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.  The Anglican balancing

of these sources has been associated with the Anglican affinity

for seeking the mean between extremes and living the via media. It has also

been associated with the Anglican willingness to wrestle with the tension

and comprehend opposing viewpoints.

 

 

 

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 battered women 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 daughters in college and graduate school nearby.  Walking her dog, kayaking, yoga, and playing with various forms of art keep her (relatively) sane.  A fuller bio can be found here.
