The Cathedral of St. Philip: Sermons & Classes

Old Fashioned Sunday School – The Episcopal Rule (January 18, 2026)

The Cathedral of St. Philip

This Sunday, January 18, we begin a new term of our yearlong “How to Be an Episcopalian” series. In this session, we talk about Baptism. 

This section of the class uses six sessions to address a map of spiritual practices (including Holy Eucharist, the Daily Office, personal reflection, community participation, and service) that has traditionally characterized parish life in the Anglican tradition. 

My claim is that when a person lives within this rhythm long enough, their faith becomes steady, habitual, charitable, and integrated into daily life.

We are in the midst of a yearlong course designed to ground participants in the thinking and practices of the Christian faith as lived in the Episcopal Church. The aim is not merely education, but transformation: to set loose an energy in individuals that stirs new thinking and behavior — opening the way to a new place in one’s spiritual journey.
