Utah Epodcopalians

On this episode of Utah Epodcopalians, the Diocese of Utah's Craig Wirth sits down with The Rev. Michael Carney and Forrest Cuch from St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church (Whiterocks) to talk about their new book A Native Way of Giving. 

We are debuting a special edition of the diocesan podcast “The Utah Epodcapalians” highlighting the gift of a half-century of the ordination of women. The church cleared the way for women to first be ordained as Deacons in 1971. Ordination to the Priesthood came later in 1977. The Diocese of Utah ordained women shortly after the canons permitted it. The diocese has also had a history of women serving our congregations and the wider diocese highlighted by the election of the late Rt. Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish in 1996 as one of the church’s pioneer bishops.

 

This podcast features The Rev. Cn. Mary June Nestler, who has now been ordained for 42-years. While now serving the wider church as the course director of St. George’s College in Jerusalem, she continues to be canonically resident in the Diocese of Utah after serving as Canon to the Ordinary in Utah. The priest discusses the challenges ordained women faced and continue to face, our diocesan history, and how the events of 50-years ago continue to help the path to greater diversity today.

On July 4th 1867, Daniel S. Tuttle, the first Bishop of the Diocese of Utah arrived in Salt Lake City. A lot has happened with our church in the last 154 years, giving Craig Wirth and our Diocesan Historiographer, Kurt Cook, plenty to talk about!

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect how we worship in 2021. We have also come to witness deep political unrest and violence across our nation, including last week in Washington, D.C.

On this episode of Epodcopalians, The Rev. Charles Robinson of St. Luke's Episcopal Church (Park City) joins the diocese’s Craig Wirth to discuss COVID-19, political unrest, and civic dialogue. 

A year ago, we never would have guessed that the COVID-19 pandemic would turn our world upside down as much as it has. Despite the challenges facing us, we have remained committed to offering worship opportunities for all in our diocese. On this episode of Epodcopalians, The Very Rev. Tyler Doherty, Dean and Rector of the Cathedral Church of St. Mark, joins the diocese's Craig Wirth to discuss online worship in the time of COVID.

 

Halloween didn’t just somehow start with costumes and trick-or-treat. It goes back to All Hallows Eve which is the evening before All Saint’s Day in the Christian calendar. Hallows is the term for Saints, so it is the eve of the saints. The Utah Epodcopalians traces the origins and the religious significance of All Hallows Eve and All Saints Day. Our special guest is The Rev. Trace Browning of All Saints Church, Salt Lake City.

Note: This episode is a re-run and was recorded last year for All Hallows Eve. 

Bishop Hayashi joins Craig Wirth to chat about the upcoming election and what we can do to handle election anxiety in healthy way.
