Listen in as host Eileen Campbell-Reed interviews scholar, artist, and liturgist Rev. Dr. Cláudio Carvalhaes. In 2023 Cláudio produced and played the main character in his very first play. In this conversation, we hear about Cláudio’s creative process in putting the musical play together. Cláudio is from Brazil, and he drew on his childhood stories, music, and relationships as this new form of performance took shape. The idea of a play came to him as he considered how to talk with his students about climate change. His goal is to help his students, and all of us, consider the climate emergency from a new point of view.

Listen in as host Eileen Campbell-Reed shares her experience of unearthing treasure while she cleaned out her parents’ house in the spring and summer of 2024. Like so many of us, Eileen’s family held onto lots of things. Sifting through these things brings a wide range of emotions to the surface. We might ask what do these feelings and digging through history teach us about the practice of ministry? In this episode, Eileen suggests three possible treasures for us to consider.

Remembering her ordination is necessarily tied up with stories, Eileen Campbell-Reed tells us. It means tending to the legacies of love that nurtured a calling, and being intentional about the ways we might carry out that legacy in these impossible times. 

Have a listen to this story of ordination, and consider what following a calling means. This story of celebration and remembrance is also a day of celebration for the thousands of women ordained to ministry. It is also a lament for the thousands who might be called and yet do not (or will not) know the blessing of ordination because their denomination or their church does not recognize their gifts and calling. Many occasions for vocational loss, and grief.

Even when all the best circumstances and context and the Spirit come together for an ordination, we are still living in what feel like impossible times to serve God, the church, and a beautiful and broken world. Take courage friends. The world needs your gifts. Now more than ever.

To encourage you, take a look at this blessing, Ordination for Impossible Times. Download a copy for yourself or a ministry friend: 3mmm.us/episode233
