Starting at sunset--7:41 p.m.--on Thursday, April 28, the diocesan Young Adult Advisory Committee and the Episcopal Chaplaincy at Harvard are teaming up to co-host a spring revival in the chaplaincy’s backyard at 2 Garden Street in Cambridge, with music by the Appalachian string band, The Onlies, smoked meats and homemade pies, and the chance to meet new people. 

“We’re looking to create spaces where young Episcopalians can find one another and build relationships and lessen both the isolation of the pandemic and also the isolation, sometimes, of being one of only a few people in our age group in many of our parishes,” the Rev. Isaac Martinez, a member of the Young Adult Advisory Committee, said in a Zoom interview.
