By Luke V.
Father Liz Groskoph, Episcopal Priest, started an Episcopal Bible Study Class for students interested in learning more about their faith. A small group of students signed up to participate in this Bible Study Class held on Tuesday during Activity Periods.
Participants were requested to fill out a form asking why they wanted to be in the Bible Study Class. Andrew G., an Episcopalian and a student in Betton House, joined the Bible Study Class. “I wanted to get a better connection with God and understand my religion,” Andrew acknowledged.
During this class, they discussed certain doctrines and concepts of the Episcopal religion. They also talked about the Holy Trinity, God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and other specific beliefs that Episcopalians have. Other beliefs such as The Creed and Salvation were discussed to give the students a better understanding of the Episcopal faith. During this class all of the participants wrote a card to Turner L., a student who recently left our community.
By the end of the class Andrew expressed his experience saying, “I learned about the beliefs of the Eucharistic and the Episcopal Church and how to meditate and worship in a healthy way.” Father Liz Groskoph will continue these classes on Tuesday’s during Activity Periods to help students learn more about their religion.
