Action Items
Actions we can take to incarnate God's love and care:
Governor Hochul’s budget has taken a big, disappointing step back from New York’s historic climate law. In the short time left in the session this spring, we can still urge our legislators to pass these bills, which would
- Place a temporary moratorium on data center construction in New York State and
- Speed up the permitting for plug-in solar.
I invite you to join me in writing your representatives, and to share widely. In a national time of widespread attacks on environmental protections and green energy, we can still mitigate the situation significantly on the state level.

Our Community
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church is called to love God and to love one another through worship, fellowship, education and outreach; and looks for opportunities to collaborate and serve throughout our community and the world. A “three-legged stool” is often used to describe the threefold sources of authority in Anglicanism - scripture, tradition and reason. We pray, we listen to each other and God, we ask all sorts of questions and don't necessarily agree on the answers, but in the process each member and the congregation as a whole expands its perspective about how God is inviting us to love and serve and strive for more healing, justice, and joy.
Our Clergy
The Rev. Allison Moore, Ph.D. started ministry with St. Andrew’s in February, 2020. She brings experience from many years of parish ministry in the metropolitan New York City area, directing an HIV/AIDS support program, work with survivors of domestic violence and their children, and a decade of teaching philosophy, world religions, theology and ethics at Simmons College, Bergen Community College, and St. Peter’s University in Jersey City. She loves the synergy of parish ministry and college chaplaincy and social service ministry and social justice advocacy--multiple ways to serve God and grow in faith! She has two young adult children. Kayaking, yoga, and playing with various forms of art keep her (relatively) sane. Learn more...
