Goal of Program

The Community at the Crossing is an ecumenical program for spiritual formation in the heart of New York City. It is for any Christian between 21-33 years old, from all church backgrounds, and anywhere in the US. Members spend a year in prayer and discernment, biblical and theological formation, intentional community, service, and mission, and choose as their sisters and brothers people who are radically different from themselves. We believe that being ‘interrupted by God’ is the best thing that can happen to anyone. We believe as Christians that there is far more that unites us than divides us and that our world is in desperate need of people who can model true unity, which is born from reconciliation, truth, and the humility of shared life. The program is a joint venture between the Episcopal Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine and the Chemin Neuf Community, a Roman Catholic community with an ecumenical vocation.
