On Wednesday, November 6, our usual 6 pm Eucharist will be focused on our need for healing, justice and peace in our hearts, our nation and our world. All are welcome! Please join us at the Church of the Ascension — Fifth Avenue at Tenth Street — and invite a friend.
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.
Listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. Ed Chinery on the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, August 2, 2026.
