Mood: a-ok
Welcome to these Anglican Pages. I discovered a wonderful Episcopal Church within walking distance of where I live. It is in a beautiful old Gothic structure, with Tiffany stained-glass windows, and decoration so thick, it reminds me of Trinity Church, Boston, where, when you look up, there is not a single inch unadorned.
The other thing about this church is the astonishing quality of the music.The choir is as good as that at the Church of the Advent in Boston, and we get to sing a lot, as well.
There is still more: this parish welcomes the homeless, offering coffee and friendship throughout the week. Given the obvious social standing of many communicants, that is something I did not expect. Someone has been preaching real, active, face-to-face compassion to these folks.
This is a great place to re-engage with the Episcopal Church, after more than a decade away.
