Practicing Our Faith walks, step by step, through the prayer book. Each week, participants gather to hear a short lecture on one section of The Book of Common Prayer, exploring what each liturgy says and how it is typically used in our communities. Then the class explores together the connections between the words of our prayers, beliefs and the daily practice of faith, exploring questions such as: What does the burial liturgy have to teach us about what Episcopalians believe about death? Or How does the Daily Office teach us to integrate prayer into our daily lives? FREE Downloadable Course: Adult/Youth #2482 FREE Practiquemos nuestra fe Spanish (Adult/Youth) #2522 Coming Soon!
