John’s, a strong opponent of slavery, planned and built this multiracial parish in 1826, while slavery continued to be the law of the state of New York. We remain a multiracial community, welcoming all people and rejoicing in our diversity of age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and cultural background, as we join the wider church in seeking to restore all people to unity wit

h God and each other through Christ. We are committed to serve God and one another through the beauty of Anglo-Catholic worship, outreach to our community, education of ourselves and our children, and engaging warm fellowship. We seek new ideas and opinions of visitors and new members to our community, remembering that in welcoming the stranger, we are welcoming Christ.
