"St. John’s Park Slope describes itself as the second-oldest Episcopal church in Brooklyn, and adds: 'But don’t let our age fool you, we’re just getting started.'

Ben DeHart has come to St. John’s with great enthusiasm, vision, and a working ecclesiology that fits perfectly into a renewed sense of mutual responsibility and interdependence within the congregation, the deanery, and the diocese.'"
