Do Episcopalians believe in private confession like the Catholic Church does? Why do we bother with baptism? Learn this and more in Rev. Robert Berra’s teaching a series on the sacraments and sacramental theology in an Anglican key. The series covers what sacraments are and what they do, and explores the sacraments as markers of a community of grace. Watch below to learn!
As the weeks go on, a new video in the series will be added. There will also be a link to the presentation and a bibliography.
