Having completed the first trial use of the Via Media Program during the Spring and a second use which concluded June 27, Trinity Episcopal Church, Woodbridge, is happy to announce that an additional Via Media program will be held this fall at a date to be determined later. Please watch this space for the announcement of the fall program.
In recent months, the Episcopal Church has been making headlines globally and locally. The increasing amount of tension in relation to the prophetic actions of The General Convention and the newly consecrated gay Bishop, Gene Robinson, has created a buzz within the Church, as well as in the larger community. In response to the attention, Trinity Church, Woodbridge began offering a series of eight Christian education courses called Via Media. The program is focused on continuing the conversation, and it's open to anyone who has ever been curious or interested in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition. Our objective is to create an open and inclusive environment that appeals to people wondering about The Episcopal Church or Trinity Church, as well as our existing congregation members. We encourage people to bring their ideas and questions, and we'll provide the informational resources and a place to exchange your thoughts and voice your opinions.
Over a period of eight weeks, Trinity Episcopal Church invites
those seeking a spiritual community to enter both the journey and the
conversation.
Using a combination of learning styles which includes video, written materials,
small group discussion, and large group forum, a group of people encounter the
basic principles of Christianity through the Anglican approach of Scripture,
Tradition, and Reason. All people are encouraged to ask questions, and to learn
how to answer their own questions of faith.
The Via Media Program is available through the
Every Voice Network.
