All Saints’ is active in our community

Caring for the Homeless

“Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.” Romans 12:13

All Saints’ Episcopal Church is dedicated to helping those experiencing homelessness receive the necessities of life, including food, shelter, clothing and resource support. Partnering with homelessness programs on the state and local level, we are committed to sharing love and compassion to those in need.

Charitable Support through Giving

“For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has—not according to what one does not have.” 2 Corinthians 8:12

At All Saints’ Episcopal Church, we believe in sharing the gifts God has blessed us with to benefit the community in which we live and work. We do this through fundraisers, local events and the generosity of our congregation.

Father Jim’s Reflections, September 2024

I serve on the North American board of the Community of the Cross of Nails, an international group committed to reconciliation. It was founded after Nazi German bombers largely destroyed the city center of Coventry, leading Provost Richard Howard to call for forgiveness instead of anger. This led eventually to a reconciliation between English and German people after the war. The resulting CCN is an important ministry and a significant one for Christians. It’s particularly critical in our current age with its division and polarization. Recently, the Rev. John Witcombe, Dean of Coventry’s Cathedral in England and head of CCN’s worldwide ministry, visited Ukraine. He went to be a witness to the realities on the ground there, and to see how the Gospel is relevant to a very violent situation.

Alexander Crummell Priest, Missionary, and Educator, 1898

Born March 3, 1819, in New York City, Alexander Crummell struggled against racism all his life. As a young man, he was driven out of an academy in New Hampshire, dismissed as a candidate for Holy Orders in New York, and rejected for admittance to General Seminary. Ordained in 1844 as a priest in the Diocese of Massachusetts, he left for England after being excluded from participation in diocesan convention.

Father Jim’s Reflections, August 2024

Recently I preached on Herod’s killing of John the Baptist, an act of political violence that remains with us 2,000 years later. That same Sunday we were reminded that political violence continues to be an issue here with the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and the murder of at least one person attending the rally. The implications of this act continue to resonate through our society as I write this.

Grant, O God,

that your holy and life-giving Spirit may so move every human heart, that barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear, and hatreds cease; that our divisions being healed, we may live in justice and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Faith is Biblically Based, Focused on Jesus, and Leading to the Reconciliation of All Peoples.

Who are we at All Saints’ Tacoma and what do we believe? We are followers of Jesus Christ in the Episcopal tradition. It is our goal and purpose to create a beloved community of those who share our values.

We are committed to Christian Principles, focusing on the basic equality and inclusion of all peoples.

Our lives as followers of Jesus are based on the historic creeds and the two great sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Eucharist. We strive accordingly to be a place of refuge and sanctuary for all people. In our often divisive world, our congregation is based on love, compassion and hospitality. We believe the first step in making the world better is creating a church where people can be valued for who they are and who live our lives in imitation of Christ.
