All Things … Episcopal
All Things … Episcopal is a platform to talk about the Episcopal faith and to introduce some basics about the Episcopal Church, including why we do some of the things we do that may sometimes be a mystery (or even an obstacle) to those new to our church. The intended audience for this podcast is college students and young adults, especially those who may be coming from outside our faith tradition.

We talk about how Episcopalians view Holy Scripture and if there’s a way to faithfully study and understand them. We also discuss the importance of translations of the Bible and where to start reading the Bible if you are wanting to explore it for the first time.

In these episodes… we talk about the sacrament of Holy Communion and the Episcopal doctrine of the Eucharist, “Episco-ettique” as Fr.

#8 The Church as a Spiritual Community and an Institution
In this episode … we hear from Fr. David and Fr. Collin about koinonia, or communion, and the importance of participating in the church community. They addressed challenges within institutions, the benefits of having a church community, and their personal experiences within the church.
We want to introduce the Episcopal Church from multiple perspectives and with different voices, utilizing social media to find out what questions students may have about who we are and what we do. Guest speakers, including college students from around our diocese, are already being scheduled for future sessions.
We do not currently have a physical presence on college campuses in our diocese, but we think podcasting offers a great opportunity to meet young adults where they are and share our faith in a way that is personal, comfortable, and always accessible.
We hope that these sessions will be a bridge to connect college students with local parishes and with other young adults.
