CELEBRATING TEN YEARS
The Open Episcopal Church is celebrating it's tenth year.
In that time we have ministered to hundreds of thousands of people across the United Kingdom, bringing them the Gospel of Love.
Our ministry is inclusive, ecumenical, loving, knowing no boundaries or exclusions and reaching out to all.
We have over 20,000 members. Our clerics are based in Scotland, Wales and England. We have more applicants for the priesthood than ever before.
Our desire is to make the life of Jesus Christ and the sacraments of Christ's Church available to everyone in an accessible manner and related to the realities and pressures of modern life.
While some of our ministers are based in one community and offer worship from various local centres and churches, many are itinerant and minister within groups, over a wide area.
This tenth year will see the Open Episcopal Church exhibit for the first time at the Christian Resources Exhibition at Esher in May and launch the Open Episcopal Church KITE Awards for young people, aged 10-18, who are promoting peace, reconciliation and good relations between those of different faiths, cultures, ethnic groups, persuasions etc.
Our vision is to model and work towards the building of a community that has no walls, in which everyone has their rightful and equal place and all enjoy equal respect and resource.
