In this fifth episode of season 4 of Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community, we speak with Episcopalians committed to the Beloved Community about the texts for the Easter Vigil. The texts covered in this episode are Exodus 14:10-31, 15:20-21, and Luke 24:1-12. Our guests this week are:  

• The energetic Nick Gordon, the United Thank Offering‘s Julia Chester Emery intern working with the Reconciliation, Justice, and Creation Care team. He is a college student attending New York University and is a vestry and altar guild member at St. John’s in the Village Church in New York City. He is also a current member of the Diocese of New York’s Committee to Elect a Bishop and Antiracism Committee. 
• The Rev. Lydia Simmons, from Lead, South Dakota, missioner for Camp and Young Adult Ministries for the Diocese of South Dakota and rector of Christ Church Episcopal in Lead. Her labradoodle puppy, Luna, loves to contribute to all aspects of her ministry, including in the background of most conversations! 

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.
