While we are no longer producing new Tent Talks episodes every now and then we will take the opportunity to point listeners to new projects. Tent producer and co-host Chris Marchand has just begun releasing a new podcast we wanted you to be aware of: Wall of Silence. Here is the description: In this first episode we introduce the sexual abuse case of lay pastor Mark Rivera. From there we begin to look outward to see how church leadership responded to it, from the local diocese to the national denomination, the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). As "the thesis," this episode is the explanation for why this podcast exists and whose story we are telling: the advocacy group ⁠ACNAtoo⁠ and all victims, whistleblowers, and advocates against church abuse in the ACNA.

You can find the Wall of Silence wherever you listen to podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wall-of-silence

Chris has also set up a Patreon account for those who want to support the podcast in that way: https://www.patreon.com/WallofSilencePodcast

Left, Right, or in the middle? Guest host and previous guest to the Tent Sheyi Martin-Allens presents a series of conversations with black and brown friends from across the political spectrum to discuss their thoughts on having Britain's first Asian prime minister along with a government containing an increasing amount of ethnic minorities. The series works through a number of conflicting questions, such as does having someone with the same skin color as us in positions of power mean we feel represented and do people with the same skin color or ethnic heritage need to hold to the same political views? Episode 3 is the first part of conversations with those who are navigating the tricky Middle: Claudine and Kuda.

You can find out more about Sheyi's work as a singer, podcaster, and educator here and here.
