Welcome to Young People’s Theology!
This site developed out of extended discussions on social media, intended to be a place for anyone interested in deeper exploration of theology or organizing for necessary change in the Episcopal Church to contribute to the conversation.
In 2019 and 2020, we organized several major projects:
- The 39 Articles Project: This series, by over 40 different authors, considered the 39 Articles of Religion of the Church of England, important foundational Anglican documents. The essays look at the Articles through a modern lens to consider their relevance for Anglican practice today.
- Inclusive Psalter: The Inclusive Psalter project is a new gender-inclusive adaptation of the Psalms, based on the translation in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Particular features of the adaptation include the use of YHWH or GOD in place of “LORD” for the divine name, and the use of singular “they” as a generic pronoun. We offer this for free for congregational or personal use.
- Theological Syllabus on Virtual Communion: This collection of online resources considers the topic of virtual eucharist/virtual communion, which arose during the COVID-19 pandemic, from a variety of theological perspectives.
We have also published and hosted additional guest posts on our Blog.
About us:
This site is aimed at laypeople and clergy, primarily in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition, interested in deep engagement with theology. We believe theology is the work of the laity, not just the clergy, and that serious theology is accessible to everyone.
We are broadly orthodox, and in all our disagreements we’re united by a belief that the essentials of Christian faith and the transformative power of God as revealed through theological study are the most solid foundation for radical social change in the world.
