Following the 2006 Episcopal General Convention St. Thomas’ Parish (Dupont Circle) in Washington, DC sponsored a program titled "A Conversation with Bishop Gene Robinson: Reflections on the 2006 General Convention." Bishop Robinson’s powerful remarks led the parish to produce a professional quality DVD of his presentation. It is with pleasure that St. Thomas’ offers this program to the church at large with our gratitude for the leadership, vision and inspiration that Bishop Robinson’s brings to the church’s dialogue on the current tensions within the Anglican Communion. More than 900 complimentary copies of the DVD were sent to church leaders throughout the Episcopal Church and international Anglican Community so that Bishop Robinson’s message could be heard by a broader audience.

Work and prayer are not mutually exclusive activities.

That's the basis for "Pockets of Prayer," a new initiative of St. Thomas' to encourage parishioners who work in same neighborhood to gather once a week for brief, midday prayer.

Although the Parish conducts a midday service on Wednesdays, it's nearly impossible for most parishioners to attend... 

As of April 2007, the church payroll is now being processed through Paychex. This now allows for staff to receive payroll through direct deposit and will ensure that all payroll taxes and filings are processed in a timely fashion.

Also, in June St. Thomas' retained Garner Gore and Associates LLP to perform bookkeeping services. Nicole Garner is currently the key person providing services to the Parish and she may be reached at bookkeeper@stthomasdc.org. 

Please join us for these current Education & Formation activities!

We are excited and pleased to announce that in response to increased Sunday attendance, the 5:00 pm Taizé Eucharist will continue every Sunday beginning September 9, 2007.

The Rev. Henry Hurd Breul was born in 1926. A native of Bridgeport, CT, he was the great-grandson of P.T. Barnum, a fact which explains (in part) his abundant zest for life and rich humor. (He did, after all, commission the Marimekko flowered chasuble from his friend, the Rev. Vienna Anderson, a maker of liturgical vestments and former rector of our sister parish, St. Margaret's.)
