An interview with previous YASC'ers. The Young Adult Service Corps 

The Young Adult Service Corps brings young adults into the life of the worldwide Anglican Communion and into the daily work of a local community.  At the same time, it brings the gifts and resources of the church into the lives of young adults as they explore their own faith journeys.

Do you have the Blue Book Blues? Not a clue what the blue book is? Wondering how the General Convention of the Episcopal Church works? The Priest Pulse media coverage of the 78th General Convention begins with this pre-Convention prep episode featuring Sr. Elizabeth Marguerite, chair of the deputation from the Diocese of Michigan. Be sure to check out Part 2 featuring the Revs. Scott Gunn, Matt Marino, and Keith Voets along with Fr. Ben and Fr. Colin.

In this very special documentary, Fr. Ben follows the story of Anamchara Fellowship, a new monastic order in the Episcopal Church. The Anamchara Fellowship is a religious order in the tradition of celtic spirituality. This documentary brings listeners into the Annual Gathering of this order, listens in on their rituals, hears their music, and gets to know its members.

This is the entire documentary in one file.
