Show Notes

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.
