Evening Prayer (Anglican) - Churches Offering Evensong

Churches Offering Evensong

Most cathedrals of the Church of England, from where the service originates, and a large number of college chapels in the University of Durham, Royal Holloway, University of London, University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge offer this service regularly, often daily. In other provinces of the Anglican Communion, such as the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, the Anglican Church of Australia, and the Anglican Church of Canada, it is offered less often, but many parishes hold special Evensong services occasionally.

Evensong is offered regularly at Christ Church Cathedral, Indianapolis; Christ Church Cathedral, Vancouver; Grace Cathedral, San Francisco; Grace Church, Madison, New Jersey; Trinity Church, Princeton, New Jersey; St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo; The Cathedral of St. Peter, St. Petersburg, Fl; The St. Michael and St. George Cathedral, Grahamstown; St James' Church, Sydney, St. John's Cathedral, Brisbane; St. Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne; St Peter's Cathedral, Adelaide; St. James' Cathedral, Toronto; Trinity College Chapel Toronto, St John's Cathedral, St. John's, Newfoundland; and most of the larger churches and cathedrals of the Church of Ireland.

Washington National Cathedral, holds the service five times a week, and Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue in New York, holds it four times each week.

The popularity of evensong has spread to other Protestant denominations, particularly churches of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and United Methodist churches which use a formal liturgical worship style. Examples in the Presbyterian Church include Fourth Presbyterian, Chicago, Illinois, and Independent Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama, both of which offer evensong services on a seasonal basis.
