Creche

Sunday vibes with the Trinity House crew. 🙏✨

This is one of our favorite groups of humans… but we have bittersweet news. Two of our beloved members, Jessica and Emma, are graduating and moving on to their next adventures. We couldn’t be prouder, and we’ll miss them terribly.

Which means Trinity House has two spots opening up! Are you a student looking for affordable, faith-rooted intentional community in the Boston area? We’d love to hear from you. 🏠​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We are so intensely proud of Creche member Rev Dorie Goehring, a PhD candidate in comparative theology at Boston College and a priest in our diocese. Dorie was a major contributor to a national effort by The Episcopal Church to identify and correct the ways our Holy Week liturgies perpetuate anti-Judaism, offering new liturgies that preserve theological and historical integrity while reducing harm to our Jewish friends and neighbors. And as if that weren’t enough, she’s just been named to the Bishop’s Commission on Ecumenical and Interreligious Relations! 🎉

Although Creche is a Christian community, we have welcomed non-Christian members since our founding. (And two of our five houses currently have Jewish members!) Confronting the ways our tradition has perpetuated anti-Judaism is desperately important, long-overdue work, and we’re grateful to Dorie and her teammates: Dan Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, Sarah Neumann, Kate Ekrem, and Elise Feyerherm. 🙏✡️✝️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Iconic scenes from the Emmanuel House: Cosmo and Vincent surveying the neighborhood, because we’re invested in the places we’re rooted. R making latkes, because Creche celebrates pluralism. Lisa lounging in the common space, because rest can be communal too. This is what faith-rooted intentional community looks like. 🏠✨

Stopped by Trinity House and was greeted by this whiteboard: a welcome message, a chore chart, and the quiet infrastructure of shared life.

Caring for a common space is one of the hardest parts of intentional community. Every household finds its own way to do it, but it always comes down to the same things: communication, accountability, and a commitment to one another’s well-being.

I’m so proud of Trinity House and the rhythms of mutual care they’ve built together. This is the kind of everyday faithfulness that makes community durable.
