Memorial Episcopal Church of Baltimore

Memorial Church is a progressive faith community rooted in the orthodox traditions of Christianity. We affirm belief in the Trinity, Christ as the Son of God, and scripture as the inspired Word of God, while embracing diverse understandings of these tenets. We believe Christ came for the meek, lowly, and lost, and that the Church must welcome all people—regardless of race, background, or identity—without barriers to God’s love.

Memorial affirms the full inclusion of all God’s people at the altar, regardless of race, gender, orientation, or identity. We proudly led historic firsts in Maryland, including calling a female priest, an openly LGBT priest, and performing a same-sex blessing.

We are also reckoning with our history of supporting segregation and the legacy of slavery until the 1960s, working actively to "repair the breach," as called for by the prophet Isaiah.
