Dear Brothers and Sisters,
On Sunday thousands of New Yorkers came out and into the streets to walk in solidarity with and loyalty to the one and a half million Jews of the New York City metropolitan region, in outrage and sorrow for the rapidly escalating pattern of anti-Semitic violence across America and in this our own New York. Episcopalians from our diocese participated in the March, and our whole church joins in condemning the rise in incidents of anti-Semitic violence in America. We offer and express to the Jewish Community whom we count as our dear neighbors and friends our love and sorrow, and our promise to stand with them against these rising forces of hate and destruction.

As of December 6th, it became official! Our beloved supply priest, the Rev. Dr. Charles Mayer, signed his contract for quarter time work with us here at the Sister Parishes.
As we all have learned, he brings unusual talent to this work. “Charlie” offers insight, guidance, and an ever-listening ear. He will be covering for Rev. Cooper Conway one Sunday each month and also coming into the parishes one day each week (divided evenly between the two.) His title is Assisting Priest and his weekly duties will be largely centered on pastoral visitations.
As we get closer to 2020, a rough calendar of his coverage will be published… (Click title to read the full announcement.)
Throughout the three-year cycle of lectionary readings, each of which is built around one of the Synoptic Gospels, there are Sundays that depart from the Synoptic Gospel – this year it is Matthew – and bring us a text from the Gospel of John. So, we never get a chance to follow John through week after week for an entire year. I sometimes regret this, though there is good reason for it. But what it does for us is require us to make sure that when we have a passage from John, we don’t miss the opportunity to explore it deeply, so that over the years we may develop as deep a sense of this gospel as we have of the other three.
