5th Sunday of Easter Year A

Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) to explore new and nerdy connections to the scripture for the 5th Sunday of Easter, which falls on May 7th this year, including our deep dive into martyrdom! 

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here.  For more about the disciples’ lives (and deaths), check out this year’s Easter 3 episode.  More on Paul can be found in last year’s Easter 3 episode.  You can explore the connection between martyrdom and sainthood in our All Saints episode from our first season and our deep dive into Oscar Romero for Lent 5 in our first season.  For more on the self-immolation of some Buddhist monks, check out this article.  Emily mentioned the movie Sunshine, which Horror Nerds At Church covered last season.

CN: we talk about martyrdom and killing when discussing the deep dive and the Acts reading.
