Prior to the opening performance of Craig Hella Johnson’s epic fusion oratorio, Considering Matthew Shepard, a panel of experts will discuss spiritual violence and its connection to physical violence targeting LGBTQ+ people. Queerphobic spiritual violence is so pervasive that it can almost be difficult to see. Naming this violence and characterizing its impact is an imperative first step toward change and healing.

Trinity's Rector, the Rev. Phillip A. Jackson, rings the Bell of Hope in St. Paul’s Churchyard in a pattern of “four fives” (five strikes, repeated four times), the traditional firefighters’ salute to the fallen. Following prayers, the bell is rung precisely at 8:46am, the time when the first plane crashed into 1 World Trade Center (North Tower).
The bell, a gift from London to New York City a year after the attacks, is rung on September 11 anniversaries and to remember victims of terrorism and mass shootings. Join us for this brief and moving service on September 11, 2022.
Trinity's new pipe organs include the Noack organ in St. Paul’s Chapel; a pipe organ built by Richards Fowkes & Co. for the Chapel of All Saints; and the grandest of them all, an eight-thousand pipe instrument manufactured in Germany, in Trinity Church.
In part two of her series on stained glass at Trinity Church Wall Street, Dr. Susan Ward explores the evolving theology demonstrated by the stained glass in the Chapel of All Saints.
Susan Ward, art professor, Vestry member, and parishioner of Trinity Church Wall Street, leads a tour of the stained glass in the nave of Trinity Church.
"Today, on this beautiful day, we celebrate the pathways to love and the pathways to life," reflected the Rev. Kristin Kaulbach Miles at the 9:15 Family Service on Pride Sunday.
