Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) to dive into John Brown, Paul in his letter to Philemon, and Kira Nerys for our 7th episode in our Nerds At Church Superhero Spectacular Season! 

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here.  The biblical hero, Paul’s letter to Philemon, comes up in the lectionary for Proper 18 or Lectionary 23 in Year C, which will be September 7, 2025.  For more on Paul, check out our deep dive in our Easter 3 episode for Year C.  For more about abolition, check out our episode with Elle Dowd for Easter 4 Year B.  Check out the poem about John Brown’s body.

CN: we talk about slavery throughout, mention “comfort women” while talking about Kira Nerys, and talk about violence and capital punishment when discussing John Brown.
