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:
The Nicene Creed, 325–2025
Join us at 10 a.m. in the Elizabethan Room to discuss "The Nicene Creed, 325–2025: The Father and the Son in eternity and time." This year is the 1,800th anniversary of the Creed that we sing routinely in our Sunday Mass: the Nicene Creed, produced in its original form at the Council of Nicaea in 325. Richard Kieckhefer continues the discussion of this statement of our faith.
Part 3: The Spirit, the Church, and back to eternity (Sep. 28): We conclude our exploration by discussing the last section of the Creed.
