DeLuca, publisher of Reckoning and erstwhile podcast host, back to introduce a story I've had the privilege to narrate for you, "The Pelican in its Piety" by S.L. Harris, which appeared in Reckoning 9. This recording was produced by Reckoning's audio editor, Aaron Kling, who'll be back hosting for the next episode. This story is a particularly important one for me in the way it addresses the ethical impacts of certain patterns of authority in American Christianity and Catholicism in particular, which were instrumental in making me into the environmental justice activist I am. I read it and feel seen. Maybe you will too? I should prepare you: this piece leans further into the horrific than most Reckoning fare. Kids and animals in jeopardy. I hope you get as much out of it as I did. The Pelican in its Piety
