Outward signs

Put aside for the moment the nature of the liturgy and the music, and whether you find the people who attend a certain parish friendly. What are the unspoken (and possibly unintentional) ways in which a congregation communicates with you on a Sunday morning?

Psalm 25

Speaking to the Soul

Compassion and love. These are our highest aspirations and values. Compassion and love — the antidote to fear, greed and power

Two C of E bishops worry that Covenant debate is rigged

6 Comments / The Lead

Whichever side of the argument you are on there are grounds for real concern about the way the debate about it is progressing. It cannot be good to learn, as we do, that many bishops who are against the Anglican Covenant don’t want to say for fear of seeming disloyal, that diocesan synods are “debating” the issue without hearing both sides of the argument equally presented…

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition.  The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity.  Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.

The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.
