In the Anglican tradition, authority rests on a 3-legged stool: Scripture, Tradition and Reason. You’ll find our services rich in Scripture, and our liturgy follows ancient Tradition. And you’ll find we’re comfortable with Reason; we believe human beings are endowed with intuition and wisdom; we believe in finding the “middle way” and we tolerate different points of view.

Come think with us! Our Summer Civics Series begins next Sunday. We hope you’ll join us.

Since 2009, Frances Perkins has been
honored in the Episcopal liturgical calendar with a Feast Day on May 13th, recognizing her lifetime of good deeds and steady faith as a Public Servant and Prophetic Witness.

"One function of saints is to make us uncomfortable, to challenge us, and at the same time to give us hope. Recent saints, those still within the living memory of our contemporaries, do this in a special sense. While saints from centuries past who lived in exotic places sometimes seem distant to us, it is harder to dismiss a 20th-century saint who walked the streets of New York and Washington and loved the wilds of Maine. In the face of our nation’s contemporary economic and political shortcomings and our sometimes dim faith and languid prayer, blessed Frances Perkins appears, both to unsettle and to encourage."

- The Saint Behind the New Deal, by Rev. Charles Hoffacker, Board Member Feast Day of Francis Perkins!
