A Welcome to Incarnation For over 150 years, we in the Incarnation family have welcomed New Yorkers and visitors from out of town to our landmark building. God has blessed us with nationally renowned stained glass, murals, sculpture and wood-carving; a strong musical tradition; and numerous community-based outreach ministries. We are also fortunate to be able to build on a rich intellectual heritage. Led in the 19th century by clergy in the Anglican "Broad Church" movement, Incarnation worked for progressive social causes such as the abolition of slavery and the education of women. Its clergy also introduced new scientific and political thinking into Christian theology. Today, our parish builds on this tradition with different study groups for adults and many other programs for the parish and the community. In our worship, we try to present a number options for worship, ranging from formal liturgy on Sunday mornings to informal worship on Sunday evening and during the week. We intend our services to appeal to people of all Episcopal "parties," as well as to a growing number of visitors with other Christian and non-Christian backgrounds, and to those with no religious training at all. We hope you will be able to visit our church in person soon, and we welcome your comments and questions on the material in this web site. J.
