    Ep. 7: You Anglican't Always Get What You Want w/ Clare

    This week, Sainted Love sat down with the Rev. Clare Morgan (they/them) of the Anglican Church of Canada. We had beautiful and thoughtful conversations about the complicated history of the Anglican church, what indigenous and queer allyship within the church can and should look like, the divine feminine, and God as the beloved/lover. Also, they play the Celtic Harp??  ***Content Warning: Mention of anti-queerness, anti-queer theology, residential schools, and the relationship of the church with Indigenous people.***

    Ep. 6: Smells Like Holy Spirit w/ Simon

    This week our team have an in depth conversation with Rev. Simon LeSieur of the United Church of Canada. They chat about Fruit Loop "Rice Krispy" squares, the life of a pastor's kid, and miracles, while ruminating on just what is the Holy Spirit and should there be an HBO mini-series about the life and times of a teenaged Simon? Our vote is yes. ***Content Warning: Mention of spiritual and religious abuse, anti-queerness, anti-queer theology, residential schools, genocide, and the relationship of the church with Indigenous people***

    Ep. 5: You Give God A Bad Name

    This week, we discussed Hillsong Church, and we were consequentially horrified. We learned about its history, structure, and of course, its many many controversies.  As a much needed palate cleanser, we played another round of Who Said It: Religious Figures. ***Content Warning: Mention of spiritual, emotional, and sexual abuse. Mentions of abuses of LGBTQ2s+ people at the hands of Hillsong Church.***
