Who are we and why do we exist?

On September 25, we began a four-session Sunday School class on the identity and mission of Church of the Incarnation. We are addressing this topic because it felt like it was the right time (in our growth) for a clear and simple explanation of the church. My hope is that we would all walk away with a deeper understanding of who we are and what we are called to do, more excitement about those things, and a greater ability to share it with others. The whole conversation revolves around two words—Anglican and Incarnation.
 
If you missed the session on September 25, take 30 minutes to listen to it here. This explanation is important for all of us, so that we will be on the same page in our understanding of the church and have a deeper appreciation of who we are and what we are doing. We discussed both what it means that we are Anglican and why we are committed to this way of being Christian. My hope is that this recording will be helpful for you! Feel free to share it with others who might be interested in learning more about the church.
 
(The audio also includes the question-and-answer time, but the core presentation ends after about 30 minutes. The recording of the question-and-answer time is a bit hampered by the fact that I didn’t repeat the questions, and so you will have to guess at what people were asking based on my answers…)
 
Beginning this Sunday (Oct. 13), we will start talking about what it means that we are “Incarnation.” Over the next three sessions, we will be talking about Incarnation from three different angles. Don’t miss any of them, if you can help it! We will continue to distribute the audio, but the live session is better, because the question-and-answer time is a great moment to wrestle with the ideas presented, and it doesn’t always come out clearly in the audio.
