ABOUT THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN GENERAL

Worship that brings you in, instead of putting you on the sidelines

A theology that demands our intelligence rather than ignoring it.

A willingness not only to tolerate but to celebrate  differences.

 

A heritage that takes the Bible very seriously but is not bound by literalism.

 

A strong sense of community in which our consensus is in Christ, not to a  conformity of opinion.

 

A devotion to the Biblical Sacraments instituted by Jesus which evoke awe  and  mystery instead of  factual explanation.

 

A sense of ministry that is rightfully the obligation and privilege of every  baptized person.

 

An insistence upon morality (what is good and loving) and an avoidance of moralism (salvation by code and not by Christ).

 

The heritage of apostolic faith in the Gospel of Jesus  Christ and in the apostolic order given to the Church by Him.
