The rebirth of a historic church and its central role in caring for the workers at Ground ZeroThis inspiring story describes how St. Paul's Episcopal Chapel and its ministry to the workers at Ground Zero brought love, healing, community, and hope out of chaos and offers a moving testament to the ways in which human beings can rise to a tragic occasion with grace and love. It is the never-before-told story of how St. Paul's Chapel galvanized to feed, clothe, and care for the rescue workers, fire fighters, and police officers who worked at the tragic World Trade Center site, day in and day out. It shows how ordinary people can organize themselves to respond courageously to even the most horrific of tragedies. It is also a hopeful story of the transforming power of tragedy. For those who wonder whether the Christian church is still relevant in today's world, this story demonstrates that it can be if it embodies its deepest values and ministers to those most in need. Lyndon F. Harris (New York, NY) was the leader of the ministry at St. Paul's Chapel and is now a consultant for urban ministries at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
