her a space of healing from religious trauma. Yet, its traditions- though beautiful and meaningful- lack the down-to-earth Jesus community connectedness that she longs for.
Without a model for this hybrid expression of Christianity, she decides to start her own church. A place for ex-Evangelical wanderers. A place where the faithful, resist.

    This is the chaotic, joyful birth of new church, St. Lucy’s! Everything does not go as planned. And some things, elder Abbey has not had to pre-think about – The Many Children! How do you mesh spiritual traditions with rambunctious toddlers? Well, this episode you get to hear how the crew handled it, corralling babies behind an altar rail, and ultimately discovering- you have to feed the kids!

    Tune in to hear all about this wacky and wonderful launch day, and what the team has learned since. It’s warm, imperfect, and full of hope. With joy on the inside, joy on the outside, oh what a change we can make.

    St Lucy’s is almost a church! But, what will a church service be like? In the final month of planning, the team learns what is required for an Episcopal Eucharistic Service. They discuss each of the 7 steps that provide structure, and wonder about the meaning behind each one. How do you create an experience that won't create in-groups and out-groups, but practices anyone can participate in?

    Poking at implied power structures, this is about community more than perfection: flexible liturgy, homemade challah and thrifted cups, a table for offerings (and needs), and conversation instead of lecture. We fumble through the Book of Common Prayer, tinker with community created music, and discover how common practices have the power to quietly, subtly, reshape belief.
