Pride 365

As an Episcopal church, Trinity Church Wall Street fully welcomes and affirms lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people. We proclaim that all are made in the image of God, and everyone is invited to participate fully in Trinity’s worship, programs, and advocacy work.

Throughout the year, we share stories of leading LGBTQ+ advocates through articles, videos, and events as part of our Pride 365 program. And, each June, our community marks Pride Month, inviting everyone to celebrate and recognize the glorious way in which God has created the diversity of humanity.

Refuge and Resilience: an LGBTQ+ Retreat

In this retreat, the Rev. Matt Welsch of Trinity Church Wall Street invites participants to reflect on the idea of refuge, and consider how we might draw on these places of sanctuary to find strength and resilience in our unique, God-given identities. The content of this retreat has been developed primarily LGBTQ+ participants – allies may benefit by tuning in as well.

Pulse Memorial Service

Monday, June 14, 2021

To commemorate the anniversary of the Pulse Massacre, we honor all the LGBTQ+ lives lost to homophobia and transphobia at our 12:05pm Holy Eucharist service. In his sermon, the Rev. Matt Welsch reminds us that the church can learn much from our LGBTQ+ siblings who have endured, "afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger. And responded with purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and yes the power of God.”
