Theology of the Priesthood. The Rev. Frank Dunn, our Senior Priest, needs our participation as he works on his thesis for his doctor of ministry degree. His thesis is that an Episcopal congregation committed to shared ministry needs to have a clear statement of its theology of priesthood so that the entire community, both priests and lay persons, can affirm priestly ministry without depreciating others’ ministries. The project consists of two things. One is a survey of the congregation--click here to complete the survey on line. The other is a conversation on Sunday, October 12, immediately after the 10:30 service. A light lunch will be served. Please take the survey and join us on October 12.
