Who We Are

Emmanuel is a neighborhood church, a downtown church, a regional church.  Its people hail about 50/50 from both city and suburbs, and are a diverse and spirited lot who come together for worship, friendship, discussion, learning, and fun!  You’ll see families young and old, singles, gay couples … all brought together by the special spirit that is Emmanuel Church in downtown Baltimore.  Oh, and did we mention the music!  Emmanuel is proud to have a long tradition of excellent music, and its 10:30 Sunday morning service features a professional choir and our new Letourneau pipe organ.  Come for the music, all else will fall into place!

Terry Eagleton on the God Debate

Terry Eagleton's book Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate, offers a devasting critique of recent works by Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens (whom he refers to collectively as "Ditchkins").  It is brilliant, provocative, and very, very funny.  It is based on his 2008 Terry Lectures delivered at Yale.  You can view these lectures on the link below.
