Praying the Prayer Book
Wednesdays, 6:15 p.m.
Crail C

This class will meet every Wednesday at 6:15 p.m., Aug. 19-Sept. 30, with a scheduled break on Wednesday, Sept. 23.

Have you ever wondered how to use the Book of Common Prayer on your own? It’s not just for Sunday mornings to look pretty in the pew racks! In this class, you will learn how to use the prayer book during the week to pray the Daily Office, look up the collects or readings for the day, and overcome any generalized prayerbook anxiety. This series is a great way to grow more comfortable and familiar with an incredible resource that is foundational to our Episcopal identity. This series will be led by several advanced MDiv students from the nearby Seminary of the Southwest.

Via Media: Understanding Anglicanism
Sundays, 10 a.m.
Crail C

This class will meet every Sunday at 10 a.m., Aug. 30-Sept. 20.

Anglicanism is often described as a middle way, a via media between many different Christian traditions. We are Protestant, and yet affirm the catholic faith in the Creeds. Our Prayer Book was influenced by the faith of Luther and the faith of Calvin. Some Episcopalians identify as evangelical, some as AngloCatholics, some as liberals, and some as conservatives. Come learn how our tradition walks the tightrope between competing traditions to create a unique, nourishing, and comprehensive way of being a Christian with room for all within the guard rails of Anglican theology and tradition. This series will be taught by a combination of St. David's clergy and faculty from nearby universities and seminaries.
