SUMMARY:Church of the Mediator participates in prestigious “Sacred Sites” weekend - May 17 & 18
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy will host its 15th annual Sacred Sites Open House on May 17 and 18 where they will celebrate houses of worship with “Building for Eternity: Religious Architecture and Artisans.”\nOne of those extraordinary sites is our very own\, Church of the Mediator\, affectionally dubbed “The Little Cathedral of the Bronx.”\nThe Episcopal Church of the Mediator is an Episcopal parish church in Kingsbridge\, designed by Henry Vaughan\, architect of the Washington National Cathedral and chapels of the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in Manhattan. It features Tiffany windows and George Tinworth’s terracotta friezes\, along with a notable window over the entry featuring Jane Addams and Booker T. Washington.\nSince 1855\, the Church of the Mediator served the greater northwest Bronx community as a spiritual sanctuary\, a community and cultural hub and a historical sacred site of grandeur and grace. As a 170-year-old congregation with a 111-year-old historical sanctuary\, the Mediator is currently experiencing extreme physical and economical stress.\nThanks to renowned architect and preservationist Stephen F. Byrns (President of the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy and a local resident) and other community activists\, the church has been placed on the prestigious “Seven to Save” list of most important historical sites in NYS in danger of demolition\, but most worthy of preservation.\nAn important step is to attend the Sacred Sites Weekend event at the Church of the Mediator to learn more about how this institution is important to our community\, whether you attend services at this church or not.\nActivities will include two tours of the church’s sanctuary with Mr. Byrns\, one on Saturday\, May 17 (11 am) and another on Sunday\, May 18 (3:00 pm). Binoculars are recommended for best viewing!\nHours on Saturday will be from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and then Sunday\nMay 18 from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Please access this link for free tickets:\nhttps://tinyurl.com/yy2myjpe.\nPlease see https://nylandmarks.org/site/church-of-the-mediator-bronx-ny/ for additional tickets and information.\nPlease come out and witness a community willing to learn more about one of its bedrock institutions and help carry it into the future with renewed vigor and strength.\nThe Church of the Mediator is located at 260 W. 231 Street\, Kingsbridge 10463.\nCONTACT: stephaniecoggins1900@gmail.com
