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 Proper 19 or Lectionary 24, which falls on September 11th this year, including our deep dive into islamophobia!


The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here.  For a better understanding of the differences between hijabs, burqas, niqabs, and other clothing, check out this article.  This Vox article shares important experiences of Muslim Americans since September 11, 2001.  Check out our episode for Good Shepherd Sunday (Easter 4) with Polly Festa for more on what a shepherd might do for a lost sheep.  Learn more about Zari, the Afghan Muppet introduced in 2016 and Noor and Aziz, Rohingya Muslim twin Muppets introduced in 2020.


CN: we talk about islamophobia and white (Christian) nationalism when discussing the deep dive.
