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 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.
Stations of the Cross, Friday evenings
On Fridays during Lent at 7 p.m., Atonement will commemorate the Stations of the Cross, an ancient tradition whereby Christians retrace the final steps of Jesus’ walk through Jerusalem to the site of his Crucifixion. The service will include a short Lenten reflection and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
You’re invited to join us for a simple soup supper at 6 p.m. in Montgomery Hall prior to our service of Stations of the Cross. Members of the parish will provide vegetarian soup and bread.
Forum: Modern theological approaches to suffering
Join us at 10 a.m. Sunday in the Elizabethan Room for another of our Lenten forums: Modern theological approaches to suffering led by Richard Kieckhefer. Writers of the later 20th century, following the lead of Elie Wiesel, devoted much reflection to the implications of the Shoah. Many of them were inspired by—or reacted against—the work of Jürgen Moltmann and his emphasis on the suffering of God on the cross. The suffering of the marginalized has been a theme in Liberation Theology. This forum will look at a small selection of modern approaches to suffering.
