  • Congregation Emerging from the Ashes, Part II: Saint Mark's Episcopal Church
    Feb 26 2026

    On this episode, Rabbi Joshua has an in-depth conversation with Rector Carrie Grindon of Saint Mark's Episcopal Church in Altadena. Pastor Grindon shares her experience with the Eaton Fire, learning about the burning of the church and homes of her parishioners, as well as the saving of a church bell from the rubble. And like the Altadena Baptist Church and Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center, she discusses their plans to rebuild on their land.

    And like the previous episode, this one is a bit longer than usual. But worth it!

  • 2026 - 1 Destroyed Houses of Worship Emerge from the Fire: Conversation with 3 Local Clergy
    Jan 24 2026

    On this special episode, Rabbi Joshua has in-depth conversation with three local clergy, all of whose houses of worship burned in the Eaton Fire: Pastor Connie DeVaughn of Altadena Baptist Church, and Rabbi Josh Ratner and Cantor Ruth Berman Harris of the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center. This was an emotional, spiritual and moving conversation, which moves from the moments of the fire to the months since, and now towards the light of new beginnings, as each congregation has plans to rebuild on their property.
