Additional Liturgies

The writings, music, and traditions of our Christian faith are rich in seasonal and natural reflection.  The Episcopal Ecological Network (EpEN) seeks to provide as many different service options that congregations can use for various occasions.  As additional services become available to us, they will be posted below.

All entries are provided without any endorsement on the part of the EpEN.  You may need to receive permission from your Diocesan Bishop or other judicatory authority before using these services in your congregation. The originating parish or clergyperson may enjoy hearing from you if your congregation uses their work.

The list is broken down into Service Bulletins, Other Liturgies, and Related Materials.
