Looking for a concise, accessible explanation of Episcopal faith and beliefs?

The Revs. Scott Gunn and Melody Shobe have given us an incredible resource. In this course these veteran Episcopal clerics unpack the basic beliefs and practices of their tradition. This is the first of five courses and takes us for a survey of the Sacramental life. Here are the titles of their four video presentations:

1) The Anglican Way of Christianity
2) The New Life of Grace
3) A Wonderful Sacrament
4) Grow in Grace

This course is based on the companion book Walk in Love and completion of all five courses makes students eligible for a ChurchNext Certificate in Episcopal Basics.

Here's a video preview:
