Celebrating God’s Presence in Our Lives

 

       The Indian Hill EPISCOPAL-PRESBYTERIAN Church is one of only a few successful dual denominations in our country.  More than one-half century ago our church began as a fully constituted dual denomination under the auspices of our two regional governing bodies: The Southern Ohio Diocese of the Episcopal Church and the Presbytery of Cincinnati. Our informal roots go back even further. 

      The primary foundational concept was this: to provide a local church that would meet the needs of Episcopalians and Presbyterians living in the Indian Hill area, and to do so intentionally as an experiment in ecumenicity. There were risks involved in this experiment owing mostly to denominational differences. And yet Episcopalians and Presbyterians here were prepared to make this gesture because the rewards so clearly seemed to outweigh those risks. 
      Now, after more than 50 years we can safely say that our church is no longer an experiment in ecumenicity. It works! We have shown here that we can accept those denominational differences, be enriched by them, and use them in the creation of new traditions.  
 
      In other words, we have shown that religious diversity can be an asset and not at all a liability. An asset for ourselves, certainly; and also for those parts of the world where religious diversity still can cause people to do terrible things to each other. 

      As stewards, our challenge- and invitation to you - is to do whatever we can to keep this unique church strong.
