Episcopal Relief & Development
Episcopal Relief & Development is the international relief and development agency of the Episcopal Church of the United States, guided by the Episcopal Church’s principles of compassion, dignity and generosity as we work to heal a hurting world. ERD takes its mandate from the words of Jesus, found in Matthew 25: 37-40, that call us to feed the hungry, care for the sick and welcome the stranger.
Eucharistic Lectionary
These are the scriptures used every week in the Eucharist. There are 2 lectionaries used in the Episcopal Church, one from the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), and a Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). St. Stephen’s uses the Revised Common Lectionary at St. Stephen’s.
