St. Paul’s Chapel, a part of Trinity Wall Street, is the only colonial-era church in New York City and has a long life at the heart of the soul of the city. More recently, as it sits on the lip of Ground Zero, it was the rest station for the rescue workers after 9/11. In 2007, to increase the flexibility of use and worship, St. Paul’s embarked on a daring renovation in which they removed all the pews from the nave, installing an altar-table at the center of the church and surrounding it with movable chairs.
All Saints Company has most recently worked with St. Paul’s by leading a Music That Makes Community conference there in October 2007. The live acoustic, flexibility in worship flow, and the presence of hundreds of circulating visitors to the 9/11 exhibits made this one of our most dynamic conference sites. All Saints Company co-conspirators Marilyn Haskel, Jake Slichter and Daniel Simons all work with Trinity Wall Street and St. Paul's Chapel coordinating music and liturgy.
