November 30, 1913 - February 26, 2021

With heavy hearts we announce the death of Vera Crane, who was the senior member of All Saints' Church. Vera had been a member of our parish since moving to Brooklyn with her family in 1927 and was an active and beloved member of the church until moving to the House of the Good Shepherd in New Jersey in 2017. Vera was known for her quick wit, deep love of her family, and constant faith. She died peacefully on Friday at the age of 107.

A Celebration of Vera's life will take place at All Saints' on Wednesday, March 3 at 12:00 noon. There will be limited in-person attendance as well as a livestream of the service at allsaintsparkslope.org and on Facebook Live. A burial will take place at Green-Wood Cemetery following the service with family only in attendance. 

We grieve the death of our sister Vera at the same time that we celebrate a life so fully lived. Please pray for Vera and her family as they mourn the loss of such a remarkable person. 

Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to you our sister Vera, who was reborn by water and the Spirit in Holy Baptism. Grant that her death may recall to us your victory over death, and be an occasion for us to renew our trust in your Father's love. Give us, we pray, the faith to follow where you have led the way; and where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, to the ages of ages. Amen.

All Saints’ is proud to stand as an inclusive community that embraces and celebrates our diversity in response to biblical teaching: “The Lord God has told us what is right and what He demands: “See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God - Micah 6:8 (CEV). We reject hate and injustice in all forms. We are committed to examining the history of the Church, identifying racial inequities, developing inclusive programming, promoting culturally diverse leadership, and creating mentoring opportunities for youth. We provide a safe space that ensures our actions foster racial equality and social justice. We pledge to support organizations that are social justice focused and welcome all voices from our community and beyond to share their lived experiences.

 

We promote and solidify our anti-racist and social equity platform by educating and challenging our community to work, grow and create through: 


● Forums, book/film discussions for adults and youth addressing areas of systemic racism and social inequity (i.e. police brutality, discriminatory practices) 

● Participating in social justice events 

● A relaunch of the Health Ministry with a focus on racial health disparities 

● Recommitting to participation in civic coalitions (e.g. criminal justice reform; Black Lives Matter movement) 


We seek to ensure a fair and inclusive future by: 

● Examination of racial integration at All Saints’ with a commitment to intentionally

participate in our cultural activities 

● Celebration of exemplary figures by holding up their witness and adding religious icons of color

​to our space (e.g. Absalom Jones)
