ONGOING:
I was a happy member of professional choir at historic
Mariners' Church of Detroit since 1994, but the pandemic shutdown ended regular participation for me. Now I substitute occasionally. The excellent choral services continue and I highly recommend them if you love traditional Anglican liturgical music and hymns presented by an exemplary small professional choir, and an extremely fine organ, played magnificently. Also the church has its own fascinating history, bound up with the Great Lakes Maritime community and the city of Detroit, and is well worth a visit.
