REC100 Resources

Developed and implemented by Bishop Sutton and members at the Pro-Cathedral Church of the Holy Communion parish in Dallas, TX, Veritas:What is Truth? is a seeker ministry program that provides an opportunity for believers and seekers to share a meal and openly discuss five stories from the Gospel of St. John that center around the question Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, "What is truth?" Veritas is designed to help lead people our front-porch ministries deeper into the home and life of the parish and to begin a process of discipleship.

The Veritas kit contains a Leader's Manual with participant question, how-to guide for hosting a Veritas session, and Powerpoint slides with notes for the presenter. A link will also be provided to you which will allow you access to an online version of the material. Additionally, you can request marketing material such as calling cards and Veritas brochures. 

REC100 is currently working on providing a Video instruction guide and online videos of the actual Veritas presentations by Bishop Sutton. These should be available online in the Fall.

The REC Church Planting Guide will help explain the process of church planting in the Reformed Episcopal Church as well as criteria for receiving REC100 grants. This is a good place to start if you or your parish are interested in planting a new parish.

The normal steps to take are:

  1. Pre-Screen Meeting

  2. Planter Evaluation

  3. Missional Plan

  4. Interviews

  5. Determinations

  6. Preparation & Equipping

  7. Implementing the Missional Plan

If you are ready to plant a parish, you can request a pre-screen meeting online.
