Anglican: Biblical and Historic Roots and the Anglican Way of Doing Life Together in Christ

A new course beginning September 10th thru October 29th

Our Anglican Communion is the third largest Christian body worldwide, tracing its roots back through the Reformation to the New Testament Apostolic Church. 

This Fall St. Luke’s is offering a course to learn about and/or refresh our understanding of things Anglican: the history, heritage, and Anglican way of being Christ’s Church. This course is being offered by Fr. John Wagner following worship. It will be a refresher course for long-time members, as well as informative teaching for newcomers to St. Luke’s, and preparation for those becoming confirmed members of our Church. And there will be an opportunity to ask your questions for all. 

After coffee and a bite to eat in the Café, we’ll meet in the sanctuary for 90 minutes of teaching, conversation, and answering questions. 

The course will include such topics as basics of denominational differences and Church history, Anglican heritage and history, worship and faith (the Book of Common prayer, liturgy, Creeds, Catechism, etc.), Anglican structure, polity and ministers of the Church, the authority of Scripture and the infilling of the Holy Spirit, and the history and renewal of and mission at St. Luke’s. 

Everyone is very much welcome to come and see. There’ll be handouts and other resources, so it would be helpful to let us know in advance of your interest in joining us.
