In this episode of Faithfully Memphis, the Reverend Tom Momberg, priest in charge of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Memphis, Tennessee, is joined in conversation with his good friend John Ashworth for a discussion on the theme of "becoming beloved community one friendship at a time." The two met through their mutual work with the Lynching Sites Project of Memphis. Fr. Tom also talks about St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, whose feast day is observed on December 6.
In addition, Emily Austin talks about "Longest Night" services, typically held during the Advent season. Also called "Blue Christmas" services, these worship services honor the feelings of loss and sadness that are often silently endured during the holiday season. Church of the Holy Communion in Memphis will offer a Service for the Longest Nights on December 19 at 5:30 p.m. Learn more at holycommunion.org.
