Who We Are
An open congregation -- faithful to its rich liturgical heritage
Our progressive Anglo-Catholic parish is deeply rooted in liturgical tradition. The Eucharist, celebrated with timeless words, incense and glorious music, binds us to God and to one another. Our spiritual community constantly seeks new ways to appreciate the depth of worship and liturgy and its power to transform lives.
Our Congregation consists of families and individuals; young and old; straight and gay; married, partnered and single. Our Congregation's racial and ethnic diversity makes our parish stand out in the Diocese of Washington, where most congregations are much more homogeneous.
Our diverse experience and heritage remind us to make no peace with oppression, but to see God's image in each other. We are committed to compassion and justice in our society.
Our Mission
We are enthusiastically in communion with the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.
No matter who you are or where you are in your spiritual journey, you are welcome here!
