A Note from St. Bart's Clergy
''Ain’t Gonna Study War No More"
by the Reverend Deborah A. Lee
Yesterday, August 6th, was the church’s Feast of the Transfiguration. It recalls the event where Jesus takes Peter, John and James up on a mountain with him to pray. While Jesus is praying, he becomes transfigured—his appearance changes and his face and clothes become blindingly bright, dazzling and radiant.

In a four week class, Deacon John Wirenius will explore the life and legends that have gathered around the life of Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII’s chief minister. The recent publication of Hilary Mantel’s third novel about Cromwell invites us to explore what can be known about Cromwell, and to inquire whether he was a Reformer or a political partisan, and to rethink our beliefs about this seminal time in Christian History.

Please join us for one of the upcoming Interfaith ROV phone banking sessions, hosted by B'nai Jeshrun and Rabbi Brian Fink of the JCC. Phonebanking is second only to canvassing for Getting Out the Vote (GOTV). It might not seem you’re making much headway with all the unanswered, out-of-service calls, but at scale – when we’ve made thousands of dials, the effect is substantial. We need you!
