St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

What it means to be an Episcopalian is a good starting point to find out about the Episcopal Church.
The Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, comprising 117 congregations and roughly 48,000 baptized members, is located on Maryland's historic western shore. Diocesan offices are centered in the City of Baltimore, but the diocese spreads from there southward toward Annapolis, north-eastward to Havre de Grace, and westward through Frederick, Hagerstown and Cumberland to include the westernmost parts of the state (except the counties bordering on Washington DC which are in the Diocese of Washington).

Episcopal Diocese of Maryland Cursillo — Cursillo (pronounced coor-SEE-yo) is a Spanish word meaning "short course." A Cursillo in Christianity is a short course in Christian living. St. Andrew's fully supports the Cursillo movement, and has numerous members whose lives have been touched by the Holy Spirit during their Cursillo weekend. Also available is the National Episcopal Cursillo site and the National Cursillo Center.
The Abrazo is the official newsletter of Maryland Cursillo.
Maryland Emmaus is a spiritual renewal program much like Cursillo intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders.
Maryland Crysalis — Chrysalis is the name chosen for the Youth Walk to Emmaus because it symbolizes faith growth in the lives of high school and college aged young adults – the spiritual growth that is necessary between adolescence and adulthood. It is a crucial time of maturing faith for discipleship.
The Episcopal Church in the USA — official website of the Episcopal Church. Quoting the website: "We expect our visitors will have a wide range of needs and levels of experience with the Episcopal Church. Lifelong Episcopalians may know the Church inside and out, while others may not know a narthex from a nave. Our site has settled into three natural communities — the Seeker, or non-Episcopalian, the Parishioner (the 'people in the pews'), and the Church Leader (lay or ordained) — leadership comes in many forms in our Church." Definately worth a visit.
