St Mark's is committed to being a transforming community where people can learn to share in the divine life of him who shared our humanity.

Christian spirituality is the quest of apprentices of Jesus for an authentic relationship with God and compassionate engagement with the world through the transformation of our consciousness and being.

Episcopal spirituality has a long history which comes through our Anglican heritage and is deeply influenced by ancient Benedictine spirituality, which emphasized a balance of prayer & sacraments, study & reflection, and compassion & service.   This balance is reflected in the Book of Common Prayer, which is a primary resource of spiritual practice for Episcopalians.
 
The spirituality practiced by St Mark’s is rooted in the Book of Common Prayer, but for those who wish to go deeper, our “School of Wisdom and Practical Spirituality” is a school for learning the teachings and practices of inner transformation (Romans 12:2) that were taught by the Church Fathers and by the saints and mystics through Christian history – a transformation that changes human beings and their relationship with God and the world from the inside out.
