Why Episcopalian? 9 a.m. on Sundays in the Guild Room.Each Sunday is rooted in a section of the Prayer Book Catechism (BCP 843)—Human Nature, God the Father, and so on. But my hope is that we will also go deeper, creating a space that is safe enough for honest questions: questioning assumptions, received narratives, and even long-held misconceptions about God and church life.
I happen to believe that the truth of God revealed in Scripture can withstand human scrutiny. God is not fragile, and God does not need defending. So we will do our best to mine the depths of both the Bible and the Episcopal Church’s teaching. And hopefully we at St. Stephen’s will gain a clearer sense of how God, in Christ, through the Holy Spirit, is calling us to minister in this time and in this place.
This class will fulfill the requirement for any adult who seeks to be baptized, confirmed, or reaffirmed when BISHOP FISHER visits on MAY 31, 2026. Please speak with me if you’re interested in participating in one of these rites. (Reaffirmation is not a sacrament, but it is sacramental.)
HOW TO PREPARE FOR EACH SESSION?
Bringing your Book of Common Prayer (1979) if you have one, if not, we have plenty and a Bible (your preferred translation). Bring your questions. Your doubts. Your hopes. Your fears. Bring yourself. And be willing to listen—not only to me, but to your fellow members of the St. Stephen’s family.
Each class begins with a presentation, followed by discussion.
My hope is that this becomes holy space—where individual and congregational discernment can awaken.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
