Trinity Church

"Trinity Church in the City of Boston is recognized for its National Historic Landmark building, considered by members of the American Association of Architects as one of this country’s top 10 buildings. The parish that calls it home was actually founded in 1733, more than 150 years before the current church was built. ...Thriving outreach ministries have been as much a part of Trinity’s DNA as its architecture, preaching, teaching, and pastoral care. With our baptismal vows, we promise to seek and serve Christ in all persons, and to strive for justice, peace, and dignity among all people. These ministries have often reflected the needs of the time—job training and child care for recent immigrants, responding to health crises such as tuberculosis and AIDS, feeding the hungry, and helping to house the elderly and homeless."

    MA Rep. Jeffrey Sánchez: Inequality and Impacts on Public Health

    Sat, Nov 18, 2017
    Consider some of the differences in health statistic outcomes between races in the U.S., such as infant mortality rates, populations living with asthma or diabetes. Add to that data on which populations suffer in tenuous living conditions or lack good public transit to health facilities, and you can perceive how systemic racism contributes to health disparities. In its third annual Anne Bonnyman Symposium, members and friends of Trinity Church explore these issues and seek to develop specific ways to create positive change in the city of Boston and beyond. State Representative Jeffrey Sánchez, Chairman of the Massachusetts House Ways and Means Committee, delivers the keynote speech to begin a day of talks to consider the following: - Access to quality health care and services - Impact of legislation and education on disparities in health - Faith and spirituality in personal and systemic well-being - Wellness and healthy choices - Racism as trauma - Violence as a public health issue Photo: [U.S. Air Force airmen from the 133rd and 148th Medical Group, Minnesota Air National Guard,](http://www.airforcemedicine.af.mil/Media-Center/Art/igphoto/2001778449/ "")

    Marian Wright Edleman: We Still Have a Dream to End Racism

    Sun, Jan 18, 2015
    **Marian Wright Edleman** delivers the keynote address for the first symposium organized by Trinity Church, convening people across the city to come together to learn, be inspired, and be moved to take effective actions towards facing, healing and ending racism. The symposium was organized by members of the Trinity Anti-Racism Team, as part of the recognition of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for his commitment to a better America. The The Reverend Samuel T. Lloyd III, Rector of Trinity Church, introduces the symposium saying, "With the recent events in Ferguson, Cleveland, New York, and in our own backyard, this discussion sadly is more urgent than we had imagined. We pray that the day’s conversations will speak powerfully to participants coming from many different perspectives, and that it will inform and inspire effective new initiatives in the long journey we walk on together towards truth and reconciliation."
