Welcome!
It is 8:45:22 PM
on Wednesday, August 27, 2008
in Fort Worth.

The mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth is “To Equip the Saints for the Work of Ministry.”

We are a traditional, orthodox diocese of the Anglican Communion, committed to the mission of Jesus Christ, here and abroad. Both anglo-catholic and evangelical expressions of the faith are celebrated in the 55 congregations of the diocese. Upholding the authority of the Holy Scriptures, maintaining theological orthodoxy, and practicing evangelism are important priorities in our common life and ministry.

St. Mary’s, Hamilton
celebrates 140th anniversarythe altar at St. Mary's, Hamilton
Above, Nora Katherine Teague lifts the 1904 crocheted frontal to reveal the carving on the church's altar. The holy table was constucted by one of St. Mary's first vicars and is almost as old as the congregation, which was founded as a house church in 1868. The church's pulpit, not shown, was built by another vicar more than 50 years ago.
