Forum Series: Generous Tables, Gracious Spaces
2026-01-25 11:15 - 12:00, 2026-01-18 11:15 - 12:00 | Lloyd Forum, 206 Clarendon St.,, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
The story of Epiphany encompasses all the ramifications of a newborn savior whose presence impacted the spaces around him: from the Magi travelling to see the Holy Family in a humble dwelling; the flight to Egypt from Bethlehem under threat of death; the welcome back to Joseph’s hometown of Nazareth. The intersection of who Jesus was, and where he was located, is part of Epiphany’s liturgical invitation to recognize God’s presence in what we might imagine are ordinary spaces. Our Forums this season (1/11, 1/18, 1/25, 2/1 and 2/8) will intertwine our program year (Grateful Hearts, Gracious Lives) theme with the nuance of Epiphany’s transformation of space: what spaces are ready to welcome God and God’s people?

January 11: What Can a Body do? Encountering the Built World from a Different Angle
On Sun., Jan. 11, we welcome guest speaker Sara Hendren, an artist, design researcher, writer, and professor at Northeastern University. Her book What Can A Body Do? How We Meet the Built World explores the ways our many bodies meet our technologies, designed products, and built environments — in ways that liberate and constrain our lives.
January 18: Who is Invited? Welcoming Bodies, Movement, and Joy
When we think of spaces which allow for connection, joy, and celebration; who feels as though they are invited and safe in them? On Sun., Jan. 18, join members of Boston’s Gays for Patsy (you may have seen them line dance through the Pride Parade!) to hear about the work they have done in fostering spaces to encourage friendship, movement, and dance. And yes, we will be learning a few line dances with them!
January 25: What Does it Mean for Trinity to Be a ‘Gracious Space’? with the Rev. Morgan S. Allen, Rector

Trinity’s location “in the City of Boston” affords us the privilege and responsibility of welcoming the world into our historic worship home. Some who visit have come to patronize a New England landmark; some have come to nourish a spiritual longing; and some have come in search of a pew or a bathroom to find a moment of rest. Join the Rector as we consider: What dispositions does our congregation’s unique identity ask us to cultivate and support in ourselves and in one another? What are the stakes of our engagement with the world? What basic practices could we adopt to be an ever more gracious space?

February 1 & 8: How Does the Episcopal Church’s Approach to the Sacraments Manifest ‘Gracious Spaces’? with the Rev. Brandon Ashcraft
The Church has long understood Jesus’ first sign in the Gospel of John, the changing of water into wine at a wedding in Cana, to be a foundational Epiphanytide narrative. With this story in the background, we will explore relatively recent developments in the celebration of eucharist and Christian marriage: the widespread practice of “open table” Communion in many Episcopal parishes, and the extension of Christian marriage to same-sex couples.

2026-01-18 12:30 - 14:00 | Club Café, 209 Columbus Avenue, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
Hunter’s Weekly magazine first coined the term brunch in 1895, describing it as a subversive “corruption of breakfast and lunch” – is it any wonder it’s become a ritual for the queer community?! Join us after the Adult Forum for our first brunch foray in many years, as we reclaim this tradition for our newly revived ministry. Please RSVP here so we can give the restaurant a headcount.
The OUT@Trinity ministry is comprised of those who identify as LGBTQIA+ and their allies.

Are you a crafty knitter or clever crochet-er? Join Stitching in the Spirit this Saturday for our meeting, usually held on the third Saturday of every month! Some of our members are knitting baby blankets for the nursery, and others are knitting hats and scarves for the Dever-McCormack School and Catie’s Closet. We also have a stash of yarn available and will take donations from folks who are cleaning out their own stashes. Questions or more info, contact Mary Sherman via the contact form on the event series page.

Queer Theology Book Study
2026-01-11 12:30 - 13:30 | PH Angel Room, 206 Clarendon St.,, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
Radical Love: Introduction to Queer Theology by the Rev. Dr. Patrick Cheng is perfect reading at a time when questions of marriage equality and LGBTQIA+ inclusion remain at the center of public conversation. Join us to explore how queer theology sheds new light on Scripture, tradition, and God’s boundless love. This study will also help us engage more deeply with the Episcopal Church’s own scriptural and theological work on same-sex marriage and will prepare us for future conversations and the possibility of welcoming the Rev. Dr. Cheng to lead a parish-wide event next year.
Email Brandon Ashcraft with questions or to confirm your interest.
