Red Church Door Podcast

Since the birth of the church, there has been a branch of mysticism that has invited believers into deep and complex experiences with the divine. On this episode of the Red Church Door Podcast, Colin shares his recent exploration with the Christian mystics and welcomes this week's guest, Robert A. Jonas, M.T.S. Jonas (as is he called by those who know him) is the founder and director of The Empty Bell, a contemplative sanctuary in Northampton, MA, with a special emphasis on Buddhist-Christian dialogue, and on the arts. Colin talks to Jonas about the intersection of Christianity and Eastern religious traditions meet, the impact of the Empty Bell in Christian and Buddhist dialogue, and the role Jonas's deep friendship with Henri Nouwen has had on his own faith journey.   Show Notes: The Empty Bell: http://www.emptybell.org/ World Community for Christian Meditation: https://wccm.org/ Contemplative Outreach Center: https://www.contemplativeoutreach.org

On the third season premiere of the Red Church Door podcast, our host Colin Chapman sits down (on Zoom) with Polly Ingraham (https://www.pastorswifeblog.com), author, high school teacher, and wife to an Episcopal Bishop (the Rt. A. Robert Hirschfeld, Episcopal Church of New Hampshire). Polly shares stories of how she and Bp. Rob met, what it is like to be married to a member of the Clergy when one was not raised in that faith, and what the Church might be able to learn from her experience. After spending a year in the Memoir Incubator program at Grub Street in Boston, Polly recently completed a book manuscript about her life as a clergy spouse and the evolution of their unusual marriage and is actively seeking representation. (Note: In the episode, Colin mentions the manuscript as if it had a title and release date - this was an error.) At the top of the show, Colin welcomes his own clergy partner, Christie Everett Chapman, as she reflects on how growing up as a pastor’s kid made the idea of marrying a clergy person unappealing.

Do Millennials and Baby Boomers view God differently? Does it matter? This week, Colin speaks with the Rev. Celeste Hemingson and the Rev. Greg Baker about the Baby Boomer and Millennial viewpoints and experiences of God, Jesus, and religion. What are the consequences of their differences? In what ways are they similar? The Rev. Celeste Hemingson was ordained in 2003, after a 35 year career in management with the Social Security Administration. Rev. Celeste has lived in Hopkinton since 1987 and specializes in interim ministry. She is currently the Interim Rector of St. George's in Durham, NH. She also serves the Diocese of New Hampshire as Chaplain to retired clergy and spouses. The Rev. Gregory Baker was ordained in July, 2020. He graduated from Yale Divinity School this past May and is answering his first call as Curate of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Nashua, NH. Greg is also interested in the reform of the prison industrial complex and working with the incarcerated.

Did you know that "Columbus Day" now appears on Google calendars listed as a "regional holiday?" Just after Thanksgiving week -- a week fraught with stereotypes of indigenous peoples -- Colin speaks with Bishop Carol Gallagher about the intersections of our christian faith and indigenous peoples -- and how Bishop Gallagher's advocacy for indigenous peoples has impacted and shaped her own spiritual journey and relationship with God. The Rt. Rev. Dr. Carol Gallagher is Regional Canon for the Central Region of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. Prior to her call in Massachusetts, Gallagher was assistant bishop in the Diocese of Montana, developing relationships with Native leaders and congregations there. She is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation and has served on numerous church and civic committees and boards, including the Episcopal Church Council on Indian Ministries, the Anglican Indigenous Network, Anglican Peace with Justice Concerns, the Committee on the Status of Women, the Episcopal Divinity School Board of Trustees and the United Way of America National Board.

