Welcome to our church

Hornsey Parish Church is part of the Church of England in the Edmonton Area of the Diocese of London, which in turn is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We are a diverse and vibrant church with a congregation representative of the varied community that Hornsey is: young and older; married, single and partnered, straight and gay; British and international. The style of our worship is focused upon the Eucharist. We see our liturgical life as very important: not fussy and celebrated with attention and care. There is something for everyone at Hornsey Parish Church and we hope that can include you too.
Please come and see us – you will be very welcome

Sunday School

We have three Sunday School groups according to age: a crèche for toddlers, Sunday School for children up to the age of eight and Georgians for eight and upwards. These groups leave church during the first hymn and rejoin the main body of the congregation at Communion.

Alcohol and faith – it’s complicated, isn’t it?

To be honest, alcohol is pretty complicated even without the added aspect of faith. On the one hand, a nice glass of wine with dinner. On the other – alcoholism. The one, an ordinary, unremarkable, pleasant part of daily life. The other, a destroyer of lives. It’s a challenge we live with all the time – we all know that alcoholism is brutal but it’s not a problem for all of us, so we learn to look away.

And that complexity is particularly challenging in the context of the Christian faith. Because there’s no getting away from it – alcohol is at the heart of our faith, literally part of the centrepiece of Christian worship. When we gather on a Sunday to give praise and thanksgiving to the God who creates, loves and sustains us, we do so with wine. When we remember, in holiness and awe, Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection, we do it with wine. And we do it because Jesus commanded us to – “Drink this, all of you”, he said. “Do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me”. Read more
