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 (including proposed prayers from the
Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music), and Related
Materials.
