Here are the opportunities for adults offered at 9:15 am on Sunday mornings:
Expanding Spiritual Practices in a Prophetic Age
This fall, Coffee & Conversation will explore spiritual practices for living out the Kingdom here and now—especially in a time of upheaval and change. Together, we’ll expand our understanding of practices such as unhurriedness, radical hospitality, downward mobility, and consider how they shape the way we move through the world. Coffee & Conversation meets at 9:15 a.m. in Miller Hall, our large upstairs meeting room.
Walking the Episcopal Way
Where did the Episcopal Church come from, and what do Episcopalians believe? Over four Sundays (September 6-27), “Walking the Episcopal Way” takes up both questions, along with the why behind them.
We’ll follow the church’s story from the first house gatherings in first-century Jerusalem, through the councils that gave us the creeds, the English Reformation and the first Book of Common Prayer, and across the Atlantic to the birth of the Episcopal Church after the American Revolution. From the first chaplain at Jamestown to the church you’ll walk into this Sunday, it’s a longer and more surprising story than most people expect.
We’ll also look closely at our faith itself: how Episcopalians read Scripture, why we worship the way we do, what happens in Baptism and the Holy Eucharist, and the many roles that make up the body of the church, from bishop to laity.
This is a class built for conversation. Bring your questions. If one comes up that stumps us, we’ll track down the answer together. Newcomers curious about this tradition and lifelong Episcopalians who’d like to know it more deeply are equally welcome. Walking the Episcopal Way meets in the YAC, our large downstairs meeting room, at 9:15 a.m.
