Our assistant rector, the Rev. John Dwyer, is the subject of the “Queery” a feature column of the Washington Blade that asks twenty questions of local DC gays and lesbians.

The article is available at the Blade website. Or can be viewed here.

St. Thomas' Parish is featured in the July edition of the Washington Window. The Window is the newspaper of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. It is delivered by mail once a month. The article describes Episcopal participation in Capital Pride including St. Thomas' affirmation of couples service and the booth, picnic and parade. You can read the article online at the Diocesan website.

The first CD of music performed by our own choir is available for purchase at the St. Thomas' Parish website. The CD features anthems, spirituals and psalms. There are four anthems by Herbert Howells that are suitable for Christmas or spiritual contemplation. The spirituals include "Balm in Gilead" and "My Lord, What A Mourning".

Friends -

HELLO FROM SUNNY PHOENIX, ARIZONA! I arrived here just a few days ago after a long drive across the country that took me through 11 states and through the homes of a number of friends and family members. I am keeping myself quite busy getting things in order to begin my Master's program in Higher and Postsecondary Education at Arizona State University.
