Why did we pick the name Church of the Incarnation?

On Sunday, October 13, during the Sunday School hour, we began a three-part discussion on the name of the church. This three-fold explanation is a part of the fall series on the identity and mission of Church of the Incarnation. If you missed the first session on the church’s name, you can listen to it here. (If you missed the session on September 29 about what it means that we are Anglican, click here to listen.)
 
We grow to understand things in two ways—through experience and explanation. I am using the Sunday School hour this fall to talk about the identity and mission of Incarnation, so that our experience of the church would be complemented by an explanation of who we are and what we value.
 
My hope in this is simple: When we understand something well, we value it. When we value it, we participate in it more deeply and share it with others. Incarnation has been a gift, by God’s grace, to each of us. I would love for the people of the church to understand more clearly who we are and what we are about so that we are all able to rejoice more deeply in what God is doing and to share it more freely with others.
 
If possible, take some time to listen to the sessions you missed before coming to Sunday School this week (Oct. 27). We will continue the discussion about what our name means and why it was picked.  As usual, Sunday School and childcare will be available for all ages.
