SESSION 6: PRACTICES OF FAITH:
SYMBOLISM IN LITURGY

Sunday, October 2, 2011

Presented by Fr. Tom Honderich and Mark Gastineau

Worship in the Episcopal Church is rich in symbolism that manifests both in visual images and in liturgical action. We will explain our liturgy and major symbols, and how they connect to life and experience.

7 WAYS OF TOUCHING GOD

Sunday, October 23, 2011

Presented by Fr. Tom Honderich and The Rev. Amy Bailey

Two major sacraments, Eucharist and Baptism, are celebrated with regularity and solemnity. What does that mean? What is all the “hocus pocus” about? What is “real presence?” How and why is it significant?

SESSION 8: PRACTICES OF FAITH:
THE POWER OF PERSONAL PRAYER 
AND HEALING
Sunday, November 13, 2011

Presented by The Rev. Canon Tanya Vonnegut Beck and Fr. Gordon Chastain

For some, prayer is about speaking with God; for others, prayer begins in stillness. How can we broaden our understanding and practice of prayer and enrich our communion with God?


SESSION 9: PRACTICES OF FAITH:
THE MINISTRIES OF THE CHURCH
Sunday, November 20, 2011

Presented by Fr. Dan Billman and 
The Rev. Karen Sullivan

The Church functions as a haven for the broken, a source of empowerment in the community, addresses issues of human rights and justice, and supports us in times of desperation and celebration.


SESSION 10: THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION

Sunday, January 8, 2012

Presented by The Right Rev. Cate Waynick

How did the Episcopal Church come to be a part of the Anglican Communion, and what is our relationship to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the 70 million Anglicans worldwide today?


SESSION 11: ANGLICAN POLITY

Sunday, January 22, 2012

Presented by The Very Rev. Gray Lesesne 
and Brendan O’Sullivan-Hale

The national Episcopal Church is currently at odds with Canterbury, over the consecration of both gay and lesbian bishops and female bishops. What are the politics and how does the Episcopal Church differ in its polity from the rest of the Anglican Communion?


SESSION 12: THE HISTORY OF ALL SAINTS

Sunday, February 12, 2012

Presented by Fr. Gordon Chastain

We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of our building this year and soon our 150th anniversary as a parish. Our history is checkered, cheeky, and often amusing. Knowing who we are helps us to understand why we do what we do and what we can be in the world in this new century.
