Thin Places is a new podcast experiment from Zion Episcopal Church in Douglaston, Queens NY: it's a way for the Zion community to share the new ways we’re meeting God in this time of COVID-19—to tell each other about the “thin places” we’ve found. Places where God feels close, where we can feel the breath of the Holy Spirit passing over us, even if just for a moment in the midst of our uncertainty and stress, our frustrations and our griefs. Join us as we explore!

As you know, on this season of the podcast we’ve been sharing stories about thin places in time: stories of people who step across a threshold into a new chapter of their lives.
Today we’re talking about a threshold that Zion is crossing. For the last 2 years, the Zion leadership has been grappling with the difficult discovery that our founding families enslaved people. We’ve been asking what it means that the Zion community was founded with wealth created by the forced labor of enslaved people, and that those children of God have been left out of Zion’s history for almost 200 years.
Mo. Lindsay and Fr. Carl talk about how the shape of Zion's history looks different with enslavement in view, and how we might be called to tell a different story about ourselves going forward—a story that centers Jesus and his call to join him in realizing the Kingdom of God.
