| The Ordinary Catholic Duties Churchmen need a clear knowledge of the fundamental rules of discipline which are part of the Catholic heritage of the Episcopal Church, and these are to be found in a simple summary which, in contrast to the Ten Commandments of God, are known as: |
We are Christian in that we believe in Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as the only way
to the Father and thus to eternal salvation. We are Catholic because our orders stand in
Apostolic Succession and because we believe in the creedal statements of the Church
and in the real power of the Holy Spirit expressed through the Sacraments. We realize
that in the Sacrifice of God through His Son we do not have to be perfect to be accepted
by Him into His Kingdom, we only have to do the best we can, and then, if we fall into sin,
be repentant to God of that sin and we are forgiven.
Because of His great love shown to us in His Sacrifice on the Cross we are JOYOUS
Christians, and meet regularly to worship and praise Him through Word and Holy
Sacraments. And we would LOVE to have you join us.
God bless you, and we would love to see you in church !
