Announcing our first Faith-Based Tour Friends of Bruton is pleased to announce its first faith-based travel program. A tour and pilgrimage to historic cathedrals and churches of England is scheduled for May 16 to 25, 2014 (we will extend registrations into late March or until we reach the maximum number of participants). It is open to any and all who want to share this exceptional experience. Led by Father John Maxwell Kerr, Episcopal Chaplain to the faculty, staff and students at the College of William & Mary, Father Kerr brings a unique perspective to the tour. Born in Scotland, graduated from the Universities of Toronto, Leeds and Nottingham, ordained an Anglican Priest in the Diocese of Oxford, serving as a Priest in Windsor Parish, and as a lecturer in physics, chemistry and theology at Oxford, John Kerr is especially qualified to add his exceptional knowledge and experience to enrich the tour. Click here for the brochure which includes more details, then print and complete the Reservation Form on the last page and mail it directly to Far Horizons. Please direct any questions via email to friends@brutonparish.org.
Welcome to Our Worldwide Congregation! The purpose of Friends of Bruton is to provide a means whereby individuals and families, who may live throughout the United States and indeed around the world, may participate in the preservation and promotion of the unique history and spiritual legacy of Bruton Parish Church in Colonial Williamsburg. Friends of Bruton is open to all who share this vision. As the successor to the first Anglican Church established in the “New World” at Jamestown, Bruton has continued in the spiritual tradition of those early settlers who landed there in May of 1607.
As a Friend of Bruton, you will receive a variety of benefits, including an electronic edition of our monthly newsletter The Chronicle and periodic e-newsletters especially designed for Our Worldwide Congregation containing articles of interest both historic and spiritual ... read *The Bruton Fount* Fall 2012, Winter 2012, Spring 2013, Summer 2013, Fall 2013, and Winter 2013. Future benefits may include special events, cultural tours, webinars, music programs, and perhaps opportunities for a trip back to Williamsburg! We'll even inform you of our annual stewardship campaigns. Because this is a new Bruton outreach program, we have established an opportunity over the next several months for Friends to be designated as Charter Members by making a donation of $100 or more. As an expression of our appreciation for helping us inaugurate this new program, we will be delighted to send a signed copy of Bruton Parish Church: An Architectural History by the distinguished historian, Dr. Carl Lounsbury. Marking the three-hundredth anniversary of this much beloved 18th century landmark, the author analyzes for the first time the fascinating history of this national shrine and active church building we know today. Checks should be made payable to Bruton Parish Church, with Friends of Bruton in the memo line, and mailed to Bruton Parish Church. It's easy to enroll, just click here and complete the online form. We look forward to welcoming you to Our Worldwide Congregation as a Friend of Bruton. The Rev'd Christopher L.
