• Summary:St. Luke’s is a welcoming, inclusive parish with deep historical roots: founded in 1873 by Reverend Alexander Crummell, its 1876–79 sanctuary was designed by Calvin T. S. Brent—Washington, D.C.’s first Black architect—and is a designated U.S. National Historic Landmark long celebrated as the “Black Cathedral” and a center for Black activism and education. Worship is grounded in the Book of Common Prayer, the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds, and the Catechism, incorporates the “Way of Love” spiritual practices, and highlights music from African, Caribbean, and African‑American traditions (hymns, spirituals, gospel, and a cappella). The church makes participation easy for visitors with a wheelchair‑accessible sanctuary, regular livestreams on YouTube, nightly online evening prayer via Zoom, a weekly newsletter, and active social media. St. Luke’s also maintains an active outreach ministry—Feed the Homeless and donation drives—encourages online giving and pledges, and lists contact phone numbers and emails for further information, with Father John Ball serving as Interim Rector and Catherine Motley as Parish Administrator.
