“When we make the sign of the cross at home or during Sunday worship, we are not simply bookending our prayers,” writes Trinity’s Faith Formation team, reflecting on the mystery of the Holy Trinity. “We are proclaiming something astounding about the nature of God.

NOVUS NY and Downtown Voices present the New York premiere of Reena Esmail’s Malhaar: A Requiem for Water, paired with Garth Neustadter’s Memory of Water, which will be performed by The Choir of Trinity Wall Street. A malhar is an Indian raga designed to beckon the rain; Esmail’s ARequiem for Water captures musically the beauty and awe of water while contemplating the fear and despair that surround its loss. As water exists beyond all beginnings and ends, Memory of Water considers the consciousness of water and how it carries in its memory both the splendor and devastation of our world.
