In this episode…we are in conversation with The Rev. Dr. Dan Joslyn-Siemiatkoski for an “Ask Me Anything” episode on Church History. We tackle all the things about the schisms of the early Church, unity over uniformity, and the most scandalous questions that is often asked about the start of the Church of England… Did the Church of England start over a divorce?

Our Podcasts
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.
For more information and to suggest a topic or pose a question, please visit the College and Young Adult webpage. Look for All Things … Episcopal wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!
