A Users' Guide for Episcopalians

Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi.

  • The rule of prayer is the rule of belief.
  • Go into any Episcopal church and you are almost certain to find the Book of Common Prayer in some form, available to all the worshipers.
  • The Book of Common Prayer is much more than just a book of services and prayers. As it gives shape to our liturgies and words to our prayers it gives form to our beliefs and hopes; our works and our relationship with God.

Sometimes it is said that Episcopalians don't really believe in anything. We don't have a Pope or a Confession or official teaching body. But as we pray so do we believe.
