Why choose
St. Margaret’s?
St. Margaret’s and The Episcopal Church
The Episcopal Church sits at a unique crossroads between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, embracing aspects of both traditions. It values both scripture and tradition, while also emphasizing reason as an important tool for understanding and interpreting faith. This balance allows for a flexible, thoughtful approach to theology, making it welcoming to a wide range of perspectives.

There will be prayer, a plenary session, breakout groups, and lunch. Break out groups will include sessions exploring priesthood, the diaconate, and discerning lay leadership for your community’s needs. Seekers are encouraged to attend with their clergy person, and the expectation is that participants will be present the whole day. Lunch will be served. Parking is available.
