It has to be a lot for the good folks at Christ Church. Aside from the duties of keeping a congregation, church, and churchyard, that churchyard happens to be home to one of our enduring authors: James Fenimore Cooper. And, to be frank, that churchyard gets a lot of visitors for Cooper. Not only do all involved discharge their duties with grace and aplomb, they do so for those interested in the secular equally to those interested in the spiritual.
The church is beautiful. I visited the cemetery to see the resting place of the town's founders and famous author, James Fenimore Cooper, who was a parishioner here. The choir was practicing and the church doors were open to let in the fresh spring air. I could hear their voices throughout the churchyard. Peaceful.
