Why We Do What We Do: The Episcopal Church Explained
Tuesday Evenings at 7:00pm in the Guild Room or via Zoom

September 22, 29, & October 6


Why do Episcopal churches have altars, candles, vestments, stained glass, processions, and sometimes incense? Why do we stand for the Gospel, kneel for prayer, bow at certain moments, and make the sign of the cross? Why does the priest wear different colors? Why do we call our principal Sunday service the Eucharist? And what exactly makes the

Episcopal Church different from other Christian traditions?

Over three weeks, participants will take a guided tour through Episcopal worship and discover the history and theology hiding in plain sight every Sunday morning.

This course is not intended to teach the “correct” way to behave in church. One of the beauties of Anglicanism is that many devotional practices are invitations rather than requirements. The goal is to answer a wonderfully simple question: Why do we do that?
