- Religion och spiritualitet
Ever noticed those missing verses from scripture passages in the revised common lectionary?
Sometimes we need a new way of looking at scripture as we prepare to preach. Mind the Gap is a podcast that pays extra attention to what gets left out. How does it change the context of the rest? Is there anything in there that could be fruitful for proclaiming the good news? Join us as we ponder these missing pieces.
