Growing Higher but Smaller
A few months ago, about halfway through my year with the re-imagining church program, I had a dream about Trinity on the Green.

One theme that has recurred throughout these stories and our discussions is the theme of invitation and its shadow side, demand.
On Sunday we held our first re-imagining church meeting at Trinity on the Green, New Haven. As we sat down in the upper room behind the beautiful stained glass windows above the front doors of the church, we noticed that hanging on the wall was a portrait of Rev. Harry Croswell, illustrious rector of Trinity from the first half of the nineteenth century.
Trinity on the Green is a historic Episcopal Church located in the heart of New Haven, on the New Haven Green. Trinity recognizes that there is more than one way to connect with one another and with God, as reflected in the breadth of their programs. Trinity connects with God aesthetically—through choral music, theater, art installations, and readings. Trinity connects with God ethically—serving Christ through serving others out on the New Haven Green and beyond. And Trinity connects with God spiritually—through reflection, meditation, “Godly play,” Bible study, and prayer.
