Upcoming Events
Anglican Piety - an open enrolment workshop Saturday January 25, 2025;
The Lay Readers are coordinating a workshop on Anglican Piety, led by Canon Giuseppe Gagliano of the Diocese of Quebec, on Saturday morning January 25.
Since Anglicanism is such a broad Christian tradition, Anglican piety may be hard to pin down. Yet, there are general principles that give rise to Anglican practices of worship and Christian life. In this two-part seminar, we will first look at the theological roots of Anglican piety in our tradition’s emphasis on scripture, tradition, and reason. In the second part, we will explore the various ways that this theological method is expressed in practice, especially through Anglican writers, musicians, missionaries, and mystics. Overall, this seminar seeks to show that Anglican piety, while broad in its expression, arises out of a particular approach to the Christian faith.
We will gather online or in person at the church at 08:30. Details in the linked attachments in French and English.
