We unpack:
- Linear time vs. spiral time—yes, we’re getting a little philosophical
- Why Sundays aren’t just Sundays, and what it means to step out of Chronos and into Kairos
- How vestments, candles, and colors aren’t just aesthetics—they’re time cues
- The full sweep of the liturgical year: from Advent anticipation to Pentecost fire to the long green stretch of Ordinary Time
Plus, we’ll explore how the liturgical calendar isn’t just for worship—it’s a way of life. It reshapes how we pray, how we wait, how we remember, and how we hope.

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!
