As a candidate for Chaplain at All Saints Episcopal School, I was excited to hear of how proud this community is of its Episcopal identity. Our tradition offers a unique, while at the same time, universal Christian understanding of relationship with the divine. As your new spiritual leader, I seek to carry on this tradition as God continues to unfold our grand narrative of Creation.

It is a wonderful thing to witness Episcopal identity lived out each day on this campus. These are just a few of the things that make All Saints Episcopal School and all Episcopal schools wonderful places to grow and learn.

"What are the principal qualities that distinguish a school as Episcopal?”
from NAES, the National Association of Episcopal Schools

• A Community of Faithfulness
  Episcopal schools are created to be communities that honor, celebrate and worship God as the center of life.
• A Community that models God’s love and grace
  Episcopal schools model serving God in Christ in all persons, regardless of origin, background, ability or religion; strive for justice and peace among all people; and respect the dignity of every human being through Community Service locally, nationally and internationally.
• A Diverse Community
  Episcopal schools are populated by religious, cultural and economic diversity among their students.
• A Multi-faith Community in Worship and Prayer
  All who attend and work in them – Episcopalians and non-Episcopalians, Christians and non-Christians, people of no faith tradition – attend Weekly Chapel and worship services as they seek clarity about their own beliefs and religions and to honor those traditions more fully and faithfully in their own lives.
• A Community of Empowerment
  Above all, Episcopal schools demonstrate and proclaim the unique worth and beauty of all human beings as creations of a loving, empowering God.

By weaving these principles into the very fabric of the school’s overall life, Episcopal schools ensure that their missions are built on the sure foundation of a Christian love that guides and challenges all who attend our schools to build lives of genuine meaning, purpose and service in the world they will inherit.
