The Ascension WEB Site

The advent of the "information age" created a new medium that could some day replace print media as the dominant method of transmitting information. That medium of course is the World Wide Web on the Internet. The Episcopal Church of the Ascension recognizes the need to utilize this medium to spread the good news of Christ. This web site attempts to focus on many activities but it tries to do four things well. Charles Lane, founder of the Church News Service (Church of England) put it this way:

  • Gospel:    Items dealing with the Church's teaching and worship

  • Acts:    Stories of things happening in the life of the Church

  • Epistles:    Comment and reflection linking faith and daily living

  • Revelation:    wit and wisdom to illuminate the rest

Most importantly, our site is another tool to tell our community about our Lord and a Christian community of believers in Knoxville, Tennessee known as the Church of the Ascension.
