BILL CHERRY'S GREATEST DALLAS PARK CITIES REAL ESTATE BLOG: CHURCH OF THE INCARNATION - DALLAS

Interestingly two of the largest Episcopal Church congregations in the U.S. are in Dallas, Texas. 

They are Saint Michael and All Angels, and Church of the Incarnation.  Both have extremely loyal memberships.  So loyal, in fact, that it is not unusual for all of the Sunday services at each church to be full or nearly full.

And both have a large number of participatory programs during the week. 

Church of the Incarnation follows the Anglican traditions.  Although I was raised in a less formal church in Galveston, Trinity Episcopal, I found myself gravitating to the Anglican tradition when I began going to the campus Episcopal chapel, Chapel of the Holy Spirit,  when I was a student at Tulane University in the late 1950s. 

Now that we are in Dallas, Patty and I are members of Church of the Incarnation.  Its rector is a bishop, a bishop who decided he wanted to return to being the spiritual leader of a single parish.  He is the Right Reverend Anthony Burton.  And interestingly, he was the youngest person ever ordained a bishop -- he was in his mid-thirties.

One of the best measurement of how any church is doing is whether or not its membership is increasing or decreasing.  I smiled when Bishop Burton confirmed this large class a couple of months ago.  It reminded me of when I was confirmed at Trinity Episcopal in Galveston, Palm Sunday, 1952 by the legendary Bishop Clinton S. Quin.

As it was for me in 1952, this was a glorious day in 2010!
