The
Church of Our Saviour is a parish within the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta
and part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Since 1924 we have maintained
a tradition of worship (sometimes called Anglo-Catholic) which uses the Book
of Common Prayer in its fullest and richest expression of the church's liturgy.
Our principal service is the Holy Eucharist or Mass which is celebrated on
the Lord's Day (and on certain weekdays) and which provides the focus for
our parish life. Our Saviour is a sacramental church offering Baptism, Confirmation,
Reconciliation and Healing as a witness to the presence and work of God amongst
us in the Body of Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit. We are also
a teaching and learning church where the study of the scriptures and the preaching
of God's Word play a major role. While we cherish and maintain a Christian
tradition entrusted to us from the time of the first followers of the Way,
we continue in dialogue with the world around us as "we seek and serve
Christ in all persons." We welcome all those who bring to our community
their gifts as well as their questions and needs. We believe that everyone
has been endowed by God with a unique spirit of creativity and inquiry. We
pray that He will give us all an "inquiring and discerning heart,the
courage to will and to persevere,a spirit to know and love Him,and the gift
of joy and wonder in all His works."
The
Church of Our Saviour lives as a Christian community based on Apostolic Order
and Evangelical Truth. |
