What’s New in Episcopal Churches? April 23, 2023

On Sunday April 23, Donald Romanik, President of the Episcopal Church Foundation and member of Trinity Church, will share his observations about what has been happening in other parishes across the country as they have negotiated the shifting landscape of our nation and our Church.

  • What have other churches given up in order to remain viable during the unprecedented national COVID lockdown?
  • What new practices are parishes engaging in to remain vital?
  • What can Trinity Church learn from the experiences of these other parishes?

The Adult Christian Formation team invites you to come to the Library following the 10 o’clock Eucharist on Sunday, April 23 to hear how other parishes in other places are living into the faith that we share. Please join us!
Updates
 
 
 On April 23 and May 7 we will experience the stories of “KNOWING JESUS IN A NEW WAY”.
 
I wonder if there is anything in this room that you can bring and put beside these pictures to help us tell more about this part of the story?
 
Only YOU know what you are going to get. YOU are the only one in the world who knows that. 
 
If YOU don’t feel like getting something, YOU are still part of what we make.

The Morality of Taxes:
A Jewish-Christian Social Ethic
 
The deadline for filing our tax returns for the year 2022 is now behind us. But it is not too early to think about what our Jewish-Christian social ethic has to say about the morality - even the ethical imperative - to put taxation in its proper social context. We will set the stage for a robust discussion of what would be a fair and effective tax system in a social democratic republic such as our nation claims to be. 
 
The Adult Christian Formation team invites you to come to the Library following the 10 AM Eucharist on Sunday, May 7 to explore the issue of taxation with Frank Kirkpatrick.
 
Get a cup of coffee and a snack and join us!
