Season 5 Episode 06: Weather Underground & Earth Liberation Front

Nerds At Church

Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) to dive into our Villain Era! We’ve got the Weather Underground and the Earth Liberation Front, Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze, and Adam and Eve for our 6th episode in our Nerds At Church Superhero Spectacular Season!

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here. The biblical heroes, Adam and Eve, come up in the lectionary for Proper 5 or Lectionary 10, which was the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost in 2024. Birds of Prey is the show that Emily was trying to think of that is set in New Gotham City. They also discussed the ecoterrorism attack at Two Elk in Vail, CO in 1998, and we have two articles from the local paper to share with you on what happened there. For environmental heroes, check out The Sunrise Movement!
