Two New Ways to Stay Connected with others
who are passionate about liturgy
Associated Parishes offers its own Associated Parishes Blog and the Associated Parishes Online Network as two ways for you to stay connected and keep the conversation going.

Baptismal theology and the emerging church
The APLM Council met April 9-14 at the Seabeck Christian Conference Center in the Seattle area. During the meeting, the three themes of Girardian theory, baptismal theology and the emerging church were engaged. The group met and worshipped with the Church of the Apostles, an emerging church in the area as well as St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral.

The group left with a renewed sense of purpose and a deep interest in pushing forward the implications of our baptismal theology. More complete reports on the meeting are being generated now and will be added to this site.

A major leap forward for baptismal theology
APLM and Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will jointly sponsor a national consultation on the implications of baptismal theology as it is envisioned by the Book of Common Prayer (USA) and the Book of Alternative Services (Canada). The gathering will include liturgical scholars and practitioners, bishops, parish clergy and Christian educators representing the diversity of the Church. It will provide educational resources to equip people to fully implement in parish and diocesan life the baptismal vision long championed by APLM.
