ADULT FORUM
Episcopal Beliefs and Practices
Wednesdays 8pm from
May 8 - June 5
Welcome to Episcopal Beliefs and Practices! This forum has three goals. The primary goal is to examine and investigate Christianity in the context of the Episcopal Church and our own spiritual journey. A further hope is to give you the tools to deepen your participation in the common life of St. Bede's. Finally, if you are interested, this class should help you make an informed decision about baptism, confirmation or reception into the Episcopal Church.
Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs and Practices, by Scott Gunn and Melody Wilson Shone
While the class will loosely cover the book, it will serve as a conversation partner for your participation in the discussion.
Please read the book at your own pace, or zoom in on the topics that interest you the most.
