On this week's episode of 'The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Capitol control. Who will hold the majority in the next House of Representatives remains unclear, but Democrats are already gearing up for life in Trump's Washington. Rep. Nanette Barragan, Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Rep. Barbara Lee, former chair for the Congressional Black Caucus, and Rep. Marc Pocan, chair emeritus of the Congressional Progressive Caucus will take us inside how Democrats will confront a second Trump administration. Never mind?

We were fortunate to have Bishop Gene Robinson with us preaching and presiding on September 29, 2024 as we continued to celebrate our tenth anniversary as a church. In his sermon, Bishop Robinson speaks of God's outrageous love for each and every one of us, and how we are called to church to be fed and nourished with that love, so we can go out and tell others of that great love.

The U.S. Episcopal Church and by extension the worldwide Anglican Communion was rocked by the selection of the first out gay bishop twenty years ago this week.

Remembering the late Bishop John Shelby Spong, who left us last Sunday at the age of 90. The author of over 25 books including Rescuing the Bible From Fundamentalism and Jesus for the Non-Religious, the bishop was a towering force for human rights and radical inclusivity way before his time. I'll talk with Bishop Gene Robinson, who knew Jack well. And you'll hear some highlights from Bishop Spong's appearances here on our program over the years.

Bob joins Bishop Gene Robinson, the chaplain of the Chautauqua Institution for a special talk about his life of faith as a professional musician, father, and friend. Their remarkable CHQ Assembly conversation comes during such a difficult time for so many, and remembers how his faith in Jesus grew amidst the crisis of his daughter, Hallie’s, brain tumor and treatment. Bishop Robinson brings pastoral sensibility and keen spiritual insight. Featured music comes from Winston-Salem’s The Pharaoh Sisters and their album Civil Dawn.

On the next State of Belief Radio, The Rt. Rev. Bishop Gene Robinson will weigh in on the historic presidential run of openly-gay, openly-religious Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Also, the first southern state has just passed a law protecting young LGBTQ+ persons from the deadly pseudo-science of ex-gay therapy. Adam Trimmer is Virginia Ambassador for the National Center for Lesbian Rights “Born Perfect” campaign. And a comprehensive voter guide for citizens most affected by the current administration – Muslim-Americans. We’ll hear from Muslim Public Affairs Council Communications Manager Raahima Shoaib.

Bishop Gene Robinson is the first openly gay man to be elected bishop in the high church traditions of Christendom, putting him directly in the center of the LGBTQ+ faith controversy. In this episode, he sits down with Matthias to talk about what we lose when we don't pursue inter-generational friendships. Bishop Gene was invited by President Barack Obama to give the invocation at the inaugural ceremonies at the Lincoln Memorial in 2009. More recently, he presided over the interment of Matthew Shepard’s ashes in the Washington National Cathedral last fall. Robinson is the author of two books In The Eye of the Storm: Swept to the Center by God and God Believes in Love: Straight Talk about Gay Marriage. He's currently the VP of Religion at the Chautauqua Institution in New York.

Bishop Gene Robinson joins us to reflect on his first season as Chautauqua's vice president of religion and senior pastor, and particularly the Interfaith Fridays initiative launched in 2018, which will continue in 2019. A full DVD set of the nine 2018 Interfaith Fridays is available for purchase at the Chautauqua Bookstore.

This week, LGBTQ icon Matthew Shepard was finally laid to rest.  He was interred at Washington, DC’s National Cathedral, as Bishop (retired) Gene Robinson, an LGBTQ icon himself officiated. Bishop Gene was a firebrand issue when he became the first openly gay Episcopal bishop years ago. “There are three things I’d say to Matt: ‘Gently rest in this place. You are safe now. And Matt, welcome home.’ Amen.” he stated. Tonight, we have Bishop Gene as our guest.  We will talk to him about love, spirit, historic events and his apology to those hurt by religious communities. With co-host Brody Levesque.

The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, vice president of religion and senior pastor at Chautauqua Institution, joins the podcast this episode to share his remarkable faith journey — including his path to being the first openly gay man to be elected bishop in the high church traditions of Christendom — and a preview of the Department of Religion's 2018 programs and initiatives in interfaith engagement. Robinson is the former Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire, and currently serves as a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and Auburn Seminary.

Pope Francis Goes To WashingtonFrom Pope Francis’ first visit to the U.S. to Ben Carson’s comments about American Muslims, the celebration of Eid al Adha to the observance of Yom Kippur – this was the type of week that us interfaith junkies live for. On this episode of State of Belief, Interfaith Alliance’s weekly radio show and podcast, Rev. Welton Gaddy takes a look at everything that’s been going on. Bishop Gene Robinson will share what he saw at the Pope’s reception at the White House on Wednesday and respond to the outrage of the Religious Right that LGBT leaders were invited to receive the Holy Father. Rabbi Jack Moline, Interfaith Alliance’s executive director, will talk about the week in religious freedom – from Pope Francis’s speech to Congress to Ben Caron’s offensive comments. And, finally, we’ll take a look back in our archives and listen to Welton’s 2010 interview with acclaimed country singer/songwriter, and LGBT equality advocate, Chely Wright. Pope Francis Goes To Washington The streets of our nation’s capital were packed this week as Pope Francis began his first ever trip to the United States. As part of this historic visit President Obama welcomed the Holy Father to the White House at a reception that – to the chagrin of Religious Right activists – included prominent LGBT faith leaders, including our good friend Bishop Gene Robinson. Bishop Gene joins our show to describe what he witnessed at this once in a lifetime experience. An Unusual Address to Congress and All Too Usual Rhetoric From Politicians This week saw a Pontiff address a joint session of Congress for the first time in our nation’s history. This week also saw politicians doubling down on unnerving rhetoric about the role of American Muslims in our nation and political system. Welton invites on Rabbi Jack Moline, Executive Director of Interfaith Alliance, to walk us through the week in religious freedom. What church-state separation issues did the Pope’s speech evoke? Why has religious freedom skyrocketed to the forefront of the 2016 campaign? What can listeners do to make sure candidates for public office respect the rights of all Americans? Tune in to hear Rabbi Moline’s take on these questions and more! A Look Back: An Interview with Chely Wright As we get closer to the 10th anniversary of State of Belief, we’re revisiting some of our favorite interviews. This week, we rewind to a powerful 2010 interview with out Lesbian Country singer/songwriter Chely Wright.  Earlier that year, she had made public that she was gay. Since then, Chely has married and given birth to twins; has devoted herself to protecting LGBT youth; and this month, is back in the studio working on her 8th album.

Bishop Gene Robinson and Gabe Lyons engage in a conversation about the state of family values and marriage equality in the Christian church today.

Retired Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, author of God Believes in Love and a fellow of the Center for American Progress, joins the program on this week.

During the third segment, Bishop Craig Bergland (www.bishopcraig.com) joins the conversation.
