Over 125 years old, The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine is the largest cathedral in the world. It is the “mother church” of the Episcopal Diocese of New York and the seat of its Bishop. The church is chartered as a house of prayer for all people and as a unifying center of intellectual light and leadership.
While Cathedrals traditionally do not have their own congregations, St. John the Divine is home to the Congregation of Saint Saviour, which operates independently from the Cathedral. The congregation has approximately 400 members. Information about services and times can be found below. Furthermore, all those who would like to attend worship services and anyone seeking a place for prayer or meditation will be welcomed without charge. For sightseeing, visit the admissions page to learn more.
Like the great Medieval cathedrals and churches of the world, St. John the Divine is unfinished and will continue to be constructed over many centuries. Currently, funding is mostly directed towards maintaining the architectural integrity of the Cathedral and prioritizing serving the community through programming and social initiatives.
Some of St. John’s community initiatives include the soup kitchen (which serves roughly 25,000 meals annually), the distinguished Cathedral School (which prepares young students to be future leaders), Adults and Children in Trust (a renowned preschool, afterschool and summer program), and the outstanding Textile Conservation Lab (which preserves world treasures). The Cathedral also organizes several yearly concerts, exhibitions, performances and civic gatherings to allow for conversation, celebration, reflection and remembrance—such is the joyfully busy life of this beloved and venerated Cathedral.

Creating Compelling Research Narrative Workshop
Online
July 7, 2025 | Livestream, virtual training
This five-hour hands-on writing bootcamp covers several approaches to create compelling research narrative and is led by expert instructors with more than two decades of experience providing research writing, editing, and training for researchers worldwide. This intensive will lead you through detailed examples, revise writing in guided group settings with instructors, and then put those lessons into practice on your own writing. Thus, we encourage you to bring a draft in progress (e.g., grant proposal, research manuscript), so this workshop can directly impact an active writing project. Participants also will come away with an SOP for writing logically and will learn some additional narrative tricks and tips to entice and engage readers on their science.
By the end of this writing intensive workshop, participants will have:
- A clear and organized approach for writing manuscripts and grants
- Several easy grammar concepts for clear communication
- Examples to share/work with their trainees
- An improved portion of your own grant or manuscript (if you bring it with you to the workshop)
Investigators at all career stages are welcome to attend, and we particularly encourage research trainees and early-stage investigators to participate. To register for this training, you must have:
- Written at least one thesis chapter, manuscript, or grant
- A grant or manuscript that is in progress is strongly encouraged, but not required to attend this training.
Additional Information
- Subscribe for updates on Workshop details and registration deadlines.
- Contact the Creating Compelling Scientific Narrative Workshop team.
Capacity is limited. Paid registration required to attend.

Quantitative Genomics Training

July 7-8, 2025 | Livestream, virtual training
The Quantitative Genomics Training is a two-day intensive training of seminars and hands-on analytical sessions to provide an overview of concepts, methods, and tools for whole-genome and transcriptome analyses in human health studies.
This two-day intensive workshop will provide a rigorous introduction to several different techniques to analyze whole-genome sequencing and transcriptome data. Led by a team of experts in statistical genomics and bioinformatics, who have developed their own methods to analyze such data, the training will integrate seminar lectures with hands-on computer lab sessions to put concepts into practice. The training will focus on reviewing existing approaches based on predicted expression association with traits, colocalization of causal variants, and Mendelian Randomization, including discussion on how they relate to each other, and their advantages and limitations. Emphasis will also be given to reviewing integrative sequence-based association studies for whole-genome sequencing data, and functional annotation of variants in noncoding regions of the genome.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics:
- Sequence-based association tests (Burden, SKAT and extensions)
- Functional genomic annotations
- Analysis of genomic variants in human diseases
- Transcriptome wide association tests (PrediXcan, MetaXcan, and extensions)
- Mendelian Randomization techniques
- Colocalization techniques
Audience and Requirements
Investigators at all career stages are welcome to attend, and we particularly encourage trainees and early-stage investigators to participate. There are three requirements to attend this workshop:
- Each participant must have an introductory background in statistics and genetics, and/or in the statistical analysis of genetic data.
- Experience using R is recommended to get the most out of lab sessions.
- Each participant should have a laptop with R/RStudio downloaded and installed prior to the first day of training. All lab sessions will be done using Posit Cloud (formerly RStudio Cloud).

Since 2019, Riverside Park Conservancy has brought a herd of goats to our Bird Sanctuary, to create Goatham – a hard-to-access area in the northern part of the Park. The goats take up residency for the summer on sloped terrain that is rife with invasive plants. Since goats are naturally effective weed whackers, putting them to work in Goatham is like treating them to an all-you-can-eat buffet. It’s hearty for the goats and good for the environment.
This year, for the second season, they’ll be working in the forested area from 143rd-145th Streets, as their work in the Bird Sanctuary was completed.
Volunteers are an essential part of this program. Each evening, the goats need to be enclosed in a shelter. Our staff will let them out first thing in the morning, but we need volunteers to help us herd the goats in the evening, and more!
If you think this opportunity is right for you, please plan to attend one of our upcoming orientations by filling out this survey. The survey includes additional details about the different Goatham volunteer opportunities.
For questions, please reach out to grassroots@riversideparknyc.org.

Multifaith Mondays: Moral Witness for Democracy
Weekly Vigils at Columbus Circle
Mondays 5:30-6:00 pm (Gathering at the USS Marine statue on the SW corner of Central Park)
Multifaith Monday Vigils serve as a sacred space for collective lament, prophetic resistance and moral clarity in a time of deep division and threat to democratic values If we can do nothing else in the end, we can stand and bear witness to the highest ideals to which we have been called and commit to pursue them even when the way is dark and unclear.
As M. Gessen teaches, “Autocratic power requires the degradation of moral authority.” By participating in Multifaith Mondays we are choosing to reinforce and strengthen moral authority in the world. We look forward to being there together as an antidote to isolation and overwhelm.
Sponsors Include:
The Interfaith Center of New York
