As we anticipate our buildings’ 150th anniversary (on February 9, 2027), these Forums will take a closer look at the extraordinary art that surrounds us each time we gather for worship—art that has helped to shape, inform, and inspire our faith for generations.
Led by Cynthia Staples (Trinity Church Historian), Keith Morgan (Professor Emeritus of History of Art and Architecture at Boston University), and Peter Smiledge (Trinity Tour Guide and Vestry member), this three-part series will explore the remarkable artists and artisans whose vision and craftsmanship created our magnificent worship space.
