Engage ‘The Way of Love’ Throughout the Liturgical Year
New resource, Life Transformed: The Way of Love in Lent and Easter, coming soon
Episcopalians are invited to explore The Way of Love, Practices for Jesus-Centered Life throughout the liturgical year. More than a program or curriculum, The Way of Love is an intentional commitment to a set of practices – Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest – that form us into the likeness of Jesus.
To assist congregations, dioceses, and communities of faith in engaging The Way of Love, The Episcopal Church and partnering organizations offer resources for every time of the year:
