Festal Evensong

A live webcast will be available starting on May 05, 2024 at 16:00 pm.

York and New York City will celebrate their historic relationship during a special evensong at Saint Thomas Church in New York on May 5, 2024 at 4pm when a ledger stone designed and carved at York Minster will be formally unveiled in the nave of the landmark church on Fifth Avenue.

“In its bicentennial year, Saint Thomas Church is delighted to celebrate the historic relationship between old York and New York, as it were, and to uplift our Anglican heritage from which we draw so much tradition and strength. We feel privileged to house this historic ledger stone in our nave and look forward to welcoming delegations from York and the British Embassy” says the Revd. Canon Carl Turner, Rector of Saint Thomas.

His Majesty’s Consul General to New York Hannah Young will unveil the stone and will read a message from His Majesty King Charles III as part of the service. This comes 100 years after a similar bronze plaque was sent from New York to York, marking the relationship between the two cities.
