In this episode we take a trip to the places where Gunsmoke takes place to talk about rural life in West Kansas. Rev. Shay Craig is a delight to talk to. She is full of stories, ideas, and potential hope for the church. I particularly enjoy the conversations about cowboy boots, being a church about hope and love, and thinking about rural stewardship that works. This is a long episode, but it's worth every second.
Shay Craig is an Episcopal Priest and vicar of two small churches in Hays, Kansas. Though she spent her first 50 years in San Francisco and Chicago, since moving to Western Kansas, she has become a fierce advocate for raising awareness of and love for rural ministry in the Episcopal Church ... because there is no "flyover" in the Kingdom.
