Theology
Introduction to Theology at Saint Thomas
Saint Thomas Church takes theology seriously. Theology properly begins as “faith seeking understanding.” Starting with the faith we have been given, particularly in the Anglican tradition, we seek to go deeper into the things of God.The Adult Education program at Saint Thomas Church offers sound Christian teaching presented with intellectual vigor, teaching that is grounded in Holy Scripture, mediated by the catholic tradition that is the inheritance of Anglicanism and set forth in the Book of Common Prayer.
Theology is already deeply embedded in our worship; through the education program we offer a means to bring people more deeply into the Christian faith. The program offers a variety of courses with special emphasis on the biblical doctrine of God and the meaning of being human.
Classes meet every Sunday at 10am, and, much of the year, on a variety of weekday evenings. Be sure to check the Theology at Saint Thomas Calendar frequently.
