Education for Ministry

Six to eleven students and a trained mentor meet weekly for 2-3 hours throughout the academic year, beginning in September. Through study, prayer and reflection, students move toward a new understanding of the fullness of God’s kingdom. If you are interested in this kind of serious religious study, please contact clergy@stannes-annapolis.org.

This ecumenical group serves to balance daily life with silence and grounding Spirit through Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina, and shared reflection.

We meet the first 2 Tuesdays for Centering Prayer and a session from Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton, led by Carol Leach. The 3rd Tuesday is Lectio Divina and Centering Prayer led by Lynn Thonnard. We meet from 10 am to 11:15 am at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church at 730 Bestgate Road in Annapolis.

Reconciliation Ministry

St. Anne’s Reconciliation Ministry is part of our parish’s Journey to Becoming Beloved Community. A fundamental calling for the Diocese of Maryland who, “acknowledge that there can be no love without justice, and there can be no justice without some form of repairing an injustice.” Our commitment is grounded in Gospel as we seek to do the transformative work of healing and justice.

Men’s Bible Study

The Men’s Bible Study is St. Anne’s longest running lay ministry. Dedicated to studying the Bible and the work of Christian theologians. Knowledge of the Bible is not a prerequisite. Encouraged is an open mind and heart, and a suspicion that paying closer attention to how scripture can model your life will put you in a better place. For more information, please email Wayne Adamson or Bob Sherer 410-266-1334.
