Join us in the liturgies of this holy time of year as fully as you are able, walking with Jesus and our own Ascension community from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the footwashing and meal in the upper room on Maundy Thursday; from the horror of the crucifixion on Good Friday to the strange wonder of the empty tomb on the eve of Easter Sunday. In moving through this drama liturgically we often find that our understanding and faith are deepened and strengthened,
and we are changed.

Father Ed explores the viral trend of people (especially men) frequently thinking about the Roman Empire, then reveals his own: God. The Roman Empire references in Luke’s gospel first connected him to God’s presence in human history. With Sunday’s scriptures focusing on reconciliation (Joseph, the Canaanite woman), he invites us to consider how reconciliation happens at ground level, guided by the Spirit, and asks: What’s your Roman Empire?
Listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. Ed Chinery on the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, August 9, 2026.
Father Ed shares his deepened meditation practice from July, describing how simply abiding—being present without judgment—becomes a place of refuge and peace. While this personal solace is valuable, he emphasizes the greater intention of cultivating universal compassion and equalizing self with others. He invites us to reflect on our own refuge and how faith deepens our practice of loving-kindness.
Sundays, weekdays, and special holy days, worship is the heart of our life together. It may be what your heart is seeking too.

Be transported by the voices of our classically trained choir, the notes from our world-renowned organ, and the joys of congregational singing.
Through volunteer work, advocacy, fundraising and community engagement, we find that faith with good works is a spiritually healthy combination.
Every Sunday, our worship is illuminated by some of the greatest examples of 19th and 20th century American religious art. Come see for yourself.
Our church building is one of the earliest examples of Gothic Revival — designed by the man who probably did more than any other to create that revival.
Founded in 1827 on Canal Street, by 1841 Ascension had arrived at its present home in Greenwich Village as the first church on New York’s famous Fifth Avenue.
We live out our faith in many different ways — with children, the hungry, the oppressed, and with each other.
