Celebrating the Faith
A program of Thomas the Apostle Center: November 6-7
“Celebrating the Faith” will be the title of Thomas the Apostle Center’s final workshop sponsored by the Foundation of the Episcopal Diocese in 2009. This workshop will be focused on doing traditional and creative liturgy in the Diocese of Wyoming and will be held November 6-7 at TAC’s retreat facility in Cody. As in the past, the first 15 participants will be offered free housing at TAC. There is no cost for this event. It will begin at 5 PM on Friday evening and conclude with lunch on Saturday.
The “Celebrating the Faith” workshop will present an overview of traditional liturgical practices in the Episcopal Church. It will include an historical perspective as well as outline required diocesan standards. It will also review the role of deacons in the liturgical life of the church and expose participants to some creative ideas for doing liturgy. It will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions of the several presenters on liturgical issues that affect their ministries.
Leaders for the workshop will be The Rev. Warren Murphy, who will present the liturgical overview, and The Rt. Rev. Bruce Caldwell, bishop of the diocese. Also participating will be the Rev. Warren Freelund who works with the diocese’s diaconal ministry and The Rev. Meg Nickles who has specialized in some of the new liturgical possibilities available to congregations.
The “Celebrating the Faith” workshop is being especially designed for parish priests, deacons and lay liturgical leaders. The weekend’s event is made possible through a grant to TAC by the Foundation for the Episcopal Diocese.
