Trinity Episcopal Cathedral — Attraction in Phoenix

Trinity Espiscopal Cathedral is a story of tragedy, a monument and memorial to the death of protestantism in the United States. The cathedral is beautiful! No doubt about that, and the clergy and parishioners are quite kind as well! For these reasons I leave 2 stars and not just one, but as a faithful Christian, and a lifelong protestant, who is also a member of a similar mainline tradition, I must warn harshly of the errors within Trinity Episcopal.

I have much love and respect for many within the Anglican communion, however Trinity Espiscopal represents the bleakest apathies of the modern Anglican tradition. My visitation to this church was lovely, but greatly sorrowed by the appearance of a "pride flag" within one of the windows of the church.

This is not a homophobic rant, nor a political sermon, but a simple complaint about the state of the episcopal church today. It is a good thing for church to be welcoming to all, but it is entirely another to sell the church to worldly political passions.

The "pride flag" has no place in any church, and is associated with the lowliest of pandering to whatever social movement is currently relevant. Much like the error of the papists, the episcopal church has become little more than a political machine of cheap, sluggish, man made sermons of vague goodness and a plastic, white washed, modernized, deconstructed, westernized version of Jesus is presented.

The faithful men and women who actually built this beautiful sanctuary are long gone, from a time decades ago. All that remains today is a shell of a church, a tomb of stained glass and ornate stonework. The once sacred space is now inhabited by a new breed of Christian clergy and parishioners, who are tragically largely uncaring for the wisdom of their Christian forefathers. They bring shame to the once hallowed halls they now occupy.

Although kind, the clergy at Trinity church are clearly of the sorrowful and most oblivious variety. They sell their church to the secular spirit of the age, to destroy it forever. Trinity Espiscopal is less a church, and more a social club.

If you want a church without the fullness of the Christian faith, apathy towards God, and a pandering to the human condition before all else, Trinity may be right for your most pitiful and unspiritual condition.

May God bless The Espiscopal Church, as well as the whole Anglican communion, for they are in dire need of The Holy Spirit and revival.

Until there is any sort of visible, open repentance from their worldly drudgery, I will attend another mainline protestant church, and would advise others to visit different Episcopal...

I was amazed on Sunday to see a dog in the church , this was not a seeing eye dog however it may have been a support dog . The dog was owned by a person wearing a priest's collar and a wooden cross I do not judge why a man of the faith should need to bring a dog into the church there may be many reasons that go beyond his faith in the Lord, however when taking the sacrament I was appalled to see that the dog was allowed to be taken to this sacred place . I am aware that the standards of the church have been eroded over the past few years but where is the line to be drawn ? Will it be that anyone with a so called support animal of any sort will be coming up to accompany their owners whilst they take communion? This event was enough that I will not be attending the sevice at the Cathedral ever again, how far is the Anglican Church willing to go to bring in people to worship. Where is the sanctity of this holy place? This is a place of worship and however much we understand that God created all things , I do not believe bringing animals up to the alter was ever inteded to be part of worshipping his name and the remembrance of Christ's...

One of my favorite places in Phoenix! This church loves art and culture! They sponsor free music groups and individual musician concerts every year, inside and out. Last one was the Fujiko Daiko drumming group outside on their built-in labyrinth.

They host monthly artist receptions in their art gallery that coordinate with 1st Friday downtown Phoenix events on Roosevelt Row.

The inside of the church has remarkable acoustics that mesmerize with the large stained glass windows. Whether an acoustic guitar or an Acapella group, you can hear perfectly from any seat. Although I've never attended a church service there, it is an active and vibrant church with an impressive cultural presence. Parking in the...
