In this episode we speak with the Reverend Olivia Hamilton who serves as the Curate at Calvary Episcopal Church in the Clifton neighborhood of Cincinnati, and until very recently served as a full-time chaplain at Cincinnati's Children's Hospital in the Psychiatry department. She feels deeply called to working with children with mental illness and their families. Olivia received her Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School in 2015. For two years after that she served as an assistant chaplain to college students through the Episcopal Chaplaincy at Harvard. Olivia's family includes her wife Molly (who is a nurse practitioner in the Children's Hospital Trans* Clinic), their adopted daughter and foster son, as well as their rescue. Both Olivia and Molly are Cincinnati natives, who enjoy cooking, spending time in the woods, and hanging out with their big extended family. As you'll see during our time together, Olivia discusses some important points about how we can bring about a more just Cincinnati in relation to the LGBTQ+ community and our communities of faith.
You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that although Pauly D was one of the stars of MTV's mid-2000s reality tv show, the Jersey Shore, he was actually born in Providence? The 2011 and 2012 Teen Choice Award for best male reality star has had his own spin-off tv show, released music on 50 Cent's label, and opened for bigger stars like Britney Spears, Jay Sean, and 50 Cent.-- Now, for our feature story: After a year of being shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the venerable Calvary Nursery School, a Stonington institution, will reopen next fall with a new community partner. The school — nestled in the heart of Stonington Borough — will reopen in collaboration with a neighbor, New England Science & Sailing Foundation. It's a partnership that has brought a fair amount of excitement to both organizations. Nursery School chairperson, Dana Dupont, said "This is where the fun used to happen," as she stood inside the school's main classroom with Eric Isselhardt, the science and sailing foundation's executive director of education, and the Rev. Gillan Barr, rector of Calvary Episcopal Church. They reminisced about pre-pandemic days when the space was bustling with activity. It's where the fun will begin again next fall, she said. Here, inside the Church Street headquarters, and a few blocks away at the foundation's headquarters on Water Street, the three agreed as they chatted about plans for the collaboration and how it all came together. Because Spike Lobdell, the science and sailing foundation's founder and CEO, also serves on the church vestry, Dupont explained, a conversation about the two organizations working together began almost organically. The nursery school, founded in 1994 with a mission to nurture the development of each child in a safe and inspirational learning environment, will bring the foundation's Ocean Adventure Education Programs to their students this coming academic year. "Calvary Nursery School students will participate in two NESS programs a week throughout the school year, while still taking part in the beloved traditions of Calvary Nursery School," she added.

To try and try again and reiterate and pivot and invest in something like the Log College Project—that shows so much faith in this idea that relationships and faith and young people matter to the congregation. And if that's not God building something in the community, I don't know what is. -Kelsey LambrightPart One—From Tragedy to Transformation(0:00-5:04)Host Megan DeWald sets the stage for understanding the context in which Calvary Episcopal Church in Rochester, Minnesota is developing a new form of youth ministry through the Institute for Youth Ministry's Log College Project.Part Two—The Church as Caretaker(5:05-16:44)Abigail Visco Rusert discusses the theological questions raised by Calvary Episcopal Church in their application to the Log College Project, particularly calling us to consider the role of baptism in youth ministry.

I think that was really liberating, the first time that we heard from the voice of Princeton that 'we expect you to fail, and it's okay! And we will learn from that failure, and "fail forward" is a thing'... And so to really benefit from the innovation process or the design process, you have to embrace that value, or it doesn't work. -Lisa KauferPart One—More Than a Single Story(0:00-5:07)Host Megan DeWald sets the stage for understanding the context in which the First Presbyterian Church of Middletown, Ohio is developing a new form of youth ministry through the Institute for Youth Ministry's Log College Project.Part Two—The Ghost of Youth Ministry Past(5:08-13:34)Abigail Visco Rusert discusses how the nostalgic longing that churches have to return to the youth ministry models of the past gets in the way of our capacity attend to the real needs of young people today.

This practice also led to the discovery that young people need safe space outside the walls of the church where they can experience true welcome and belonging.Part Four—The Practice of Prophetic Listening (24:54-32:53)Kelsey Lambright, the Lead Researcher for the Log College Project, reflects on how First Pres Middletown has begun to value the perspectives and passions of their young people, even honoring their concerns as prophetic.Conclusion & Credits(32:54-34:15)Next week, we feature stories from Calvary Episcopal Church of Rochester, Minnesota, and learn about how their unique context in a premiere medical destination has informed their dreams of connecting middle school students to one another and to the church. ___________________________________Audio editing and production by Nii Addo Abrahams (Follow @_nickyflash_)Music available at Epidemic Sound (https://www.epidemicsound.com/)The IYM thanks Maiia Avelino, Lisa Kaufer, Kelsey Lambright, & Christine Toto.
