Conversations in the Rector’s Study Sundays at 9:45am
A new program for Sundays “between services”!
A member of the parish will speak for five or so minutes and share their reflections on the Scripture readings for the following Sunday.
Then a conversation will follow guided by one of the clergy who will share theological, Biblical and pastoral perspectives as appropriate.
“Conversations” will provide a relaxed, safe and informed environment to allow those present to talk about God, their lives and contemporary events.
Come and be at the beginnings of this exciting new program.

Inquirer’s Classes
Offered periodically and provide a safe place where questions are encouraged, the Christian faith is explored, and the traditions of the Episcopal Church are examined. These courses are designed for those who are considering Christianity for the first time, for those who are new or are returning to the Episcopal Church after a long absence, and for members who simply want to know more about our church. Please contact the Rector, Rev. Alan Neale 215.567.1267.
Bible Studies
Offered throughout the year in home group settings. This year Bible Study participants have explored the Acts of the Apostles, the Creation stories, and the Book of Psalms. The group looks at the book’s historical roots, the community for which it was written, and how it affects our lives today.
Book Groups
Occasionally meets to read and discuss a book that may be on the bestseller list. These groups may explore how our faith affects our reading of the book, and how the book affects our lived faith. In the past year we have read together Those Episcopalians and ThePurpose-Driven Life.
Lectures and Forums
Provides an opportunity to further explore issues of interest with an expert (or experts) on the matter. These are presented on various topics throughout the year. We are always seeking to bring in topics and speakers that will appeal to the congregation, and we welcome suggestions!
Members meet monthly to discuss a book that has been agreed upon in advance. Books are generally religious in nature but not always specifically Episcopalian. Past selections have included such titles as Thomas Merton’s Seven Story Mountain and Hannah Green’s Little Saint. All readers are welcome as are book suggestions.
