October 2 to December 18 Adult Inquirers' Class
Although designed for adults seeking December confirmation, anyone wishing to learn more about the Episcopal approach to Christianity is welcome to attend these sessions which this fall will be held on Sunday mornings. For more details about the class, read the rector's letter in the September issue of Cross Roads (www.thechapelofthecross.org) Participants will be attending the "What Does It Mean To Be An Anglican?" series and will have additional readings.

October 9, 16, 23, 30 What Does It Mean To Be an Anglican?
We talk about being a member of the Anglican Communion. What does that mean? The Rev. Canon John Peterson, former Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, will explain its history, importance, and the ties that bind us together and to God. The Rev. Leon Spencer, guiding shepherd of the School of Ministry for the diocese, will examine what makes the Anglican Episcopal Church distinctive in its worship, approach to scripture, and its polity. What Anglicans are "supposed" to believe is the small topic that the Rev. Dr. Richard Pfaff will tackle. The diversity within the church will be explored by the Rev. Lisa Fischbeck.
