Canterbury Uptown
“A place for cultivating non-competitive friendships with God and one another”
Welcome!
Canterbury Uptown is a community of students, faculty, and staff presently centered in Morningside Heights at Columbia+Barnard, and we welcome the members of Columbia’s many schools as well as students, faculty, and staff from other universities and colleges around Uptown.
We are an open and inclusive Christian community—LGBTQ+ or straight, citizen or otherwise, originally religious or totally new to this spiritual stuff. We engage in practices ancient and modern—pilgrimage, prayer, Eucharist, and also tacos, apple picking, and outreach
