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. So, come find your welcome to the Episcopal Church at ECR.

As Episcopalians, we experience God's love with one another, as God shapes us to be who we are. We walk our talk by living out as best we can the compassionate and sacrificial love that God personifies in Jesus Christ. Together, we engage the Scriptures, which point to God, and gather to share the bread and wine of Holy Communion, which brings God near and present in a special way. We are a community of faith, each figuring out our journey in unique and personal ways. The Episcopal Church of the Resurrection is part of the Austin Convocation within the Diocese of Texas. The Diocese of Texas is part of the Episcopal Church of the USA which is affiliated with the Greater Anglican Communion world wide. Come make yourself a part of God's Church here ECR.
