St. John’s is part of the Episcopal Church<\/a>, which is a part of the world-wide Anglican Communion<\/a>. Our traditions include an intentional connection to the early church, Irish and English Christianity, Catholic and Protestant elements incorporated in the English Reformation, and particular American characteristics. We believe Scripture is the Word of God and contains all things necessary for salvation. We believe what the Apostles’ and the Nicene Creed say about God and Jesus Christ. We place a high value on our common worship and sacramental life. We believe that Jesus calls us to respect the dignity of every human being. <\/p>\n

The Diocese of Texas website<\/a> offers some further explanations of Episcopalian faith and life.<\/p>\n
