Amazing architecture. the front of this building is amazing in fact all around it is, even inside it's unbelievable, no charge for entry.
I'm not a church person but hey well worth seeing.
We dropped into St. Thomas church during one of our strolls around the city. It’s an excellent example of gothic revival architecture and is a stark contrast to the surrounding buildings. Once inside it is a calm and active church. Definitely worth a visit. It’s also a great photo opportunity.
Went in to look around, lovely architecture, and they have many free concerts.
They have a choir and an organist and both are wonderful.
Saint Thomas Church, also know as Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue, is located at the corner of 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue and is a parish church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. During my visit to this beautiful church a new organ was being installed which prevented a number of photo opportunities. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my visit and the people with whom I interacted was friendly.
We're not Anglicans but visited to experience Choral Eucharist and weren't disappointed. There was a visiting Boys'/Men's choir from Denmark, whose singing was sublime and elevating. The congregation and clergy were warm, welcoming and caring of the community they seek to serve. The vicar's sermon was inspiring, helpful in the humdrum of modern life, and he touched on topics that should be pertinent to human beings, who aspire to goodness. And his welcome, dulcet, English intonation was eloquent but clear.
