All Saints' Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church in Beverly Hills, California.
It is located at 504 on North Camden Drive in Beverly Hills, California. [1] [2] [3]
The congregation first met at the Beverly Hills Hotel from 1922 onwards. [4] Four years later, in 1926, a chapel was built. [4] By 1935, it became a parish in its own right. [4]
Several decades later, in 1951, a new church building was erected, though the chapel was preserved. [4] The organ was made by Casavant Frères for the new church in 1951. [5]
Every week, the church serves 'The Monday Meal' to 130 - 150 guests, many of whom are homeless. [6] In March 2012, artist Lisa Lesniak sold her paintings of the homeless as a fundraiser for the church. [7]
The church is a member of the Congregational LGBT Ministries of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. [8]
On Ash Wednesday in 2015, the deacon from All Saints' offered ashes to passers-by on the streets of Beverly Hills together with the deacon of Church of the Good Shepherd. [9]
Rev. J. Herbert Smith served as rector until 1969, when Rev. Kermit Castellanos served as rector until 1975. [10] During the latter's tenure, membership grew from 200 to 1,000. [10] In 1977, Rev. Carol Anderson became the rector. [11] She was the first woman to serve as rector. [11] She was credited with bringing a more charismatic approach to her sermons. [11]
