Liturgical Shenanigans: The Podcast

S2.E5 | Thanksgiving Shenanigans

Happy Wednesday and (almost) Thanksgiving! The worst time of the year for turkeys. The Liturgical Shenantanigizers discuss their holiday traditions and why they are or are not meaningful. Why gather? Why not gather? Who are we gathering with? And (most importantly) why would anyone ever eat cranberry sauce that did not come from an Ocean Spray can (not sponsored)?

S2.E2 | Artist-Theologian?

Happy liturgical Wednesday! This week your favorite shenantanigizers talk about what it means to be exploring the dual vocation of "artist-theologian." 
We wonder: what is your familiarity with the terms artist and theologian? Do YOU think they compliment each other? Are you comfortable leaning into either or both labels? Does one need to earn the right to declare themselves an artist or a theologian?

Here you will find various pathways to discuss different liturgical topics or to just say hello. Hope to see you there!

S2.E1 | Wayfolk Manifesto

ANNNNNNDDD we're back! In this episode your favorite shenantanigizers return and discuss what exactly they believe and long for Wayfolk Arts to do via a manifesto. You can read the draft of the manifesto they engage here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zcu8fRf1Snx6VrIr-xerjzEhrNsNX2jgcd5bhUzMUk0/edit?usp=sharing
Correction corner- Hannah defends her choice of the word manifesto by claiming a love for a Wendell Berry poem she titles "The Mad Farmer Manifesto" when it is in fact titled "Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front." Her error is valid but an error none-the-less. 
We want to know your personal manifestos! You can communicate with us via any of our socials (listed below) or by joining our discord channel: Wayfolk Arts Discord Family. Here you will find various pathways to discuss different liturgical topics or to just send us a hey. Hope to see you there!
