Diocese of New York

Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, New York
BCP(US) Choral Evensong
Year of visit: Dec 2018

The largest church Anglican cathedral in North America. It is a massive church. It was interesting to do evensong at an Episcopalian church because all references to the Queen has been removed.

Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Times Square
BCP(US) Sung Communion
Anglo-Catholic
Year of visit: Dec 2018

I chose this church because it was the “highest” in NYC. Nicknamed “Smokey Marys,” they use incense very liberally, though they use whole wheat leavened bread for the communion.

St Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue
BCP(US) Sung Communion
Anglo-Catholic
Year of visit: Dec 2019
Website: https://www.saintthomaschurch.org/
A very beautiful church with high churchmanship. The use of incense was more t tempered than that of St Mary the Virgin. I thought it was odd that they served champagne during coffee hour, but its New York.
