Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) to explore new and nerdy connections to the scripture for the 25th Sunday after Pentecost, also known as Lectionary 33 or Proper 28, which falls on November 19th this year, including our deep dive into currency! 

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here.  We mentioned last year’s episode for the 21st Sunday after Pentecost diving deep into taxes, last week’s episode diving deep into lighting, this season’s 19th Sunday after Pentecost episode diving deep into vineyards, last season’s Maundy Thursday episode diving deep into Passover with Rabbi Maurice Appelbaum, and last year’s episode for the 15th Sunday after Pentecost diving deep into capitalism with Dr. Filipe Maia.
