Saint Stephen’s is a “parish in the classical Anglican tradition”. Our spiritual life is focused on the Bible, and the confession of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. We use the King James Version of the Bible (the “Authorised Version”) in our services and our study groups. We are part of the Diocese of the Eastern United States in the Anglican Church in America.
Our liturgical life is focused on the Book of Common Prayer. We use the 1662 BCP at our Saturday and Sunday services, and the 1928 BCP for Wednesday Evening Prayer. Holy Communion is featured prominently on our service schedule, of course, but Saint Stephen’s is one of the few parishes in the country which still regularly presents the service of Morning Prayer.
It follows from our Bible– and Prayer Book–centered life that community outreach plays an important part in the life of the Parish. Our clergy and pastoral care staff make regular visits to shut–ins and residents of local hospitals and assisted living facilities. The Parish also actively supports a number of local charities: At Jacob’s Well, which serves the homeless mentally ill of Baltimore; Heifer International, which provides live farm animals to families as a source of food and income; and the Christ Child Society of Baltimore, which provides practical support to families with children. The Parish also holds regular blood drives in cooperation with the Red Cross.
Finally, being a “parish in the classical Anglican tradition” means that we have fun. Our annual Cookie Walk in December, and British Garden Party and Fête in May, are neighborhood legends. The Fall and Spring Picnics are always well attended and well enjoyed, as are our Summer Potluck Suppers.
Please stop by for one of our services or other parochial activities: we think you’ll enjoy what you find—and find what you need. God bless.
