"Pauli Murray, The Problem"
by The Reverend Peter Thompson, Associate Rector
In the spring of 1957—six and half years before the March on Washington—the parish of St. Bartholomew’s had a brush with one of the most fascinating and significant figures in the history of the civil rights movement, the women’s rights movement, the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and the Episcopal Church.

Spring has come to New York City and the COVID infection rates in the City are declining. Thanks be to God! We have resumed in-person worship at St. Bart’s on Sundays at 9 am and 5 pm and we will resume our regular schedule over time. It is still important to reserve a seat. We will continue to ask all attendees to remain masked through the service and to maintain appropriate social distancing. We will make the use of masks optional when we are advised to do so by the diocese, the city, the state, and by our own medical advisors. We joyfully welcome you back! Learn more and register here.

Giving is more than a responsibility—it is a privilege; more than an act of obedience—it is evidence of our faith.
William Arthur Ward, American educator
Your financial support is an affirmation and testament of faith in the abundance of God’s gifts in our worship, music, educational programs, and all that we do. We are very grateful for your past support. Your continued giving not only supports what we are doing now, but is the seed for possibilities yet unknown.
