The article also mentions she sings at our church and has a new album, Sunken Cathedral, which “explores the structural parallels between the vaulted construction of a church and its organ and that of a human chest, with both producing sound by moving air through pipes.” Bora will perform much of that album at the Asia Society at 8pm this Wednesday, April 23rd. We are so blessed to know Bora as our singer and Vestry member at Ascension.

Listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. Ed Chinery on the Sixth Sunday of Easter, May 10, 2026.
In this week’s newsletter, the rector reflects on “Glorians”—a term from Terry Tempest Williams describing encounters with grace and wonder in the natural world, like an ant carrying a pink blossom across the desert or the discovery that ancient horseshoe crabs have blue blood used to test vaccine purity. These ordinary, extraordinary moments reveal our vulnerability and connection with creation, calling us to lament, praise, and care. Mother Liz links this to Sunday’s gospel promise that we dwell in Christ and Christ in us—a mysterious communion revealed to those who love, inviting us to be present to the holy in the everyday.
