The Journey from Baptismal Vow to Everyday Practice
At baptism, all Episcopalians promise to seek and serve Christ in all persons, respecting the dignity of every human being. This year Region III takes a look at how the Church is doing in its work of eliminating racism and encouraging a cultural diversity that recognizes, celebrates and incorporates the diverse and enriching gifts of all races and cultures. We’ll explore the Church’s historical, biblical and tradition mandates for seeing the face of God in each other; how issues of race, ethnicity and inclusion impact the Church and its members; our current challenges and opportunities; and what faithful actions we can take to transform ourselves, the Church and the communities in which we serve.
Each offering at an Arlington church includes a soup and salad supper at 6:30 pm, the presentation with follow up questions beginning at 7:15 pm, and concluding worship at 8:15 pm. Nursery care is provided.
