1. Do The Thing. In this episode, we discuss liturgy. What is the difference between a sacramental rite and a sacrificial rite? Why are' member berries' so juicy and delicious? Can a priest or the church affect God's actions? Can a church integrate non-Christian rites into its worship?
  2. Street-Fighting Man. In this episode, we continue our discussion of the question of when it is permissible for Christians to oppose civil authority.
