In this episode of Curry Café, hosts Ray Gary and Rick McNamer talk with Fr. Bernie Lindley, Vicar of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Brookings, and retired minister and educator Pastor Robert O’Sullivan about white Christian nationalism, religious liberty, and the Feast of the Epiphany. They examine the historical role of religion in America’s founding, contrasting its inclusive principles with the divisive nature of Christian nationalism. The conversation highlights St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church’s impactful community work, including feeding over 14,000 meals annually, aiding the homeless, providing legal assistance, and supporting vulnerable populations like seniors and those in extreme poverty. Rooted in Christian teachings, the church’s outreach focuses on fostering dignity, second chances, and addressing systemic challenges like homelessness and inequality while promoting the values of compassion and true inclusivity.
