    I don't know if this was written by a member of the congregation, but today, in response to my…read morenegative review, I received the following message through the contact form on one of my websites. The person did not include a name, reply email, or other contact. The email I received was: --- http://www.trinitynewhaven.org/Home/Music/ChoirofMenandBoys/tabid/74/Default.aspx You think you can sing better? I dare you. I double dog dare you to listen to the music embedded on this website and tell me again that these guys can't sing. This choir is invited to sing around the world. Your very cavalier attitude to Epi scopal churches in general, and Trinity in particular, makes me believe you trash churches as routine, as part of your schtick. I down vote all of your reviews, and anyone you rate low, I will assume to be the opposite. --- One clarification, I was pointing out that the congregation could not sing well, not the choir. I think this is an important distinction. I am impressed by this church's choir from the link attached; however, they were not performing at the week I visited the church, and the people in the congregation there really could not sing well. It's important to me to find a church where at least some substantial proportion of the congregation sings in harmony and with some level of passion or enthusiasm--I don't really care whether they're in tune or.have good tone. I just want some energy and harmony. -- I also think that this person was jumping to conclusions that I "trash churches as routine". I have had a more positive experience at other churches. Here are a few of them that I've written about on Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/cove-united-methodist-church-lakewood http://www.yelp.com/biz/peace-community-church-oberlin http://www.yelp.com/biz/grace-lutheran-church-cleveland-heights I had a bad experience when visiting this church. I do think I was unduly harsh and judgmental in my review, and have adjusted my review to adopt a more neutral tone that is simply descriptive of the experience I had there. However, my experience at the church was real and was not particularly positive, and I think it's not appropriate or constructive to dismiss me as a human being just because I did not find the church to be meaningful, relevant, or welcoming. That was my experience, and I felt it was a worthwhile thing to write about it.

    A relationship with God is deeply personal and has nothing to do with how 'cool' a church is…read moredecorated... (how EVER to people tolerate going to 'church' in third world countries! UGH!) ...or how AMAZING a singer is (Dove Award singers only please!!!)... if you're not there for the RIGHT reasons and allow your spirit to be fed with SOMETHING from visiting with other believers...then you're there to judge and people bash. It's not about the bricks and mortar. It's not even about the PEOPLE! It's the walk and relationship. That simple. And. Anyone or any negative review of a CHURCH with anything less than "they assaulted me" or "the pastor punched me in the face" is kindaaa a little missing the point that that PERSONAL pursuit of worshiping God is...personal. If it's not for you, and you're looking for something different....then you gently acknowledge that you need something different the next week. Geesh. And Christians are supposed to be the judgemental ones.

    The 11AM service, "Solemn High Mass", at this church is really worth experiencing…read more I have visited a lot of churches and I have not ever attended any other church of any denomination that preserves the richness of liturgy and old traditions quite as thoroughly as this one. There is a lot of chanting, incense, kneeling, etc. The service is not very user-friendly, which in my opinion is a plus because it means it has not been dumbed-down. The music is unusually good for an Episcopal church. Although Episcopals usually can't sing worth anything, the congregation here does sing somewhat, and they have a good choir. Some of the chanting is out of tune, but who am I to complain? I have never been in any non-Lutheran church where the chanting has been in tune. The spiritual content? I found the service here very meaningful. The sermon was not the best I have ever heard, but it did make me think and was relevant to my life. Nothing about the service was boring, and the only rote/routine part was the confession sequence. I might add, there is a LOT of kneeling. They give you a little pad thingy to kneel on, and honestly, I think it makes your knees hurt. I would recommend just skipping it and using the floor if you're into the whole kneeling bit. The community? Like most churches, this place seems dominated by the over 60 crowd. While I don't have a problem with old people going to church, I do have a problem with young people NOT going to church. WTF? This church needs a more adequate slice of the population. It is right next door to Yale, for Christ's sake...it ought to have more students attending it. How friendly is this church? Not very. Only one person approached me feebly at the Coffee hour after the service. Most people seemed very closed off and not interested in talking to a newcomer. Bottom line? Really friggin' cool service, but that doesn't cut it. I can see why people wouldn't want to attend this church, because it is not particularly friendly or open to newcomers. And when I say they should be more friendly and open, I don't mean they should dumb down the service--complex service is a plus. I simply think they should be outgoing and make more of an effort to talk to newcomers.

    I'm not religious. Heck, I'm not even a Christian. But this a fine church. The compline on Sunday…read morenight at 10pm is the ideal religious experience: thick incense, beautiful music, an accommodating chaplain, cover of darkness, tenderness of candlelight, and all in less than half an hour. After gluttony, lust, or sloth, it's the best way to start the week.

    A wonderful Catholic Church adjacent to Yale's central campus. I have been attending STM for the…read morepast three years and have greatly enjoyed my time there. They offer 3 Sunday Masses in addition to daily mass. The services are attended by both Yale students and other local community members. The Golden Center connected to the chapel is a beautiful, light-filled building that frequently offers events for both the community and students. STM is supported by a great team of Chaplains that offer support, guidance, and advice to students and the community. If you are looking for a Catholic Church in the New Haven area, or if you are a Yale student looking to get more involved with your faith I would definitely recommend Saint Thomas More!!

If you don't have a *current* Yale I.D. you are classified as a member of "the public," only allowed in the Cesar Pelle-designed Catholic Center for particular events. A security guard may ask you to leave if you do not depart promptly after such events. Church staff monitor spaces contiguous to the chapel to make sure you not straying from the corral. You may be allowed to attend coffee hour after ten a.m. Sunday mass, but do not expect the staff to greet you or 'chat you up," and remember, you must leave promptly. Don't be fooled by vacuous social justice talk from the pulpit, or the Wednesday soup kitchen (run largely by "members of the public" using leftover food from Yale dining halls). This is church for economic and social elites, with everything but roped-off pews with nameplates. I have twice heard the pastor preach to parents of Yale students that, "Jesus didn't say you have to give up your wealth." Yale students are told by STM staff that they are very special. Perhaps senior chaplain Bob Beloin and other members think that Yale students are exempt from Jesus' moral expectations. Do they also think Yale students will have a special place in the nether world? Oh, lest I forget. You need Yale I.D. to be baptized, married or buried by a priest-minister of Thomas More. Big donors, staff friends and people of influence may be excepted.
