Rev. Francisco Garcia and Rev. Canon Jaime Edwards-Acton discuss the weekly Episcopal lectionary through the distinct lens of liberation, affirming that God stands with the poor, marginalized, and disenfranchised and works towards universal justice.
This week, Jaime and Francisco look at Luke 1:39-55, the gospel reading for this coming Sunday, the 4th Sunday of Advent, year C. This is a well-known, much-beloved passage that includes, after her visit from the Angel Gabriel with his incredible news, Mary rushing to the Judean hill country to share the news with her cousin Elizabeth. There Mary received confirmation from Elizabeth and Mary breaks out in song. Singing about something essential about God's work in the world. "God has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; God has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty."

Luke 3:7-18 | December 7, 2021
In this episode, Francisco and Jaime take a look at the continued story of John the Baptist in Luke 3:7-18. We're still in the desert at the Jordan and John is baptizing folks, urging them to live a kind of life that reflects that their "thinking and perceiving apparatuses" [Brueggemann] have truly changed. The call to change is not a high bar, but it does require everyone to change in some way. Come join the discussion. Let us know what you think. Share with a friend.

Luke 3:1-6 | November 30, 2021
In this episode, Francisco and Jaime mine Luke 3:1-6 for nuggets of liberation. It is the Second Sunday of Advent and we make our way from near the end of the story of Jesus in Luke's gospel last week towards the beginning of the story this week. Today's stop is John the Baptizer. He is out in the desert telling folks that they need to get to leveling. The valleys and mountains that John is talking about won't require bulldozers. These will require justice, inclusion, equity, new ways of thinking. Come join the conversation. Share your thoughts in the comments. Share with a friend.
