Spiritual Life > Chaplain’s Corner

Brandon Peete

I am proud to serve as Chaplain of All Saints Episcopal School, a community that actively promotes Episcopal identity through worship, theology, education, and practice. In doing so, we focus on unity, peace, inclusion and acceptance in all facets of life together. Our worship is intentionally liturgical, our community is intentionally diverse, and our course offerings are intentionally inquisitive and thought-provoking. Using this approach, we strive to welcome and nurture each and every student on this campus as a unique child of God.

 

It is a wonderful thing to witness Episcopal identity lived out each day on this campus. These are just a few of the things that make All Saints Episcopal School and all Episcopal schools wonderful places to grow and learn.

 

“What are the principal qualities that distinguish a school as Episcopal?”

NAES, the National Association of Episcopal Schools

 

A Community of Faithfulness

Episcopal schools are created to be communities that honor, celebrate and worship God as the center of life.

 

A Community that models God’s love and grace

Episcopal schools model serving God in Christ in all persons, regardless of origin, background, ability or religion; strive for justice and peace among all people; and respect the dignity of every human being through Community Service locally, nationally and internationally.

 

A Diverse Community

Episcopal schools are populated by religious, cultural and economic diversity among their students.

 

A Multi-faith Community in Worship and Prayer

All who attend and work in them – Episcopalians and non-Episcopalians, Christians and non-Christians, people of no faith tradition – attend Weekly Chapel and worship services as they seek clarity about their own beliefs and religions and to honor those traditions more fully and faithfully in their own lives.

 

A Community of Empowerment

Above all, Episcopal schools demonstrate and proclaim the unique worth and beauty of all human beings as creations of a loving, empowering God.

 

By weaving these principles into the very fabric of the school’s overall life, Episcopal schools ensure that their missions are built on the sure foundation of a Christian love that guides and challenges all who attend our schools to build lives of genuine meaning, purpose and service in the world they will inherit.
