Welcome to A Cruce Salus

Welcome to the blog for the Church of the Holy Cross. This blog was created as a supplement to the church website at www.chcpgh.org. While the website has general information about Holy Cross, the blog will contain more up to date information about what is happening at Holy Cross and the wider Homewood-Brushton, as well as, Episcopal Community. Articles about events occurring at Holy Cross will be posted to this blog as well as pictures from such events, and if I can get our rector to consent to it, her sermons. We will also be posting information about the upcoming Diocesan Convention and its aftereffects particularly as they pertain to Holy Cross.

Holy Cross is on the record as opposing the vote to realign the Diocese of Pittsburgh to the Southern Cone, and if the diocese is realigned, she will continue to serve her mission as a proud member parish of the Episcopal Church. We are a diverse parish with many views pertaining to the recent actions of the Episcopal Church, pro and con. However, the congregants of this parish believe that separating ourselves from the Episcopal Church in order to realign with another Church in the Anglican Communion is wrong.

Oh, and about the name of the blog "A Cruce Salus?" That is Latin for "From the Cross, comes salvation." There are quite a few instances where this term has been used on the Internet, but I felt that this phrase would be perfect for the title of our blog considering that our church is named for the insturment of our salvation, the Holy Cross on which Jesus Christ was sacrificed for us.
