The Church of the Incarnation is an Episcopal church in downtown Dallas with a membership of some 5,000. The church is of gothic revival architecture. Congregants worship among glorious stained glass windows and the superior fullness of an organ that boasts more than 4,000 pipes.
With frequency, members of other denominations join Incarnation members for a service held each Sunday at 5 PM. It is known as Evensong.
The tradition of Evensong, which dates back to the middle 1600s, is totally sung by Incarnation’s exceptional choir. The big organ’s background accentuates the loveliness of the service.
The Holy Eucharist, as a short additional service, follows. And in the Episcopal Church, all baptized Christians, regardless of their denominational affiliation, are welcome to participate in receiving the Lord’s Supper.
The Church of the Incarnation takes up the block of 3900 McKinney. More information is available at Episcopal Church Evensong
For some reason your post makes me think of when I was in High School and had to learn Gregorian Chant.
Even stranger ...I liked Gregorian Chant. Now how's that for a non-sequator!
PS That picture is wonderful!
Miss Joan,
That's an interesting memory and connection.
I love that painting. I really do. I borrowed it from a church bulletin, and I've been using it (with permission) for about a year. I wish I owned the original.
