Episcopal Beliefs

Basic beliefs of the Episcopal Church and how Episcopalians develop their beliefs.

[@sheamusofaolain3208]

I've been an Episcoplaian for 45 years and never had this presented to me before. Thank you! Please do more videos.

[@trishamccarty3202]

I've been episcopalian for 46 years and this was education. Thank you

[@jellyrollfan93]

Very clear and informative to someone with a nondenominational background! God is good.

[@joehuber3375]

Thanks so much for this content. It was really informative and helpful in my research on Episcopal beliefs and the church.

[@CarlosRodriguez-ox3bg]

I love being an Episcopalian. Hoping to Discern a call to Deacon

[@notlimey]

Interesting. I am a Canadian Anglican - interesting what you've added to Baptism.

[@seokermom]

Thank you for this video

[@elizabethhjenkins6172]

Thank you. I am new to Episcopalianism. This was very informative and something I respect and had been looking for.

I think I visited the church while I was at IU in 2011. Did you become rector recently?

[@willx9352]

The RC doctrine of the immaculate conception is that Mary was born without original sin not that she was born of a virgin!

Why do you put money on the altar during the blessing of the Eucharist?

[@jimmycain8669]

Episcopalians don’t believe the Word of God. I had to leave the church and join the Anglican Church years ago. It broke my heart to leave but the Holy Ghost convicted me to go.

[@yoursuccessfullife.]

Sorry, but I found this to be quite wishy washy. We're I not a cradle Episcopalian, J doubt this would have inspired me to become one.

[@thethinplace]

I am also an Episcopalian, and unfortunately wishy-washy is on brand for us.

[@stephaniejames6672]

Hi, I’m looking to find a spiritual home, and I am confused about something that I hope you understand and can explain to me in a way that won’t make me wonder about the appropriateness of it endlessly. Could you please explain to me why money is put on the altar during the blessing of the Eucharist? It seems like such a dark practice to me right now.

[@stephaniejames6672]

As a suggestion, it would be great if Episcopalians would stop saying “bells and smells,” or “smells and bells,” however it goes, as it is derisive toward every other religious and esoteric practice known to man, perhaps with the exception of Protestants and heretics. The bells and the incense have real meaning and real spiritual power to people everywhere on Earth. You aren’t being rude to the beliefs of only the Catholics, if deriding Catholics is what you are hoping to do. Please remember that even if the esoteric underpinnings are missing from your understanding of these important practices, their use isn’t lost on others. It might be nice if you brought them back, actually.

Gotta go to old school Episcopalian churches. It still exists.

[@tedcrockett1028]

I was raised in the Episcopal church.When I became a Christian I realized it was not Christian theologically Based.They are not readers of the Bible from the pulpit and are very liberal.

[@SartorialisticSavage65]

Yeah. That's why I love the Episcopalian faith, as I was originally raised. It's holds true to the original word.

[@brackguthrie9470]

You are completely wrong about the both the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption. The Immaculate Conception is the dogma that Mary was kept free of original sin from the time of her conception. The Roman Catholic Church does not hold that Mary was taken up to heaven while still living. The Church is silent on the matter. The Chruch holds that Mary was taken up to heaven bodily at the end of her life. I would expect a priest to be better educated than that.

[@KKruse-jb4cu]

I just don't see the point in being a Christian if you're just going to pick and choose which articles of faith to believe or disbelieve. If you don't believe that the bible is truth in its entirety, then why bother being a Christian?

[@wesmorgan7729]

There's a difference between believing that every person has dignity, as everyone is made in God's image, and affirming actions and behavior that is clearly sinful. I'd argue that doing that latter does the opposite of affirming someone's dignity.

[@DianneElizabeth64]

Don’t make believe. Just be become a Roman Catholic and be the original.

[@peacecraft3449]

Left the Catholic Church for the Episcopal Church here, mostly had to do with Catholics not allowing women ordination.

[@Nothere780]

Yeah cuz women cannot be ordained!​@peacecraft3449

[@peacecraft3449]

@ramranch4381 they can be, in fact most churches allow them.

[@SartorialisticSavage65]

Is there a process for that?

[@brackguthrie9470]

I am a Catholic. Unfortunately, many people are not welcome in the Catholic Church.
