This is the old St. John's Episcopal Church. It's one of the three that the diocese closed back in the 1970s and combined into the Christ the King parish in Stone Ridge.

And the Sunday flea market on the green in High Falls, that's on our property, too.

We're open May through October, and we've just renovated the towpath trail. We've made some new pathways, and there's a new bridge over one of the locks. We're also completely handicapped-accessible, now.

The museum has been here for 38 years.

God wants to save us in a people. He does not want to save us in isolation. And so today's church more than ever is accentuating the idea of being a people. The church therefore experiences conflicts, because it does not want a mass; it wants a people. A mass is a heap of persons, the drowsier the better, the more compliant the better. The church rejects communism's slander that it is the opium of the people. It has no intention of being the people's opium. Those that create drowsy masses are others. The church wants to rouse men and women to the true meaning of being a people. What is a people? A people is a community of persons where all cooperate for the common good.

The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool.
