Trinity Episcopal Church of Morrisania

Episcopal Church located in the Morrisania section of the Bronx. Sunday service at 10 a.m. -- all are welcome! In 1906 under the guidance of Reverend Clifford S.

Trinity Episcopal Church of Morrisania, is the oldest building in the district and is located to the south of the two main blocks of the district across from Morris High School. The initial congregation formed in 1868 and laid the cornerstone of the present building in 1874. An 1880 foreclosure on the property led to a new congregation occupying the building under the name of the Church of the Hol

y Faith. A rectory (just outside the district border to the east of the church) was built in 1889 and the cornerstone for the Parish Hall, called Smith Memorial Hall, was laid in 1905. Gregg, who had previously been the curate of St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan, the Morrisania church was redecorated and polychromed in Victorian Gothic style. The first parish, still meeting in the neighborhood, joined with the newer group in 1923 and reverted to the name of Trinity Church. Between 1874 and 1900 the church stood in near isolation between the Rodgers and Cauldwell estates, though it served a surprisingly large constituency in the southern Bronx, far beyond the scale suggested by the relatively small building. A modest though distinctive example of the High Victorian Gothic style, the building is a notable addition to the district. The architect of the church is unknown and has not, as yet, been located in the church records. The red brick church sits on an elevated site facing East 166th Street, adding greatly to the strong visual and architectural quality of the street established by the Morris High School. The High Victorian Gothic design is composed of a Thigh central nave section with steeply pitched roof flanked by low side aisles. Small, narrow pointed arch windows with fine stained glass light the aisles and a clerestory level on three sides. The gabled entrance porch repeats the steep verticality of the nave and contains paneled double doors set in a pointed-arch opening. Serving at the Parish Hall, the later (1905) Smith Memorial Hall is at the rear of the church and repeats the red brick facing and pointed-arch windows of the main building in a compatible and sympathetic manner. It rises above a rough stone base. The rectory, located to the east of the church, has been excluded from the district because of the extensive loss of architectural integrity resulting from residing.

A sermon for the Last Sunday after Epiphany from three years ago.

Violence and dying are familiar to us and easy to digest, but what about resurrection? Is that just wishful thinking? Is it just a placeholder, do we just ignore it? Jesus took these three disciples, the first ones he called, to show them something different, a new and different life, triumphant and in the presence of God—yet inextricably linked with those things that these disciples were afraid to face—rejection, suffering, death.

The prophet’s call to repentance may be painful and inconvenient to hear, but it is not scolding. Repentance is not about feeling bad and doing less-obviously bad things. Repentance is the opposite of that—it is about hope and giving up on self-serving injustice and cowardice.

These things, our people, are all witnesses to the power of the humility of God come among us in Jesus. And in Advent we join in the expectation that God will come as loving and merciful judge—eliminating the fear and violence that shakes this world and bringing the abundance of generosity and humility.

This story about the sheep and the goats might tempt some to try to keep score: how many times did I help the needy? How many times did I fail to see Jesus? But Jesus’ teaching is not about keeping score. It’s about character. What sort of people are we becoming? You notice that both groups, both the blessed and the accursed, are surprised by their status. The reason for this is not because it is some sort of secret magical trick meant to keep us on edge. The blessed don’t know because it has become so much of their character to respond with generosity and respect to everyone—particularly those who are hungry or thirsty or alone—that it doesn’t even occur to them to do it any other way.

The kingdom of God is here and is coming, we do not know the hour when we need to be ready. At every hour we need to be thoughtful, ready to celebrate with the joyful and ready to mourn with those who mourn. This living business, especially abundant and joyful living, is not about us, it is about reaching out and respecting others, realizing the possibilities of loving for God’s sake in our lives.

Those white robed multitudes are witnesses to the truth—the truth of God’s compassion, healing, and deliverance of the poor and the oppressed. And the powers of the world, the powers of oppression and servants of Mammon don’t want that; it exposes and challenges them. Thus, the ordeal that God’s saints experience. While sometimes it’s the whole nine yards of classic martyrdom, other times it’s gaslighting and disrespect, doling out blame rather than help. But the saints, then and now, rejoice in the opportunity to serve and worship God.

God’s love is likewise infinite and it is not subject to manipulation—by magic, or self-serving rhetoric, or use of power over others, or by any attempt to turn the Gospel upside down.
We like to duck out of our responsibility to the one God, who created everything that is and who loves even the poorest of god’s creatures, and find some kind of religious expression that will confirm our prejudices and privileges. It’s always a temptation.

Serving Caesar and serving Mammon were the same. For Jesus, the question wasn’t the taxes or parsing out what was required and what was allowed for people who were trying to survive and get by. It was about the entrapment his adversaries were bringing, entrapment in death by serving Mammon and the occupying armies of the Romans rather than serving the God of life.

We rejoice in God’s gift of one another, even when being with each other is limited or not possible at all. Being church at a time like this requires much of that gentleness—flexibility, kindness, and peace in the knowledge of God’s love. As constrained as our lives have been and as uncertain, we know that God’s love for us in Jesus Christ is here.

The powers of death are not an alternate God, they are powers and things within this world which take advantage of the fears, selfishness and dishonesty of human beings. We moderns tend to think that we have outgrown such things, but they are very much real and very much with us.
