If you will be in the Boston area for July 4, we hope you’ll join us for our annual Independence Day celebration! Throughout the day, there will be dramatic readings of the Declaration of Independence in the sanctuary, complete with booing and hissing at the mention of the king.
In our courtyard, the delightful musical duo Tripp and Toddy will entertain visitors with period music and stage a “duel to the death.” We will also offer guided tours of Old North’s crypt, where 1,100 people are laid to rest, and bell ringing chamber, where Paul Revere rang bells as a teenager.

Been There, Done That: How Our History Shows What We Can Overcome
In his new book, Been There, Done That, Professor Greg Jackson argues that while today’s political climate may be dark, these aren’t as unprecedented times as we may think. Our nation’s past is full of massive upheaval, disagreement, and departures from the moral high ground. The political “gentlemanly conduct” of yesteryear is no more than a myth. But that reality never allowed our worst historical selves to defeat our better angels.

Sunday Services
Our Sunday services follow the liturgies in the Episcopal Church’s Book of Common Prayer, supplemented by a rich array of resources from across our Anglican tradition, especially the Church of England and the Anglican Church of Canada, as well as our Lutheran full communion partners.
Most Sundays we celebrate the Holy Eucharist, also called Holy Communion or the Mass. Choral Matins (traditional Anglican Morning Prayer) is offered several times a year. Lessons & Carols are held in Advent and Epiphany.
