Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) to explore new and nerdy connections to the scripture for the 5th Sunday of Easter, which falls on May 2nd this year, including our deep dive into gender and eunuchs!
The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here. We talked about gender and Kia, the Ethiopian eunuch who encounters Philips in Acts, and you can hear the sermon behind the name we use here. Also, if you want to learn more about gender diversity and the Bible, Pastor Emily’s twitter thread is great and they link to Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg’s twitter thread as well! Other great resources we mentioned are Austen Hartke’s book Transforming: the Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians and the work Peterson Toscano does with biblical interpretation. Pastor Kay mentioned this tumblr thread about punishing the behavior you want. Plus, Emily made a map of Kay’s explanation of Philip’s travels, so check it out!
CN: we talk about transphobic policies and violence when discussing the deep dive.
Violence against Black people and trans people in second reading (1 John).
