The Church of the Ascension is an Episcopal church with a long history of fine music and beautiful worship liturgy on Fifth Avenue in New York's historic Greenwich Village.

This Yahoo! discussion group is primarily for members and friends of the parish -- not because we want to exclude anyone, but due to the realities of Web sites and spam, if we don't limit it to people we know, it could quickly degenerate into spam ads for Viagra and home mortgage refinancing.

PS: I have no say over the advertising that appears in conjunction with this site. Since I listed it in the "religion" category, God only knows what will show up here. Well, only God and Yahoo's advertising department, I suppose.
