From Colorado-
It will not be like other services.
“We had some folk in the parish who were looking for a different kind of worship experience than our normal service,” said Christ Episcopal Church Father Mark Meyer. “We’re willing to help provide that.”
As of May, the Episcopal Church began to offer Journey, a community worship service, at 5 p.m. Sundays in the Chapel of Christ Church at Eighth and Harrison.
After looking at several possibilities, they learned of a service at St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral in Denver, which offers a new different worship experience, called The Wilderness after the building’s namesake, St. John in the Wilderness.
“We’ve incorporated some of the elements of that, like the prayer stations,” Meyer said. “Then there were other folk in the parish that wanted a contemplative experience.”
Once a month, the church will offer this experience, where some of the elements from a Taize service also will be incorporated into it.
“One of the things they do at the Wilderness is they allow people to get up and walk around anytime during the service,” Meyer said.
