Then I did a reverse lectionary search to find out when the Episcopal Church reads part or all of Genesis 38 and (crickets chirping) … ooops. Nada. This is one of those never to be read aloud in church stories [at least as the lectionary is presently set up; it might change over the decades). Therefore, I am called to read it silently. You can read along here: Genesis 38.
