Good news for our youth programs!
Dear All,
I am delighted to announce that David Bryan has been appointed Youth Group Coordinator for St. Barnabas and the Irvington Presbyterian Church, beginning February 1. This new part-time position will combine the youth programs for high school and middle school students of both congregations supervised by The Rev. Blaine Crawford and myself. Originally from North Carolina, David has lived in NYC for two decades, devoting his energy to both music and church in a variety of professional settings, most recently at St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue. David’s faith was shaped in the great Christian Youth Camp and Conference tradition, giving him a true passion for helping youngsters find and lay claim to a lively and living faith. Notably, David holds a BA in Music and an MA in Theology from Union Theological Seminary; he also plays a number of instruments, including the mandolin, guitar, and piano. I very much look forward to welcoming our middle school and high school members into what I hope will become a fun and enriching experience for them, and an attractive program for new members joining our respective churches.
Onward in the Light of Christ,
Gareth+

Honoring the Life and Legacy of Pauli Murray
Pauli Murray was the first African-American woman to be ordained as an Episcopal priest (1977). But this doesn't begin to describe her significance as an advocate for human freedom. She was a civil rights activist; the top graduate from her class at Howard University law school (where she was the only female student); author of the book that Thurgood Marshall called the bible of the civil rights movement; a co-founder of the National Organization for Women; and a pioneer of LGBTQ rights.
Join us when REPAIR explores and honors the story of this remarkable individual. Our panelists will include the Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Kaeton, Professor Katherine Franke of Columbia Law School, and Dennis Parker, executive director of the National Center for Law and Economic Justice. All three are deeply knowledgeable about Pauli Murray and her impact on our world. We'll also view an excerpt from the acclaimed documentary film about Pauli Murray recently released on Amazon. It should be a memorable evening!
Wednesday, February 16
7:30PM - 9:00PM
Advance registration is not required; just click on the Zoom link at the scheduled date and time.
