What does is mean to be a Christian in today's world?
Our Baptismal Covenant is the backbone of our faith,
and describes the ways in which we live out our faith as Christians.
ABOUT THE WAY FORWARD
The Way Forward Ministry seeks to explore how we can best come together as Christians to live more deeply into our faith, in the midst of the tumultuous unrest we see throughout our communities, the nation, and the world.
This ministry seeks to provide the parish with opportunities to fulfill the mission of the church, by engaging in conversations on a variety of social topics that lead to action, ultimately bringing us more closely together as a parish, and a broader Charlotte community.
We extend an invitation to the parish to get involved with The Way Forward!
We look forward to journeying with you, learning with you, exploring with you, and growing with you.
The Way Forward advocates for the people of
St. John’s to explore and live into our
Baptismal Covenant.
UPCOMING EVENT
SACRED GROUND
“Sacred Ground is a 10-part film and readings based study that creates safe space for difficult, yet respectful and transformative dialogue on race and racism. This curriculum, grounded in faith, was developed by the national Episcopal Church. It is intended for small groups of 6-10 people and promotes empathic, prayerful listening, in confidentiality, free of argument or judgment.
With support from fellow learners and facilitators at Christ Church (which to date has hosted a dozen classes), Lauren Phillips and Jackie John will serve as facilitators as SJEC launches this study beginning on Ash Wednesday, 7-9 p.m.
After that, classes will take place March 16,30; April 20; May 4,18; June 1, 15, 29, from 6:30-8:00. Preparation for each class takes several hours. Our hope is that COVID conditions will allow for in person study.
