Who We Are/Who I Am
We are Christian believers in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. We have been called to share in the life of Christ as His body on earth. We are not “over” or “against” any church. We are simply being part of God’s work in this area.
We are evangelical. We believe in salvation through the work of Jesus on the cross. We believe in the need for repentance, baptism, and forgiveness of sin.
We are Orthodox. There are some Orthodox Churches that have a particular nationality and tradition of culture and ethnicity. We do not. We are Orthodox in the sense of believing the earliest teachings of the Church. We believe the Bible is God’s word. We believe Jesus is God’s Word. In that sense we are apostolic. We trace our family tree and succession back to the original apostles. We state our faith in the Nicene Creed, a creed established by the Christian community in 375AD.
We are charismatic-a community of the Holy Spirit. We believe in God’s presence in our daily lives. We believe God works through us by His power and filling of the Holy Spirit. Just as God moved in the book of Acts in power and might, we believe God does that today. Therefore, we expect God to work. We expect God to speak. We expect Him to minister to us through His gifts and ministries. We are part of the community of saints.
We are catholic. We believe in the one universal Church founded on Peter’s statement about Jesus-“You are the Christ, the Messiah.” Our lives are sacramental. God lives within us both individually and as a group and is especially shown in seven “signs,” “symbols,” or occasions, i.e., baptism, confirmation, communion (Eucharist), marriage, anointing the sick, holy orders, and confession. We also believe our daily lives are sacramental.
We are autocephalous. That word simply means self-governing. God raises up authority within the Church. We respond. We seek guidance with others called by God. We respect an ecclesiastical hierarchy within a framework of bishops that provide spiritual guidance. Each local expression, whether in house, hamlet, or city, is a “home” where God is in the midst.
We are a “full ministry” of the early church-the “real thing.” We are liturgical. We celebrate and worship with all our senses. We often follow a form but are not bound by rigidity. As ordained priest, I am one of the members of the common body. I may wear a robe, sometimes not. We often kneel, stand, sit, sing, or pray. We hug, cry, laugh, and even become silent. Serving each other, we spread the good news that God loves us. We show God’s love to those around us.
We are unusual. We are like “new wine” and often break old bottles. Yet we can converse, share, and join hands and hearts with brothers who are not exactly the same for we are here to build bridges, not construct fences. We are here to lose ourselves, not to become great in name or build massive buildings. We are here for you.
Suggestion
The Book of Common Prayer is very useful for daily devotionals and evening prayers. If you follow the lectionary you will read thru the Bible in three years. PS You don't have to be Episcopal to use it!
