Episode Synopsis

This fall in Sunday School, we are taking a deep dive into some of the most frequently asked questions that have been sent in for Ask the Church. In this first session, we look at the biblical and historical roots of ordination—what it means to be a bishop, priest, deacon, or lay person—and why these roles matter. Far from being “super-Christians,” clergy exist to equip the whole body for ministry. Every believer is called, gifted, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve God, one another, and the world.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to: 📖 Biblical teaching for both head and heart 🕯️ Spiritual formation through liturgy and sacrament 🙏 A shared life of prayer and discipleship for all ages🌐 Learn more: https://incarnationrichmond.org
