Episode 61: Pete Nunnally - Water and Wilderness Church, Episcopal Diocese of Washington (DC)

Rev. Pete Nunnally joins Triple S to talk about his new book that launches on May 8th: Catching Hope: The Hidden Spiritual Wisdom of Fishing. We also spend some time learning about Water and Wilderness Church, a spiritual community that is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. 

Episode 60 - Rev. Gideon Pollach, St John’s Episcopal Church, Cold Spring Harbor, NY

Co-host, Brian Sellers-Petersen and occasional guest co-host, Derrick Weston, welcome Gideon Pollach, from St John’s Episcopal Church in Cold Stream Harbor, NY. Our conversation centers around a pond, church, and BlueGreen Theology. 

BlueGreen Theology is not a theology illustrated by nature. It is a theology that could only have been learned from a specific place. Over nearly a decade of standing beside St. John's Pond — through sermons and restoration projects, through broken weirs and bishop searches, through illness and children and the full weight of a life — a coherent framework has emerged.

Muamba Chicken Recipe

• 3-3 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup palm oil
• 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2–3 onions, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 whole hot pepper (such as Scotch Bonnet)
• 1 lb butternut squash cubes
• 18–20 okra, cut into 1-inch lengths
• 2 cups chicken broth (plus more if needed)
• Salt and pepper

1. Place chicken in a large bowl, add the lemon juice and next six ingredients, toss well to coat.
2. Heat palm and canola oils in a large skillet or dutch oven. Add the chicken and saute on both sides until browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Add onions to the pan and saute until translucent. Add tomatoes, garlic, white pepper, smoked paprika and whole hot pepper, stirring until well combined.
4. Return chicken to the pan, add butternut squash, okra, and chicken broth (adding more if necessary, it should cover the chicken) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve over rice.
