Men's Bible Study with Father Malloy
| |
|
Wednesdays
Common prayer is what binds Episcopalians together. Our liturgy -- the texts and the actions in the Book of Common Prayer -- encapsulates what we believe about God, the created order, and humanity. In particular, it encapsulates who we understand Jesus to be, the relationship with God that Baptism into his Body has given us, and the life to which it invites us. Our common prayer is not the Book of Common Prayer. The Prayer Book gives us the words and the actions we use in our common prayer, and that shared event is what holds us together. Still, the Book and the actions cannot be separated. We will spend four weeks looking at the process by which the first editions of the BCP emerged, the theological assumptions upon which it was built, and how the Church's theology and the Prayer Book have evolved (and continue to evolve) together. Join Father Malloy on Wednesdays at 8:15 am in the Parish House Meeting Room.
