14th Sunday after Pentecost Year A

Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) to explore new and nerdy connections to the scripture for the 14th Sunday after Pentecost, also known as Lectionary 22 or Proper 17, which falls on September 3rd this year, including our deep dive into vengeance! 

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here.  For more on law and legality, check out this recent Philosophy Tube episode.  Dive deeper into what Sodom and Gomorrah were really about with last year’s episode on the 7th Sunday after Pentecost.  Check out this Jewish Women’s Archive article for more about Dinah.  This is the Movie in 15 Minutes retelling of Troy that Kay mentioned.  For the best theological take on lynching, check out The Cross and the Lynching Tree by James Cone.

CN: we talk about both systemic and interpersonal, including sexual, violence when discussing the deep dive. We mention abuse briefly in the Gospel reading.
