Neurodiverse Worship

Hi, I’m Amy Pringle (she/her), the priest at St. George’s, and I lead the worship services. I’m glad you found our website, and hope you’ll find lots of good information here.

The Neurodiverse Service is brand new, launching in February 2024, and while we’ve tried to think ahead for every need and provision, we ask for both your input and your patience, while we learn as we go, and adapt to the specific needs of people who attend.

Why are we starting this service? People rent space at St. George’s who specialize in various ways of supporting neurodiversity, so there’s a pretty wide spectrum of people on campus already. Gradually, we’ve developed a vision not only to offer a worship service and rent a few rooms, but eventually to devote our whole 2.5-acre property to serving the neurodiverse community.

Knowing that the ‘diversity’ part of neurodiversity is real, we’re glad to have the physical space to invite many different practitioners who can address any combination of needs, all in one place. We can’t cover every need yet, but we’ve made a good start.

We want St. George’s to be a place on earth where no one is the odd one out; where people and families can meet and make friends with others who experience life in similar ways; where people can feel just a little bit lighter by remembering that they’re not alone; and where spiritual resources can help provide peace and hope to us all.

Please feel free to email me with questions, or to set up a time to meet me before coming to a Sunday service, if you want.
