• Summer Throwback: A Different Level of Compassion - Anny Stevens-Gleason

  We continue this summer's throwback episodes featuring monthly looks back at some of our favorites. In this episode (from July 2020), Anny Stevens-Gleason takes a look at Church of the Redeemer's long time relationship with Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) in conversations with past champion, Hollis Bass and with more recent volunteers, Sarah and Steve Nord. Hollis shares some history of Church of the Redeemer's involvement as well as what has been our standard set-up. Then Sarah and Steve talk about the effect of volunteering with this ministry has had on them as volunteers. Although the current pandemic may require some long term changes to the IHN structure, the involvement will surely remain as fruitful. As Sarah puts it, volunteering with IHN "gives you a different level of compassion."

• Summer Throwback: Mary and Elizabeth - Anny Stevens-Gleason

  We continue this summer's throwback episodes featuring monthly looks back at some of our favorites. In this episode, host Anny Stevens-Gleason and the Rev. Philip DeVaul invite us to see the Way of Love as a journey that can expand to include family and friends. Mary said yes to the call to birth Jesus, God's Word, into the world and immediately went in haste to share her good news with her cousin Elizabeth who lived in the Judean Hills, a four-day journey. Isn't that what happens when we hear good news? We are driven to go and tell others. The Way of Love is good news that demands to be shared.

• Life Transformed: Episode 7 - Anny Stevens-Gleason

  Life Transformed: The Way of Love in Lent Go - Cross boundaries, listen deeply, and live like Jesus. As Jesus went to the highways and byways, he sends us beyond our circles and comfort to witness to the love, justice and truth of God with our lips and with our lives. We go to listen with humility and to join God in healing a hurting world. We go to become beloved community, a people reconciled in love with God and one another. In this episode, Anny Stevens-Gleason and the Rev. Philip DeVaul talk about what the resurrection means to them as well as what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world. "There's the faithfulness to the women's action that allows them to be first witnesses of this reality. But it's also a true word to say that if you're the first person to see it, you will not necessarily be believed. And there are people within our culture who, if they say it, they are less likely to be believed. And that's there. It's written right in." ~ The Rev. Philip DeVaul
