decline – The Living Church

Episode 1: Church Decline

August 2, 2017

Fr. Zachary Guiliano and Canon Andrew Petiprin discuss “Facing Episcopal Church decline” by David Goodhew.

Positions Offered

Christ Episcopal Church Cedar Key, Florida is uniquely located on the largest island in a group of barrier
islands south of the Suwannee River in the Gulf of Mexico. We are just three miles from the mainland
and 60 miles from the university town of Gainesville. We offer a lovely rectory adjacent to the Parish
Hall with views of beautiful sunrises. Our Christ Church family is warm, friendly, and welcoming to
visitors and our membership includes a firm core of 30-60 faithful, dedicated people that recently
celebrated its 150th anniversary. We believe that we are called to carry out, in this age and in this place,
the threefold duty of all Christians, as defined in the Book of Common Prayer: To follow Christ, to come
together week by week for corporate worship, and to work, pray, and give for the spread of the
kingdom of God. We seek a Rector with the ability to preach the Gospel and make it relevant to our daily
lives; to teach; to give spiritual guidance; crisis ministry; and the ability to inspire young people.
