THE SACRAMENTAL LIFE
The Anglican tradition, of which the Episcopal Church is a part of, is sacramental in nature. We believe that through our worship God has promised us access to divine grace. The basic definition of a sacrament that we use is "An outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace." (BCP, 857)
Through our prayerful use of the physical materials of this world: water, bread, wine, oil, God gifts us with forgiveness of our sins, an enlightening of our minds, a stirring of our hearts, and a strengthening of our wills. By participating in the sacraments, we trust that God's grace and blessing will descend upon us through the power of the Holy Spirit.
