#47: Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Sunday Morning Matinee

Annnnnnnnnnd...We are back! After a summer vacation, Matt and Adam return for another season of Technicolor Jesus. This fall they will talk to old and new friends about movies, theology, ministry and our world. On the first episode of the season, Matt and Adam welcome back Old Testament Professor, Laurel Koepf-Taylor to discuss the new Fred Rogers documentary, Won’t you be My Neighbor? In the first segment of the show, the group considers the model of Fred Rogers for ministry today and how sincerity, earnestness, and care might infuse the work of ministry whether it be worship or advocacy. In the second segment of the show, the group discusses the lectionary passages for September 16th, the 19th Sunday after Pentecost. With the theme of teaching evident in this week’s lectionary the dicussion turns to Roger’s role as a teacher and what we might learn from his work. Finally, in our last segment, Adam promotes a tiny desk concert and Matt suggests another podcast. After a summer of rest, Adam and Matt have jumped back on the trolley. Won’t you join us, neighbor?
