Epps

completes Orthodox liturgy course

Father David Epps of

Sharpsburg, Rector of Christ the King Church in Peachtree

City, recently completed a course in History of Christian

Liturgy from St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology,

an Eastern Orthodox School.

The 60-hour

course covered such subjects as Liturgy and the Bible

(Old and New Testaments), Scriptural Foreshadowing of

Christian Worship, Early Examples of Liturgy, Centrality

of the Eucharist, Liturgy and the Eucharistic Action,

Performing and doing the Liturgy, History of the Synaxis,

and History of the Eucharist.

"This

was a detailed and extremely informative course,"

Epps said. "Most people in our area do not realize

that the Church of the Apostles was a liturgical and

sacramental church. I received a much greater

appreciation of the meaning of what we still do 2,000

years later."

Christ the

King Church meets each Sunday at 10 a.m. in the

Carmichael-Hemperley building on Hwy. 74 in Peachtree

City.
