Talk:Christ Church (New Haven)

development
New article, am planning to add some pictures and a history section in the next few days. I don't know whether the church meets notability criteria but it is a really nice building and the church's relatively unique place in the episcopalian church as an extremely liberal yet extremely high church parish (an unusual combination) is probably worthy of discussion. It is also an important training site for liturgical focused episcopalian seminary students. Hope for some help especially from wikipedians interested in Architecture, Yale, Episcopal Church, New Haven, or Anglo-catholicism. CharlusIngus 03:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I would like to mention that although Christ Church is located on the fringe of the Yale Campus, the focus of the parish is not Yale. Outreach at the parish is geared toward everyone, not just Yale students. The signs near the doors say “All are Welcome.” And we meant it.

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to whether or not Christ Church is a Yale church, it is not. At times I fear the perceived association with Yale keeps people away. It is an independent parish that just happens to be located in a university town. Although the schedule of masses and activities at this parish might on the surface appear to revolve around Yale, you might want to note in further postings that this is not the case.

I also saw that Compline was mentioned, but that the principle mass, the Eucharist, was only noted briefly. I have made the appropriate adjustments to the entry. The principle service is the Solemn High Mass, not Compline. This is a parish in which the Eucharist is celebrated every weekday and three times on Sundays.


 * Since the church was NRHP-listed in 2009, there is no question that it is wikipedia-notable. The NRHP documents for the church should be available from the National Register, as they are for most CT NRHP-listed places, but they are not, i think.  If/when they are scanned and made available, a reference like this should work in the article.


 * It would be worthwhile if anyone wanted to develop this article further about its interesting architecture and other history, if they would request a hardocpy of the NRHP documents, which would be sent for free from the National Register, by email request to nr_reference (at) nps.govc. --doncram (talk) 20:12, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
