Bill Tully says goodbye to St. Bart’s

The Lead

His work here is done. With a congregation of nearly 3,400, up from a foundering flock of just a few hundred when he took over in 1994, the Rev. William MacDonald Tully, 65, is retiring from active duty at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church on Park Avenue and 50th Street.

Worship for all of God’s children

1 Comment / The Lead

Imagine you wanted to create a liturgy for children who simply couldn’t manage the demands of a traditional liturgy, even a child friendly liturgy. And what would you do so that the worship wouldn’t just accommodate their special needs but would communicate appropriately to them?

Too much of a good thing

Speaking to the Soul

It’s also important to consider that human nature reveals at times our “magnanimous” behavior isn’t always as magnanimous as it seems. I call it “The Mismatched Pieces of Pie Gambit.”

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition.  The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity.  Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.
