A walk through the parables of Jesus presented by St. James Episcopal Church.
Join us each month as we reflect on one of the Parables of Jesus and consider what "The kingdom of God is like..." in our everyday life.
Special thanks to Matthew Melton for the theme music.
Cover Art includes a rendering of "The Sermon on the Mount" by Carl Heinrich Bloch, from his collection of paintings made in the mid to late 1850s for the King's Chapel at Frederiksborg Palace in Hillerød, Denmark.
Each Sunday in September, St. James highlights and commissions each of the ministries that provide ways to connect, serve, and worship as a community.
As we look forward to our Outreach Sunday this week, we sit down to talk with Jan McCorstin, Chair of our Mission and Outreach Committee, who shares the story of her first Yes to joining something new, and how that yes was an echo of all of those who had said Yes before her.
This Sunday we will host Dr. Scott Kellerman and Bishop James Stanton to help tell the story of The Kellermann Foundation and the partnership with St. James over more than two decades of ministry together.

Part Two of the Summer Camp Conversation
Part two of the Summer Camp conversation features stories and memories from The Rev. Barbara Kelton, recalling her decades experience not only as a priest, but the first woman who completed the ordination process in the Diocese of Dallas.
The conversation is a joyful recollection of a life of faith from a living saint shared with Fr. Jonathan Melton, Dr. Angela Urick, and Fr. Perry Mullins.

This episode features the importance of summer camps in our lives, and in light of the recent tragedies in central Texas, where camps around the Guadalupe River Valley experienced devastating flooding, we hope you will consider making a donation to the Diocese of West Texas Support Fund for Flood Relief.

The Summer Camp Episode - Part 1
The latest episode of Podcasting the parables was such a wonderful conversation that it had to be split into two parts.
In the midst of all the responsibilities of being a Dean at All Saints Camp, Fr. Jonathan sits down his fellow Deans, Dr. Angela Urick, The Rev. Barbara Kelton, and The Rev. Perry Mullins. In this first part they share memories and stories from Camps past, give a little insight to the week they shared together with a hundred or so others, and touch on the theme for our year, companions on the way.
Look for Part 2 of the conversation early next week.
