Greetings, friends!

In the back of the Book of Common Prayer, there is a section called the Catechism. Set up in a question-answer format, it outlines some of the basic teachings of the Episcopal Church. 

For Theology on Tap tonight, I thought we could discuss two of these (found on p. 862, if you're curious).

Q: Why do we pray for the dead?

A: We pray for them, because we still hold them in our love, and because we trust that in God's presence those who have chosen to serve him will grow in his love, until they see him as he is.

Q: What is the communion of saints?

A: The communion of saints is the whole family of God, the living and the dead, those whom we love and those whom we hurt, bound together in Christ by sacrament, prayer, and praise.

Please join us at 9pm at the Canoe Club to discuss these questions and others over free drinks and garlic fries.

Peace,

Ethan
