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.
Trinity Church Wall Street has announced a new collaboration with Jazz House Kids, a preeminent arts education and performance organization in Montclair, NJ, to provide free, professional jazz education for children, as well as a series of free jazz concerts for the public at its historic downtown churches.
Last Sunday, we heard a parable about wasting treasures. In that case, the treasure was lots of extra grain. We also mentioned intangible treasures — things that aren’t objects, things you can’t touch or see or own, things like friendship, memories, talent, beauty, joy, and kindness. What can we do to value those kinds of treasures?
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.
Knowing what is enough can be the greatest gift that parents, and faith, can teach children and seekers. Our riches, or “treasure,” aren’t only about things that are tangible. And knowing what is enough is not about self-denial or capacity limits, because Jesus taught and showed us that God’s kin-dom on earth as it is in heaven is one of abundance, not of scarcity — and there is enough for all.
