Welcome to Atonement
Welcome to the Church of the Atonement, an Episcopal church in the Anglo-Catholic tradition. For more than 135 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.
Anglo-Catholic with emphasis on ‘Anglo’
Join us for our next parish forum on Sunday at 10 a.m. in the Elizabethan Room. In the later 19th and early 20th centuries, there was some tension between Anglo-Catholics who looked to Roman liturgy for inspiration and those who thought a Catholic revival would do well to draw on the pre-Reformation traditions of England. One of the leading proponents of “English use” was the Rev’d Canon Percy Dearmer—a major figure in the edition of hymnals and song books (including the Oxford Book of Carols) and a prominent Anglo-Catholic Socialist. Focusing largely on Dearmer, but also his predecessors and followers, this forum will explore the implications of this approach to Anglo-Catholicism.
