Our Merciful Saviour is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion which has over 70 million members. The Episcopal Church places scripture, tradition and reason as a foundation by which people come to know the truth of God in Jesus Christ. We are a Gospel Church, a praying church and a thinking church. It is a church for those of deep faith and devotion, as well as a church for those trying to find their way while struggling with questions of faith. It is a church where seeking, learning, and inquiring are encouraged and supported. Most of all, it is a Church which raises up the love of God in Jesus Christ, Our Merciful Saviour. |
