St. James Episcopal Church

Eric Burton

TL;DR: I'm a non-Christian queer with negative church experiences and this is actually a really good church, I love everyone here. They legitimately care. Honestly, I'm not even a Christian and this place is fantastic. The liturgical nature of services might not be for everybody (although they are beautiful, I'm a fan), but the community is genuinely wonderful. I've been to quite a few churches in my time and this is literally one of two where it's clear people actually care about you and legitimately don't judge you. They are LGBTQIA+ friendly and affirming, highly supportive of recovery from addiction, and the clergy as well as the parishioners are incredibly open-minded spiritually/intellectually. As they say here, 'You don't have to check your brains at the door.' They also have a lot of events throughout the year, including Saturday night music mass, where they play music from popular secular artists throughout music history (I haven't been to one yet but it starts back up in September and I'm way excited). Whether you're Christian or not: if you just want a good spiritual/intellectual experience (if only in a small way), come to a service or other event here; if you want to help the community in concrete ways, get in touch with people here; no matter what your religious affiliation (yes, even pagans, wiccans, etc), gender, sexual orientation, political views - I have no doubt that you'll be welcome here. :) Just always be respectful and kind.
