Newcomers’ Classes
Meet The Episcopal Branch of the Jesus Movement or Crazy Christians
Our Presiding Bishop Michael Curry calls the Episcopal Church the Episcopal Branch of the
Jesus Movement and has a fabulous sermon (and book) about Crazy Christians.
Beginning February 2 and continuing for 4 Thursdays, we will discuss being “crazy Christians”.
Meet at 5:30pm in the Gathering Place.
If you wonder:
¨ What Episcopalians believe and why ?
¨ Why we worship in the way that we do ?
¨ What it means to be a thinking Christian ?
¨ How we read the Bible?
¨ How does what we say on Sunday connect to daily life?
¨ What it means to take scripture seriously but not literally?
¨ How to talk about God in a Post-Modern world?
This program is for YOU.
This Thursday Evening series is also for people who are considering joining the Episcopal Church:
¨ by baptism,
¨ confirmation (mature reaffirmation of baptismal promises),
¨ reception (joining the Episcopal Church after confirmation by a bishop in another tradition OR adult baptism)
¨ Reaffirmation of Faith (you were baptized and confirmed because someone expected it of you but now you want to say “YES” to God in Christ in the Episcopal Tradition, at a new stage of your faith journey
