Serving God's People for over 130 years!
Welcome to Atonement
Welcome to the Church of the Atonement, an Episcopal church in the Anglo-Catholic tradition. For more than 130 years, Atonement has been a witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our Edgewater neighborhood and in the wider community. Today, we continue in that witness as an active, visionary, and inclusive congregation that serves God through daily prayer and worship, the practice of lifelong Christian learning, and ministries of outreach and justice.
Whoever you are, and wherever you are in your walk of faith, you are most welcome here. Your presence, your faith, your prayers, and your questions are wanted here. Your gifts and your energy are needed here. You are invited to come and see what God has in mind for you.
Parish Forum: Hoping for the Apocalypse
Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. in Montgomery Hall for our parish forum. We live in apocalyptic times; on that we can all agree. But what exactly does it mean? Why do some Christians long for the Apocalypse (as we all claim to do in Advent), while others dread it or pooh-pooh the idea? Throughout Christian history, excitable roosters have crowed about the coming millennial dawn, while wise old owls have hooted in derision. This forum will explore some historic moments of apocalyptic hope and their disappointment, ending with our own times. Can humans do anything to speed the coming apocalypse, or must we simply wait upon God’s good pleasure?
