This week’s podcast, will hopefully serve to prepare you for our upcoming Worship Service and Congregational Meeting on February 13 @ 10:45am and provide a fuller background on our history surrounding LGBTQ+ inclusion at Seeds. Our regular hosts Darlene and Ted our joined by special guest t Joan Funk, who served on the Seeds Leadership for over a decade, and was willing to share some of her own personal journey with this important process of moving towards full inclusion. The Seeds Leadership Proposal – – A Proposal of Intent for Seeds Church to become a Formally Affirming/Inclusive Church. 

On today’s podcast Darlene and Ted are joined by pastor, activist and author Melissa Florer-Bixler to explore her new book How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger & The Work of Peace. Melissa is the pastor of Raleigh Mennonite Church, and a graduate of Duke University and Princeton Theological Seminary. She spent times studying in Israel/Palestine, Kenya, and England. Much of her formation took place in the L’Arche community of Portland, OR. Now she prefers the Eno River and her garden in Raleigh, NC. She is the chair of L’Arche North Carolina and a steering committee member in broad-based organizing in her county. Melissa’s writing has appeared in Christian Century, Sojourners, Geez, Anabaptist Witness, The Bias, Faith&Leadership, and Anabaptist Vision. From time to time she publishes academic writing. She and her spouse parent three children. Corrections: A couple of items from the podcast that need to be corrected. * Ted made an allusion to a Forrest Gump quote when he said “Mennonite is as Mennonite does” but his Gen Xer mind mistakenly referred to Ferris Bueller. If you were confused, clearly Ted was as well.* Again Ted, interrupted Melissa when she mentioned 501c’s and tried to clarify what the USAmerican concept meant. Mistakenly he talked about RRSP’s for the Canadian context, which was incorrect. A 501c in the US refers to the tax exempt status of religious organizations, what we would refer to as non-profit status in Canada.

On today’s episode of Define the Relationship Podcast, Ted and Darlene are joined by Erin Funk Wieler. Erin is responsible for giving direction to how we integrated children into the life of Seeds and how we are working to support parents in raising their children. Listen right to the end to get a short blooper event.
