Spirituality for a digital world

We can’t know ourselves by ourselves, and we need community to discover our truest and deepest selves. In following Christ we are called to work with him to build the beloved community.

Many activities at All Saints have both group and solo components that can shift depending on how you approach them. For example: Compline may be a solitary, contemplative activity for those who come to sit in the pews and absorb the sounds and silence, but for those who join the choir, Compline can be a profound communal experience; serving casseroles at the cathedral with the MANNA community is ideal for group oriented, active types…making a casserole at home to be delivered to MANNA may be better for people wanting a more solitary, contemplative experience; serving as a chalice bearer during Sunday service is definitely a communal activity, yet people who serve in this way often report a getting a profound sense of inner peace and growth that you might expect more from solo, contemplative activities.

Depending on how you approach them, most activities at All Saints will appeal to multiple spiritualities. The icons on each activity can serve as guides. Learn about the types of spiritualities.
