St Joseph’s Episcopal Church

A lovely little church, founded around 1909 with a long and amazing history and a friendly, eclectic group of parishioners. It doesn’t have a lot of members, the latest AV equipment (or possibly any at all outside of the organ), or the fanciest garden, but it’s a church that suffered a huge split during the issue over the Episcopal church’s first gay bishop (the previous one stormed out because he was outspokenly against blessing LGBT and took many with him to form one of the Anglican churches in the area) and lost a lot of members due to its support of the LGBT community. Even with its just-​now recovering numbers and skeleton budget, it manages to support prayer and breakfasts every morning for the homeless, and its congregation will pitch in to support various families in need.
A small community of Eastern Orthodox hold their services in part of their parish hall as well, and it’s great to see traditions from both communities here. The Episcopal service has a very traditional service with very thoughtful sermons in a meditative environment. Everything these people do is earnest and humble, which I find unfortunately rare among places of worship nowadays.