In the midst of a global pandemic and fallout from contentious election-season politics what many seek today is a way to find sabbath to spiritually reset.. Today, Colin is speaking with Joan Bowers to explore what a Sabbath can look like for different people -- what are the options, strategies, and techniques for practicing Sabbath? How might the pandemic itself be viewed as a sabbath? Joan is a former college English instructor who retired with her husband in March 2020 -- just in time for COVID. This summer she and a fellow Companion from the Society of the Companions of the Holy Cross facilitated two week-long, online sessions of spiritual direction training offered by Adelynrood, a retreat center near Newburyport, MA, run by the SCHC. In addition, Joan has been reading more nonfiction than usual and enjoying daily visits to a nearby pond. She appreciates communing with God, nature, and the fascinatingly diverse people who also find themselves drawn there. -- Where to Find a Spiritual Director: Episcopal Church (Province 1/New England): https://www.province1.org/spiritual-direction Spiritual Directors International: https://www.sdicompanions.org/find-a-spiritual-companion/  

With one week before the election, Colin talks to Dr. Susannah Heschel, professor of Jewish Studies and daughter of the great Abraham Joshua Heschel, about the troubling intersection of religion and politics in modern day America, and how this relates to the role religion played in Hitler's Germany. Dr. Heschel is Chair of the Jewish Studies Program and the Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College. Her scholarship focuses on Jewish-Christian relations in Germany during the 19th and 20th centuries, the history of biblical scholarship, and the history of anti-Semitism. She is the author of the bookThe Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany. Susannah's father is the internationally recognized scholar and theologian, Abraham Joshua Heschel, author of such seminal works as The Sabbath and The Prophets.

This is the second half of our conversation with Jerusalem Greer. Jerusalem is the Staff Officer for Evangelism in the Episcopal Church. On this episode we talk about how the Church is starting to plant seeds in this uncertain soil for the future, and how you can do the same at home.

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, stay-at-home orders and physical distancing, the work from home phenomenon -- WFH -- has quickly trended into a thing.

This episode explores worship, prayer, and creating sacred spaces at home. How do creative sacred spaces at home support prayer, worship? Can we really engage and connect with God at home (and through online sharing and participation)?

The Rev. Anna V. Ostenso Moore is the Associate Priest for Family Ministry at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Minneapolis, and is the author of Today is a Baptism Day, a children’s picture book recently released by Church Publishing. On today’s episode, I sat down to what I thought was simply a conversation about the book, but as you’ll hear, dives much deeper into Anna’s personal life, and how the current position she and her husband find themselves, highlights the difference between the very present idea of Baptism and the agony of waiting for God’s time. --- From Anna’s Website:Wife, priest, daughter, sister, aunt, godparent, and friend, her greatest joys include dancing at every opportunity, a good pot of tea with her husband, David, and exploring new places with her family. The Rev. Anna V. Ostenso Moore found the Episcopal Church as a teenager. Sitting by the side of a lake in Northern Minnesota after college graduation, she felt a call to faith formation grounded in community, wonder, Holy mystery, and our Sacred Stories. That call has led her across the Atlantic Ocean and back. Her educational background includes a BA in Chinese International Studies from Middlebury College, Vermont and an MA in Youth Ministry and Theological Education from King’s College, London. She currently the Associate Priest for Family Ministry at St. Mark’s Cathedral. She spent years reading a picture book in worship every Sunday, wondering where God was within the words and images. Her first picture book, “Today is a Baptism Day,” which she wrote to reflect the beauty of the families with whom she works, is now available. -- You Can Purchase: Today is a Baptism Day on Amazon Today is a Baptism Day: An ideal book to read with children to wonder and learn about baptism, with illustrations that reflect the diversity of God’s people. Grounded in the Episcopal liturgical tradition, it is an accessible and inviting introduction to baptism for children and families of many Christian traditions. While learning what occurs during a baptism service, the reader (both child and parent) will be guided through the sacramental and communal aspects of the celebration. Beautifully illustrated in full color, a dedication page encourages personalization of the book, making it a perfect baptism gift. A family section offers questions and suggests ways to go deeper in conversation about baptism, making it a resource that families will use again and again with their children. -- If you know anyone who may be seeking parents to adopt their child, please share Anna and David with them.
