Confirmation of Confirmation

Bishop Daniel Martins
December 11, 2019
Commentary, Contributors, Liturgy, The Episcopal Church
Lots of Episcopalians, lay and ordained, seem to think they know what confirmation is, but our canons and liturgical forms are, at best, ambiguous, and there’s nothing approaching broad agreement about how to interpret them.

On Baptism

Mac Stewart
November 12, 2019
Commentary, Contributors, Liturgy, The Episcopal Church
Baptism is an apocalypse.

Neil Dhingra
March 18, 2019
Books, Reviews & Culture, Roman Catholic Church
All the sacraments are traumatic for us. Our body is no longer completely our own, our present is interrupted by a foretaste of the eschatological banquet, and the sacraments ultimately are beyond any adequate verbal description.

DEPO and the Personal Ministry of Bishops

Bishop Daniel Martins
November 28, 2018
Commentary, Ecclesiology, The Episcopal Church
Why might a parish conclude that it needs pastoral oversight from a bishop who concurs with its understanding of the gospel?

Eugene Schlesinger
November 27, 2018
Commentary, Ecclesiology, Liturgy, The Episcopal Church
Every parish my family has visited in California has made it very clear that absolutely everyone is invited to the altar for Communion.

What Your Vows Meant

Zac Koons
November 26, 2018
Liturgy, Ministry, The Episcopal Church
This is a defense of the marriage vows: these words have enduring theological power. They are not merely romantic. They provide a thick and specifically Christian account of marriage

What Mary Received in the Eucharist

Jonathan Mitchican
May 15, 2018
Commentary, Liturgy
If we ever take the Eucharist for granted, meditating on Mary’s relationship with the sacrament would be a fitting remedy.
