Welcome to the Episcopal Church!
The Episcopal Church strives to live by the message of Christ, in which there are no outcasts and all are welcome. Walking a middle way between an infallible church and and an infallible Bible, we are a sacramental and worship-oriented church that promotes thoughtful debate about what God is calling us to do and be, as followers of Christ.
This message of welcome is from the Episcopal Church's Visitors' Center. There is much to learn there, so please visit there to discover more about who we are: http://www.episcopalchurch.
IT CAN BE A LITTLE INTIMIDATING walking into a church for the first time. Or maybe it's just been a long time (like 30 years ago when your mom dragged you to Sunday School). A lot has changed since then. The songs are singable, the sermon understandable, and you don't need to come in a suit. (By the way, we'd love to see you this Sunday.)
Anglicans Online has collected a vast array of information that may help shed some light on aspects of the 80-million member, worldwide Anglican Communion. They hope you'll find the material interesting, entertaining, even challenging because Episcopalians believe that Jesus Christ came to take away your sins, not your mind. anglicansonline.org/basics/index.html
