At St. Paul’s, we value and believe in divine love and caring for each other and the world as taught, practiced, and meditated upon in the Bible and by like faiths and great teachers throughout the ages.

The story of our faith is in part told in the practice of mass — our liturgy. As an Episcopal parish in the World Wide Anglican Communion, we value holding strong to our roots as Christians, and our liturgy as Anglicans. Participating in the mass, you will see those traditions throughout in the form of songs and prayers, the sanctity of the body and blood of Christ, and in many other ways throughout the procession of each service — but also in our study, and lives in general — it is the story of the ultimate passion and love, of Jesus Christ.

Seeing that there is also much truth to be found in many avenues both within and outside the Anglican tradition, here at St. Paul’s, you will find that we also value and incorporate many other diverse traditions into our communion, study, and practice.

Ancient Celtic

Ancient Celtic traditions and beliefs have highly influenced Anglican traditions and faith; the studying and meditation upon them is also the context for many classes and workshops to help newcomers and the seasoned to understand the historical context and background of our worship today.

Greek Orthodox

Also in the tapestry of our worship are found many Greek Orthodox traditions, which many and which you, may find helpful, also, in your faith path. Out of this tradition, particularly, is the adoration and prayer by way of icons of faith, such as unto Mary the mother of Christ, and to other venerable saints.

Other faith traditions

In the path to finding even greater peace in this world, many spiritual practices of India are incorporated into our study and worship – especially in the form of Christian Meditation and in the study of great teachers from that part of the world.

Further, you may also find woven into our services African chats and into classes the study of other great leaders of faith and, also, of social justice.

In our complex world, the breadth and depth of our worship here is certainly a reflection of our age, the search for and then living the ultimate in divine love, hospitality, and care in all of it’s facets and hues.
