First, I have to say I'm surprised no one has called out this great church and community partner…read more I'm not Episcopalian, but if I were, I would totally be a member of this congregation. Why? 1. They are the hosts of the Ardmore Food Pantry, which helps each week over 70 families make ends meet. 2. They host free community potluck dinners simply to promote a sense of community. 3. They turned part of their lawn into a garden that grows fresh food that goes to pantry guests. 4. They have a beautiful hall and kitchen that they rent out at a shamefully affordable price. The only catches here are that you clean up after and empty your trash and that they only permit serving beer and wine along with non-alcoholic drinks. Fine by me. I have been a part of many community events here and to a person they are kind, responsive and clear. They're good people who truly work to serve the entire community.

I have grown in my faith here and met some really wonderful people to do the faith journey with. Unique to this church is that they have a Prayer Room where you may go and receive prayer at the close of every Sunday service and their community groups all have a Kingdom Partner as a way to extend the hands and feet of Jesus into the community. As a creative person myself (and lover of the music and arts), I personally love that there are so many artists, musicians, songwriters, poets to connect with. But first and foremost, it's so rare to find a church that really puts Jesus first and cares about the community. If you're looking for a truly authentic place to grow in your faith in Jesus, give 6:8 a try.

I thought this was a wonderful contribution towards those who may be in need around this time of year. Helping families in need is a wonder and I knew I just HAD to donate my loafers. I was so excited to make a poor persons day but of course. This church would not let me donate my shoes due to the fact that they were "too worn". I understand that there is a point of shoes being too worn, but these babies were not. A few spots of mud never hurt anyone, especially those in need. A person who is running out of shoes does not care about a speck of mud, but play Grace Chapel. It honestly made me question my religion, but I am an avid God worshipper, so it only messed up my day. I love god still and I actually drove into Philly to give my shoes away because I wasn't going to let them go to waste. Thanks a lot Grace Chapel for taking my gas.

It has an extensive music program and a highly subscribed church school. The parish is comprised of persons of all ages who are committed to the centrality of worship, the nurturing of prayerful living, and the call of God that sends us out to the world. It strives to live-out the distinct Christian tradition of Anglicanism through "via media" (middle ground) finding common perspectives on issues that may tend to divide others. The mailing address of the parish is 230 Pennswood Road (the Parish House). The Church is located on the corner of Pennswood and New Gulph Roads (200 Pennswood Road). Sunday worship: 7:45am Holy Eucharist (spoken) 9:00am Holy Eucharist (the principal service with music & choirs) 11:15am a monthly rotation of Holy Eucharist, Choral Matins, Morning Prayer.

It's an interfaith "resort" for the soul and spirit, run by progressive Roman Catholic nuns who are are kind, welcoming, and very encouraging of people of all faiths converging on their peaceful, beautiful RESIDENTIAL facility in order to meditate, or pray, for the purpose of refreshing one's spirit and calming one's mind. In May 2013 I attended a 2-night silent "Insight/Vipassana" meditation retreat idirected by Matthew Daniell (of the Cambridge Insight Meditation Society) who had in turn been invited to Haverford, PA by the Phildelphia Meditation Center. Note that non-Catholic retreats are not likely to be listed directly on St. Raphaela's retreat calendar - I suggest you google "meditation retreat + Saint Raphaela" to find a Buddhist-/meditation-oriented retreat scheduled at St. Raphaela . Depending on the retreat program you choose to attend you may be able to get a single room or a shared room. Accomodations are clean, bright and simple - NO frills, but cheerful, quiet and very comfortable. The nuns who run the retreat center are good cooks but don't expect the Four Seasons (the retreat I attended was lacto-ovo vegetarian). Desserts were REALLY yummy. ; )) The grounds are lovely and provide ample personal space for "retreatants" and lots of room for walking meditation. In short, you can experience a truly serene and "life-resetting" retreat experience here that is far less expensive that what you would pay at high price-tag "trendy" places like OMEGA or KRIPALU. Easy to get to from 'center city" Philadelphia by a quick commuter train ride plus a short taxi jaunt, or you can take a cab from the Philly city center all the way for about $45.
