Remembering the Reverend Tom Bowers
Longtime members of the St. Bart’s community remember Tom Bowers, the tenth rector of the parish, who died in 2024.

Each week, guest speakers from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines join the Reverend Peter Thompson and other St. Bart's clergy for deep and insightful conversations about topics that matter to our lives as responsible citizens and people of faith. Speakers in recent years have included winners of the Tony Award, the Emmy Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, and the Pulitzer Prize, professors from prominent universities like Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia, and journalists from New York, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic.
The Very Reverend Marcus George Halley, D.Min. College Chaplain and Dean of Spiritual and Religious Life at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, explores the intersection of two significant June observances — Juneteenth and Pride Month — through the lens of the Gospel and its expansive vision of human freedom and flourishing.
