“I’ve grown up in the Episcopal Church. But I’ve never been to such a user-friendly church as this. It’s like the Mac of Churches!” - Gordon
The Advocate is unlike any Episcopal church I’ve been to; it’s as if, in your newness, you’ve seen the opportunity to reinterpret our rich liturgical history in a playful and beautiful way. I think the Advocate could teach me a lot during my stay in Chapel Hill! — Will
“Every single word in the mass held such clear importance. I was so taken with the intensity and honesty and directness and clarity of the WORD… let alone the sensation of community around me… it kind of shook my conception of what a faith-based community IS, and how much simple attention to clarity of meaning can do to sharpen a community’s purpose. it was clear to me how much thought and awareness went into everything that was said or presented or implied. I thank you for that! I look forward to coming back, for sure.”
- Luke
“One of my favorite images of the Advocate occurred during table fellowship after our service. As my husband and I sat down, immediately three different hands were extended for a handshake and introduction. Literally, the “right hand of fellowship” (Gal. 2:9) had been extended to us. We thought this was emblematic of the hospitality we’ve encountered at the Advocate.”
- Joslyn
“We have very much enjoyed our time at the Advocate and hope to go once more when we return from Boston. It is a special place with thougthtful attention to detail, unpretentious mood and calm, confident, good humoured demeanour. Quite an achievement.”
- The Rev. David Warbrick, Visiting priest from England
