With God’s help, we continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship; in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers. We persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever we fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord. We proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ. We seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves, and we strive for justice and peace among all people, respecting the dignity of every human being. – from the Baptismal Covenant (BCP, pg. 403)
Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As constituent members of the Anglican Communion in the United States, we are descendants of and partners with the Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church, and are part of the third largest group of Christians in the world. We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ. We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God, and can be expressed by all people in our church. We believe that God loves you – no exceptions. https://www.episcopalchurch.org/what-we-believe/ |
