A Conversation with Canon Myra Garnes at Rooted in Jesus

When the pandemic started, we paused on the episodes we recorded during last year's Rooted in Jesus Conference. As we approach Forma 2021, we thought it was time to pull these out of the folder and get them to the people. Though some contexts will have certainly changed, there is still much to learn from these conversations with incredible leaders across the Episcopal Church. In this episode recorded during the Rooted in Jesus Conference in January 2020, we sat down with Canon Myra Garnes of the Diocese of Long Island. She serves as the Canon for Young and Young Adult Ministries. Myra and our hosts talk justice movements, giving young people their space to discover their own passion and call to service, leadership, and giving yourself grace. About Canon Myra: Myra B.
