A Jacksonville Beach Episcopal School. Beaches Episcopal School is located in Jacksonville Florida. Convently located by near Jacksonville Beach. The beach nearby provides a calm enviroment for the children. Beach, gently sloping strip of land bordering an ocean or other body of water. Beaches form by the action of rivers, waves, currents, tides, and wind, and they are usually covered with sand or gravel.Beaches change shape from day to day and season to season. Waves, tides, currents, and the wind sometimes broaden a beach by depositing sand and sometimes narrow a beach by carrying sand away. Beaches along the ocean are divided into a foreshore and a backshore. The foreshore extends from the place the ocean reaches at low tide to the place it reaches at high tide. The backshore consists of the remaining portion of the beach that is only submerged during unusually high tides and storms. The steepest part of the foreshore is called the beach face. The backshore may contain one or more berms, ridges of sand and debris running parallel to the beach and deposited by a storm at its high-water mark. The backshore may also contain sand dunes, piles of sand built by wind blowing across a sandy beach.Some beaches consist chiefly of materials derived from one kind of rock, which may give the beach a distinctive color. Coral or limestone produces white sand, and quartz usually produces yellowish sand. Sands formed from volcanic rock are black. Wave action tends to carry away lighter minerals, leaving behind sand that is enriched in heavier minerals. These heavier minerals often contain valuable metals, such as titanium, zirconium, uranium, and gold, and many beaches are mined for them.Some of the world’s major recreational beaches are barrier beaches, which are formed when the action of waves and currents is not strong enough to wash sand fully to the shore. The sand is instead deposited in the water near the shore, forming a sandbar. The bar may grow outward until strong waves pile the sand high enough that it rises above water level, forming a barrier beach. Barrier beaches are generally elongated islands, but the beach may be joined to the mainland as sand and silt accumulates in the water between the two land areas. Well-known barrier beaches include those at Miami Beach, Florida; Atlantic City, New Jersey; and Coney Island in New York City.Episcopal Church, Christian denomination, organized in Philadelphia in 1789. The Episcopal Church derives its orders (ministry), doctrine, liturgy, and traditions from the Church of England, with which it is in communion (see Anglican Communion). In 2002 the Episcopal Church reported about 2.25 million members.II Doctrine and Worship Print Preview of SectionBoth Roman Catholic and evangelical traditions are represented in practices of the Episcopal Church. The doctrinal position of the church is, with certain modifications, the same as that of the Church of England. The Bible, interpreted in accordance with the findings of modern biblical scholarship, is the sole criterion in matters of dogma. The Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed are accepted as statements of faith. Similarly, the Anglican Thirty-nine Articles of Religion are held to be of historic interest, but not essential expositions of doctrine. Unlike the Church of England, the Episcopal Church does not use the Athanasian Creed.Like the Church of England, however, it believes only two sacraments, baptism and the Eucharist, were ordained by Christ; the other five sacraments, although honored, are not universally accepted as divinely instituted in the New Testament. The church as a whole accepts the standards of worship set forth in the revised Book of Common Prayer, but the separate congregations are permitted wide latitude in the observance of ceremonial. The church supports many religious orders of men and women.III Organization and Activities
Print Preview of SectionThe government of the Episcopal Church is democratic. Groups of parishes form dioceses, which may bear city, state, or regional names. The supreme policymaking body is a triennial general convention, consisting of a house of bishops and a house of deputies. Bishops and deputies, the latter including both laity and clergy, are elected by diocesan conventions to which the constituent parishes of each diocese send lay and clerical representatives.he orders of ministry in the Episcopal Church are deacons, priests, and bishops. All members of the church recognize the apostolic origin of the episcopate, but they do not necessarily accept the claim that the episcopate in its present form is identical in function with that found in the New Testament.As a member of the Anglican Communion, the denomination participates, through its bishops, in the decennial Lambeth Conferences held in London. It is a member of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States of America and of the World Council of Churches.The educational, missionary, and welfare activities of the Episcopal Church are administered by a presiding bishop, who is elected by the house of bishops, and by an executive council, the members of which are elected by the general convention and by units under the executive council. Headquarters of the presiding bishop and executive council is in New York City.Besides supporting home missions, the church maintains missionaries in the territories of the United States and in many parts of Africa, Asia, and South America. The benevolent work of the denomination includes the operation and support of numerous orphanages, homes, hospitals, and other welfare institutions and the relief and resettlement of victims of war and natural disasters. Many educational institutions, including secondary schools, were founded under the auspices of the Episcopal Church. Several unofficial periodicals are published for Episcopalians; among them are the monthly newspaper, Episcopal Life, The Witness, and The Living Church.IV History Print Preview of SectionThe Anglican tradition was brought to America by the settlers of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Throughout the colonial period the Church of England remained weak in New England, but strong in New York and Pennsylvania. In the South, where it was the preferred church of the ruling group, it was not numerically strong; however, most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence belonged to it. The majority of its clergy in New York favored Great Britain during the American Revolution, but the loyalty to the colonies of such men as Samuel Provoost, bishop of New York, secured for the church the vast holdings left to it by Queen Anne. (The enormous wealth of Trinity Church in New York City has been used to found, build, or endow more than 1,500 institutions.)When political independence was achieved, the ties that had bound the Anglican congregations to the Church of England were severed. In order to survive, the church needed a national organization and a native episcopate. These ends were not easily attained, for divergent views on lay representation in church government divided the congregations, and English law required bishops consecrated by Church of England prelates to swear allegiance to the British crown. In September 1785 a convention of delegates from the various Anglican congregations, most of which had adopted by this time the name Protestant Episcopal.
