We are a motley crew here at St. Mary’s. A majority of us were raised in the Roman Catholic Church. Some of us are cradle Episcopalians, and then the rest of us are from a varied spectrum of the mainline church. Some of us having been worshipping at St. Mary’s for a long time and some, not that long.
Over the course of 4 classes spread out between December and January, I am offering a kind of an advanced inquirers class titled, “The Episcopal Way”. While this will be a class of particular interest to those who wish to be received or confirmed in the Episcopal Church at Bishop Lucinda’s next visitation in February, I want to invite the entire parish to attend to understand the essence of Anglicanism.
I will be covering a swath of areas important to our church’s origins, history, the place of the book of common prayer in our worship, our liturgy and sacraments, the liturgical colors, the sacraments.
For some of us, the class would be a refresher, for others an introduction to the nature of our worship style and perhaps a fresh look at the history of Anglican/Episcopal church.
The dates planned are December 6, 13 and January 3, 10.
I look forward to seeing you in class!
