The Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic invites you to the annual pre-synod workshop. This year’s program is Healthy Clergy and Church Leadership: Cultivating congregational health as clergy & lay leaders, featuring Dr. Diane Langberg & The Rev. Tuck Bartholomew. Held at The Falls Church Anglican.

New Wineskins for Global Mission conferences occur every three years. This conference is more than a global missions training conference. It has become a family reunion for mission-minded Anglicans from all over the world.

On August 28, the Diocese hosted an online training event for church treasurers, as well as vestry members, administrators, clergy, or finance committee members. This training included topics such as: “Top 10 things I wish someone had told me”” and “common financial pitfalls.” The recording of the training and all of the resources are available on the diocesan website.

In recent weeks, as we have read the news from Afghanistan, our hearts are troubled. As our military mission there has ended, so many Afghan refugees are arriving here – and the DC/Maryland/Virginia area is a major focus for their immediate resettlement. In short, we have a missional opportunity to show the love of Christ to these Afghan families, our new neighbors, welcoming the stranger (Matt. 25:39) and showing true hospitality to those in need. We have an unprecedented opportunity work in unity with area churches to meet these needs.

The Christian Faith is exceedingly beautiful, expansive, and compelling. Sometimes, though, its beauty gets obscured or dulled in our minds and hearts. "Essential Christianity" is a 9-week, online course taught by Rev. Bill Haley meant to bring us back in touch with the expansive beauty of the Christian Story.

Our deepest desire as human beings is to know and be known by God and others. What do you do when unwanted sexual behavior and unhealthy relationships prevent you from making those God ordained connections? Regeneration’s Path through the Wilderness is a program to help individuals find healing and transformation so they can experience true intimacy with God and others.

As the world seemingly darkens, remember that the Church is to be a light to the world, pointing to the One who is the Light of life. Let us remain united together in Christ, as citizens of heaven, opposing the powers of darkness,

My earliest memory is of Anglican liturgy. As a five-year-old, I was captivated by the way people closed their eyes with their hands lifted as they prayed “Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts,” how they raised their voices in agreement with lectionary readings, how their heads bowed in confession, and how they knelt humbly during the Lord’s Prayer.

Pray & Ponder, a podcast by Restoration Anglican in Arlington, VA is wrapping up season 3 -- TEND+grow -- as the school year ends and is already preparing season 4 -- Wild Wondering with God -- which will be available over the summer -- just in time for road trips!

When we started planning our topics for the Appalachian Anglican podcast, we tried to come at it with the mindset that our listeners could potentially be new to a historic and traditional church environment. We try to discuss each topic as a conversation while interjecting thoughts of how we perceive the church exists today similarly as she did in her early history.

This summer, with COVID restrictions lifting, there are so many more opportunities to reach out to the communities with fun, creative, and powerful ministry events.

In this article from the Trinity School of Ministry’s publication “Seed and Harvest” (Spring/Summer 2021), the Church of the Resurrection in Baltimore, MD is featured as a leader in the Anglican Church for their discipleship. By understanding that spiritual growth with numerical growth happen together, prioritizing the integration of new families, and focusing on community group ministry, Resurrection has witnessed God’s blessing through COVID-19.

What are the 39 Articles? What’s up with the wine? Why do Anglicans pray the Lord’s Prayer?

These are just a sampling of the questions answered in the Anglican FAQ Video Series by the Rev. Justin Clemente of New Creation Church in Hagerstown, MD.
