It's a typical suburban parish.

Sometimes I found him "a bit too much." But now when I go and just hear homilies that are designed to mildly entertain and sooth me, I miss the challenge. Yet as a Catholic the main point is receiving the sacraments and growing closer to God despite the church at times. So here I find I have to separate the wheat from the chaff and challenge myself spiritually. The only adult Bible study is for men during the week. So it seems only retired men are interested in delving deeper in to scripture for some odd reason.

St. Luke's is a vibrant Episcopal (Anglican) congregation in southeast Evanston. It is one of the…read morerare mainline Protestant congregations with a growing membership. With the leadership of the outstanding rector, Rev. Kat Banakis, St. Luke's has expanded its programming with a plethora of options for people of all age groups, interests, and life stages. St. Luke's has long been known for its historic Skinner Opus 327 organ and its accomplished choir. In addition to the 10:00 AM Choral Eucharist (also streamed online), St. Luke's offers musical programming throughout the year, and it is also known as a music venue for secular performances. The parish has a well-earned reputation for social justice activism and community engagement. There are many opportunities for members to serve and a majority of St. Lukers are active participants in a ministry. While St. Luke's is an Episcopal parish, many parishioners come from diverse faith backgrounds, and there is more than a modicum of ethnic, racial, and socio-economic diversity often absent in American churches. Although the congregation is decidedly progressive and open in orientation, I think that freethinking believers and seekers of all political, philosophical, and theological persuasions can find belonging, meaning, and acceptance within the community. After cycling through and exploring many different faith communities and traditions, and having witnessed more than ten years of change and progress in the St. Luke's community, I have never been prouder to call St. Luke's my spiritual home.

This review is regarding the rental of the Upper Commons space at Glenview Community Church. Our…read moreorganization rented out this space for a group of 48 members at our annual summer social. The Upper Commons is great for groups as it is a beautiful, bright and airy space with many windows and tall ceilings. There is a newly renovated area with open granite counters and a mini refrigerator with storage that is welcoming and useful for serving drinks and food that overlooks the seating area. Dave was a joy to work with in every way, from showing us the space and signing contracts to assisting with the set up of our tables and seating on the day of the event. When a mishap occurred on our end, he was very gracious about it. Everyone had a wonderful time at our event, and this venue was perfect.

We wanted to bring our kids up in a church that felt warm, supportive and focused on biblical literacy and education rather than on dogma. After 18 years at this church, we have grown in our faith, made wonderful friendships, taken advantage of many opportunities to serve and have received support during difficult times. Our children have been enriched by the youth group and other programs that helped them develop their spiritual identity and feel the joy of service to others. The entire congregation is warm, welcoming and offers many different kinds of program for all ages to grow in their spiritual journey.

I graduated from this school back in the early 90s and returned after traveling the world. Fr. also stated that it was my peeps, the Filipinos that kept this parish still alive while so many in the Archdiocese are being closed. Orthodoxy under the radar and a love of the faith can do that. There's still a vibrant youth church and multiple ministries that help the local community. The fact that these things occur and people don't know about them show a disconnection from faith and being involved with the church in general.
