Postponed to March 5 • Companions Lunch: The Sacrament of Friendship: building the muscles for connection, with Dr. Lynn A. Cooper
2026-03-05 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | Commons, 206 Clarendon St.,, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
Due to the snow in Boston, this Companions Lunch has been postponed to Thurs., March 5.
In this divisive moment, we are called to both go forth and build meaningful connection across lines of difference and to tend to our spirits and communities. Join us for presentation and conversation which focuses on this seemingly at-odds intersection. Participants will get a chance to develop the muscles of sacramental friendship as we experiment with spiritual practices from Be-Friend, the Interfaith Friendship Program for students, faculty, and staff at Tufts University.
Our guest Dr. Lynn A. Cooper is the Associate Director of the University Chaplaincy and Catholic Chaplain at Tufts University. She holds a Doctor of Ministry from Boston University School of Theology and an M.Div. from Harvard Divinity School. Working in a multifaith chaplaincy context in higher education has been one of the great gifts of her life. At Tufts, she runs an interfaith friendship for students, faculty, and staff, facilitates the interfaith student council, and directs an intergenerational oral history that magnifies the wisdom and stories of lay folks. Lynn’s first book, Embracing Our Time: The Sacrament of Interfaith Friendship, came out in May 2025 from Fortress Press.

Choral Evensong
2026-03-04 17:45 - 18:15, 2026-02-25 17:45 - 18:15 | Church, 206 Clarendon St.,, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
Choral Evensong, Rite I, offers 30 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, and reflection. Trinity’s Choristers sing at this short choral service offered at the end of the workday in the Sanctuary.
Do you know a child aged 8-10 who might be interested in singing? The Chorister program at Trinity Church offers an extraordinary opportunity to learn music, singing, leadership, teamwork, responsibility, commitment, have fun, and to see the world! Choristers learn about the faith and engage in the life of the church through their active leadership of worship. Parents often say that the Chorister program is a deeply transformative experience for their children.
To learn more about Trinity’s Chorister program, contact Director of Music Colin Lynch.
