In this first episode of season 2 of Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community, we speak with Episcopalians committed to the Beloved Community about the texts for Palm Sunday. The texts covered in this episode are ⁠Mark 11:1-11 and 14:1-15:47⁠. Our guests this week are:

• The Rev. Kevin Antonio (KA) Smallwood, associate rector for families, children, and youth at ⁠Grace Episcopal Church⁠ in Silver Spring, Md. When he’s not praying, he’s dancing to the rhythm of the beat for the tri-fold benefit of resisting the “isms”, self-care, and sharing the love.
• Michael Toy is originally from Texas and is currently waiting out the pandemic at ⁠St. Peter’s on Willis Anglican Church⁠ in Wellington, New Zealand.
• The Rev. Nancy Frausto is the associate rector at ⁠St. Luke’s Episcopal Church⁠ in Long Beach, Cal., a founding member of the Diocese of Los Angeles Sanctuary Task Force, and a Dreamer (DACA recipient). 

Prophetic Voices is hosted by the Rev. Isaiah “Shaneequa” Brokenleg, The Episcopal Church’s staff officer for Racial Reconciliation. For more information on Becoming Beloved Community, visit iam.ec/becomingbelovedcommunity.
