Recognizing that "church" at its best cannot be contained, this "church without walls" shares the unconditional love of Christ with and through people who ordinarily would not mix.
The "Church Without Walls" ministry of The Episcopal Diocese of Florida calls people from all walks of life into partnership with "the least of these." We are a "community of presence" made up of individuals looking for spiritual companionship and connection that give meaning to life. We welcome everyone -- the homeless and the affluent, the addicted and those in recovery, the churched and the un-churched, the spiritual but not religious, the believer, the doubter and the seeker.
We are grounded in the reality that "by opening ourselves to strangers, the despised or frightening or unintelligible other, we will see more and more of the holy (from prologue to Take this Bread)." Again and again, we will be transformed.
Most Sundays, Church Without Walls meets in the chapel at St. John's Cathedral, returning to the parking lot of the Episcopal Diocese of Florida for Easter Sunday, Pentecost, and All Saints' Day.
