The uniqueness of this congregation within the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado is its liturgical character. It is a bi-ritual community, using for its Western Rite the 1979 Book of Common Prayer.
Eastern
And using for its Eastern Rite a revised version of the Byzantine liturgical books and calendar of New Skete Orthodox Monastery.
