Our Garden Guild tends to our beautiful public gardens on Park Avenue.

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.
Join in conversation with the Reverend Kelsey Davis—Episcopal priest, former professional soccer player, coach, and Co-Founder of Christian Athlete Circles, the first LGBTQ+ affirming organization for Christian athletes nationwide. Together we’ll explore hospitality at the intersection of sports, Pride, and church, and what it means to build communities where all identities, gifts, and bodies are fully welcomed.
The Reverend Peter Thompson discusses the impact of the American Revolution on the development of the Episcopal Church.
Dr. Catherine Meeks, Founder of Turquoise & Lavender, outlines a collaborative approach to combatting systemic racism.
