| To stand at our altar on a Sunday morning and look out over the gathered worshippers is to see the people of God in all their variety. Our congregation is a microcosm of the whole Anglican Communion, and our members come from over 35 nations from around the world. We are also diverse in other areas: life-long members worship alongside brand-new babies. Our vocations in the world range from attorney to government worker to health care professional to beautician to professor to homemaker to travel agent. And many of our members are retired after long and successful careers.In our parish survey, respondents said our diversity is both our greatest strength and our greatest challenge. But we are unified in our diversity as we gather in communion each week at the Lord¡¯s table. Parishioners reside in suburban Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia. They also come from England, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, the West Indies, El Salvador, Liberia, Madagascar, China, India and elsewhere. back to top |
