    Podcast Preview: Wall of Silence Ep. 2

    While we are no longer producing new Tent Talks episodes every now and then we will take the opportunity to point listeners to new projects. Tent producer and co-host Chris Marchand has just begun releasing a new podcast we wanted you to be aware of: Wall of Silence, about church abuse and mishandling in the Anglican Church in North America. This is the second of two preview episodes we are offering in the Tent feed. This episode introduces a parable, a kind of alternate version of the abuse cases of Cherin Marie's daughter and Joanna Rudenborg, and also features an interview segment with Stephen Backhouse, as did the first episode.

    New Podcast Preview: The Wall of Silence with Chris Marchand

    While we are no longer producing new Tent Talks episodes every now and then we will take the opportunity to point listeners to new projects. Tent producer and co-host Chris Marchand has just begun releasing a new podcast we wanted you to be aware of: Wall of Silence. Here is the description: In this first episode we introduce the sexual abuse case of lay pastor Mark Rivera. From there we begin to look outward to see how church leadership responded to it, from the local diocese to the national denomination, the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). As "the thesis," this episode is the explanation for why this podcast exists and whose story we are telling: the advocacy group ⁠ACNAtoo⁠ and all victims, whistleblowers, and advocates against church abuse in the ACNA.

Always challenging, always thought-provoking, always kind

Who knew ‘Tolkien on Non-violence’ was what I needed to hear this week as we try to find a voice on Israel-Gaza? But, as ever, Tent Talks managed to be inclusive and insightful, kind and challenging, different from anything else in my church/theology/politics world. Thank you!

Great podcast

The Tent theology podcast has been so encouraging to me as A follower of Jesus. So many challenging ideas and guests that bring fresh perspectives and much needed different voices. Thank you

Outstanding

This is just a brilliant podcast, challenging, engaging, and fearless. Stephen and the team and their guests are super interesting, relevant and honestly has been transformational in my own thought life over this last year or so. Well worth following and connecting in with.
