The
Episcopal Church is a small but influential body whose history is closely
intertwined with that of our nation. Our first General Convention was held
in Philadelphia in 1789, at the same time as the Constitutional Convention.
A number of prominent statesmen were delegates to both. Presidents who
were Episcopalians have included George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy
Roosevelt, FDR, Gerald Ford, and the elder George Bush.
The Episcopal
Church is unique in combining orthodox doctrine with liberal social attitudes.
We are known as a church that is rich in tradition, yet contemporary in our
openness and diversity. Deep spirituality and active service to the community
are equally important to us. Our worship and programs are always open, and “all
sorts and conditions” of people are welcome.
All Saints in
Clinton is a friendly parish that specializes in hospitality. Our facilities
are frequently used by church, community and college groups. We try to make
everyone feel at home. Fellowship is a reality here, and not just an ideal.
If you want to
know more, the best way is to join us on Sunday morning. Bible-based Sunday
School is provided for children at 9:15. An informative Adult Forum (which I
teach) is offered at the same time. Worship…with fine music, concise preaching,
and beautiful liturgy…begins at 10:30.
I keep office
hours from 9:00 until noon on Monday through Thursday. I’m available for
counseling, confession, or discussion. Feel free to drop in or call. It will
be my pleasure to be of service.
Thank you for
visiting our website. We hope you will visit us in person. If you do, you will
discover that our motto is true:
THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH WELCOMES YOU!
