The Search Committee spent the winter months culling our pool of applicants down to a small group of candidates to present to the Canon for Transition Ministry. Our list of candidates has now been vetted and approved by Canon Tammearu and Bishop Dietsche, and we are moving forward with the interview phase. We will be conducting interviews with candidates over the next few weeks, after which members of the committee will arrange to visit to each one. We expect the interviews to be completed in mid-June. Thank you for your continuing prayers.

Parish News: November 15
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz shares how a historian’s request about Pete and Toshi Seeger’s 1943 wedding led to a discovery: the couple married in Ascension’s All Saints Chapel. The marriage register also revealed the officiant, Edward George Harris, a former assistant priest here who later became a distinguished Episcopal leader. As we celebrate our bicentennial, the parish is collecting stories of its saints and its place in New York and Episcopal history, sharing these findings in the weekly newsletter.
