Sunday School for Heathens
Season 1
by SundaySchoolforHeathens
Today we are talking about Maundy Thursday and the practice of foot washing. We trace this practice from Jesus all the way to churches today and help solve the mystery of why everyone sat at the same side of the table at the Last Supper. Our saint is Blessed Andrew of Segni, a tall man in a small cave.

We are turning the tables this week and Bryan gets to be the heathen! Our good friend (and actual bible scholar) Megan comes on the show to give her notes on fruit, God’s attitude, guys named John, and more! Our saint is Saint Brigid, who loved cows almost as much as Bryan.

This week, Bryan takes Shannon on a field trip to experience praying with a labyrinth. We go over the history and practice of labyrinths before chatting about the experience each of them had trying this out in person. Our saint is Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, our first flying saint!

You know what makes a great podcast episode? Talking about physical gestures! This week, Bryan covers the Sign of the Cross while Shannon stares at her hands. Our saint is Saint Gertrude, who came from a whole family of saints.

We are back with the bible stories this week, talking about Lenten fasting. We hear about why the rule of three works great in bible stories, figure out how to count to 40, and try and guess what counts as fish. Our saint is Saint Dominic of Silos, who stayed at the bedside of Spanish queens long after he was dead.

It’s the second of our two “Spot the Differences” episodes on Communion. This time we look at mainline Protestants and Evangelicals. Our saint (who isn’t actually a saint) is Blessed Columba, who once got kidnapped because she was so cool.

It’s time for another “Spot the Differences” episode! This time it’s all about Communion. In this episode we cover the Communion practices of Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Eastern Catholics, and Mormons. Our saint is Saint Martin de Porres, a really great guy we’re glad exists.

This week on Sunday School, we laugh through the stories of the Ark of the Covenant! In those stories we find flamethrowers, germ theory, and a really wild guy named Ron. Our saint is Saint Norbert who is probably missing some toes.

This week on Sunday School: Moses goes up and down a mountain over and over again, God plays interior designer, and the Israelites learn to be very afraid of clouds. Also Shannon counts a lot. Our saint is Saint Hildegard, a lady saint who did NOT die tragically young.

It's story time on Sunday School as Bryan recounts the Parable of The Good Samaritan. As always, Shannon wants more detail. Our saint is Saint Sebaldus, a weather-appropriate saint.
