Teaching and Practice

We practice and teach the Anglican Baptismal Covenant, from the Book of Alternative Services (p. 158), our main prayer book. It contains the Apostle's Creed and five directives:

  1. to continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, the breaking of bread, and the prayers;
  2. to persevere in resisting evil and, whenever we fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord;
  3. to proclaim by word and example the good news of God in Christ;
  4. to seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbor as ourselves;
  5. to strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.

Background

St. Aidan Anglican Church was formed in 2003 by amalgamating four congregations into one new parish in one building. The building we eventually selected is the former St. John's Anglican Church, located in downtown Moose Jaw, beside the bus depot at High St. and 1st Ave. East. The cornerstone was laid in 1909.
