Lectionary Hacks
The Ven. Laurie Brock Pankey and The Rev. Dr. Steve Pankey bring you a weekly podcast on the Lectionary Gospels. In the horse world, where Laurie lives, a hack is an easy, non-competitive ride to relax both horse and rider. In golf, where Steve likes to spend his time, you occasionally have to hack your way out of the rough. At Lectionary Hacks, we’ll try to make it easy for you, but we might take a few wild swings as well.

There are a lot of options for Sunday's lessons. Some might be on Proper 26C. Some might have permission to use the old BCP lessons. But here at Lectionary Hacks, we're discussing the Gospel appointed for All Saints' Day in the Revised Common Lectionary.

The Lectionary gave us 2/3s of the Parable of the Losts, and we tried to stick to the script. We weren't always successful.

We are using a new recording platform, which we probably won't use again. Apologies for some glitches and it sounding like a recording from the 1980s.

Two weeks in a row! Don't get spoiled. This week, we tackle the Gospel lesson for Proper 16C, ponder what it means to keep the Sabbath holy, and allow our imaginations to roam through the Synagogue.

We missed another week, but WE'RE BACK BABY! It is a tough Gospel lesson this week, but we dig in and offer some angles to hack your way through. Steve left his laptop in Lexington, so the usual intro music is missing, but you'll survive.
