Products and services

• Walking With the Enslaved: The Church's Role in Slavery Pilgrimage A daylong, in-person spiritual pilgrimage retreat that retraces Richmond, Virginia's historic slave trail across nine reflection stops. Co-led with St. Philip's Episcopal Church (founded 1861 by enslaved and freed Richmonders), it combines prayer, African American spirituals, storytelling, and silent reflection. It is intended for parishioners of both congregations and broader community participants engaged in racial reconciliation work, aligned with the Episcopal Church's 2016 racial reconciliation focus.
• Permanent Open-Space Conservation of St. Paul's Riverside Campus A community-led land conservation initiative to permanently protect a portion of St. Paul's 8.65-acre campus at 200 Riverside Avenue in Riverside, Greenwich — some of the last undeveloped land in the neighborhood. Delivered in partnership with the Riverside Association and Greenwich Land Trust, with a $5.2 million initial fundraising goal to purchase and preserve the property in perpetuity. Aimed at local Riverside residents, conservation-minded donors, and community stakeholders.

• Trinity Episcopal Church (Richmond): Another historic mainline Episcopal parish in downtown Richmond, comparable in congregational scale, denomination, and urban-mission orientation. Closest like-for-like peer in the same market.
• St. John's Episcopal Church (Greenwich): Mainline Episcopal parish in the same Greenwich market with comparable real-estate footprint and affluent-donor base; the most direct denominational peer for the Riverside campus.
• Christ Church Episcopal (Greenwich): Large, historic Episcopal congregation in Greenwich with substantial real-estate holdings and capital-campaign experience; comparable in geography, denomination, and donor profile.

Emerging players

• Riverside Association (Greenwich): Civic association co-leading the open-space preservation effort with St. Paul's; comparable in neighborhood-level mission focus and donor-driven operating model.
• Greenwich Land Trust: Direct partner on the $5.2M open-space campaign; a comparable conservation nonprofit operating in the same Greenwich geography, providing a model for outcomes-based mission delivery.

Broad incumbents

• The Episcopal Church (Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society): The denomination-wide governing body that issues the 2016 racial reconciliation focus referenced by St. Paul's; broader incumbent setting the policy and funding framework in which the parish operates.

Regional players

• Richmond Hill (Ecumenical Retreat Center): Ecumenical retreat center in Richmond offering residential spiritual programming; partially overlapping with St. Paul's on pilgrimage/retreat-style mission work in the same geography.

Others

• National Trust for Historic Preservation: National preservation nonprofit whose mission (historic preservation, narrative-driven community engagement) is conceptually adjacent to St. Paul's slave-trail pilgrimage and conservation work.
• Trustees of Reservations: Regional land conservation nonprofit active in the Northeast; comparable operating model to the Greenwich Land Trust and therefore an adjacent peer for the conservation arm of St. Paul's mission.
