The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, the mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and the Seat of its Bishop, is chartered as a house of prayer for all people and a unifying center of intellectual light and leadership. It serves the many diverse people of our Diocese, City, Nation and World through an array of liturgical, cultural and civic events; pastoral, educational and community outreach activities; and maintains the preservation of the great architectural and historic site that is its legacy. People from many faiths and communities worship together in services held more than 30 times a week; the soup kitchen serves roughly 25,000 meals annually; social service outreach has an increasingly varied roster of programs; the distinguished Cathedral School prepares young students to be future leaders; Adults and Children in Trust, the renowned preschool, afterschool and summer program, offers diverse educational and nurturing experiences; the outstanding Textile Conservation Lab preserves world treasures; concerts, exhibitions, performances and civic gatherings allow conversation, celebration, reflection and remembrance—such is the joyfully busy life of this beloved and venerated Cathedral.

St Paul's Cathedral is a vibrant church, a national treasure and a London icon. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the late 17th century, the Cathedral has been the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of London for over 1,400 years. Our building provides a space for reflection, discovery, learning and debate. Each year, we welcome nearly two million people through our doors, to worship, sightsee, and attend a lively programme of concerts, educational events and performing arts. Alongside dedicated clergy and staff, we are sustained by a community of volunteers, who ring our bells, lead our tours, maintain our collections and more. We provide comfort and commemoration through our national services, and stand as an enduring symbol of hope – for those of all faiths and none.

Mit großherzigem Engagement aus aller Welt konnte der Wiederaufbau der Frauenkirche gelingen und ein Wahrzeichen entstehen, das mit seiner Geschichte und Architektur weit über Dresden hinaus zu Toleranz, Versöhnung und Frieden mahnt. Es ist uns Herzensanliegen und Stiftungsauftrag zugleich, unseren Gästen die Friedensbotschaft des Gotteshauses näher zu bringen und an diesem bedeutsamen Ort kulturellen Erbes junge Menschen zu engagiertem Handeln in unserer Gesellschaft zu ermutigen. Zwei Millionen Besucher aller Kontinente begrüßen wir in der Frauenkirche Jahr für Jahr zu Andachten und Gottesdiensten, zur "Offenen Kirche", zu Konzerten und Dialogen rund um aktuelle Friedensfragen. Bürgerschaftliches Engagement machte den Wiederaufbau möglich - bürgerschaftliches Engagement trägt die Frauenkirche bis heute. Werden Sie Teil einer weltweiten Gemeinschaft der Frauenkirche!
