About this event

So you belong to a local congregation. That’s wonderful!

But it also means that you are part of a larger thing called the Diocese of Rhode Island.

And you are part of a still larger thing found in every state and several countries called The Episcopal Church.

AND you are part of the third largest group of Christians on the planet, the worldwide Anglican Communion.

But what does that mean, and why does it matter? What is the Via Media, and why is Common Prayer so important?

This workshop addresses these questions through presentation, conversation, and interactive exercises.

So come and learn something new about your wonderful, familiar faith. Prepare to become both time travelers and spiritual detectives, and thereby discover the gift to the world that is Anglican Christianity.

Organized by

The Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island is a gathering of the 52 Episcopal Churches in Rhode Island, served by the Bishop, The Rt. Rev. W. Nicholas Knisely and his staff who support congregations as they carry out their mission and ministries. They provide resources and educational opportunities to encourage spiritual development and outreach in the churches of this diocese, as well as in the greater community. Together, our Bishop and churches work to do large-scale ministry no church could operate alone, such as the ECC Summer Camp, the Center for Reconciliation and more.
