Three Sessions on The Episcopal Church & Anglican Way of Being Christian

Wednesdays, April 29, May 6, May 13  |  5:30 – 6:30PM  |  Youth Room

The Episcopal Church, a member of the Anglican Communion, is part of one of the great Christian traditions. It is rooted in Scripture and the Sacraments, and shaped by centuries of common prayer. This series, led by the clergy of St. Mark’s, introduces that tradition to anyone new to St. Mark’s, curious about what Episcopalians believe and practice, or interested in Confirmation or Reception.

The Bible in The Episcopal Church (April 29)
Scripture is at the center of our worship and theology. This session explores how the biblical canon came to be, what it means to call these writings the Word of God, and how Episcopalians read Scripture alongside reason and the church’s living tradition.

Baptism and Eucharist: The Sacramental Life of the Church (May 6)
The two great sacraments are the foundation of the church’s life. This session traces Baptism and Eucharist from their origins in the ancient church to their place in Episcopal worship today, and explores what it means to gather around the altar as the body of Christ.

Episcopal Identity and History: Who We Are and Where We Came From (May 13)
The Anglican tradition emerged from the English Reformation and, through it, from the ancient church. This session traces that history to The Episcopal Church in America, examines how this church governs itself, and reflects on what it means to be part of a worldwide communion.
