Winter 2025 Introduction to Anglicanism with Rev. Jamie Howison

We will be gathering online for six Tuesday evening sessions, February 25 through April 1. The sessions all begin at 7pm (SK time), running for 90 to 110 minutes, depending on how much discussion the group will want to pursue to tie up any loose ends.

Each session will conclude with a brief service of Compline, adapted from the Book of Common Prayer; the liturgy will be provided to participants prior to the start of the series.
