History
Isaac Everett and Bowie Snodgrass began talking about creating innovative worship experiences the day they met, Ash Wednesday 2004. Two years later, following various collaborations and more experience in their own ministries, conversations evolved into starting a church indigenous to NYC in the 21st Century. God only knows where all this will lead and who all will become part of this emerging liturgical community called Transmission!
Play Dress-Up! in the New Forms Café at Greenbelt 2006 was our first Transmission event, preceeded by a first “house church” in August. We’ve been gathering on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month since October. Each Transmission includes a home-cooked meal, ritual, prayer, and time to be together. We are blessed, as an emerging community and family under God, to be sharing our spiritual journies.
Isaac Everett is a pianist, composer, and audio designer whose music has been called “exquisite and evocative” by NewYorkTheatre.com, “compassionate and brusquely humorous” by New York Press, and who has been dubbed a “way cool dude worth checking out” by The Turning Magazine. His music can be heard nation-wide in churches, synagogues, video games, and web cartoons, and he recently released his debut album, Rotation, which can be bought at CDBaby. Isaac is the artist-in-residence at Sanctuary, a hipster church in Manhattan, a company member of Storahtelling: Ritual Theater Revived, and frequent performer in the off-Broadway rock opera, Automatic Superstar. Isaac has a BM in “Jazz Composition” from NYU and an MA in “Arts and Theology” from Union Theological Seminary.
Bowie Snodgrass is excited to be starting this new project. She was co-convener of the 20/30 Connection at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine from 2003-2005 and was involved in Episcopal campus ministries at Vassar College and Union Theological Seminary, where she received her M.Div. in 2003. Bowie is the Web Content Editor for EpiscopalChurch.org and an active ecumenist, currently on the steering committee of Christian Churches Together in the USA. Born in Manhattan, and raised in the South Bronx and Newark NJ, Bowie attended high school in rural Western New York, and lived in Ireland and Russia before moving to West Harlem in 2000.
The 62nd Street Snodgrasses (Elizabeth, John and Little Jackson) are mostly homebodies, especially little Jackson who was a home-birth on 30 December 2006. Elizabeth is a third-year student at the Weill Cornell Medical College and Union Alumna. John is in his first year at Union Theological Seminary and enjoys writing plays and lyrics.

Hi,
I’m a graduate student at Columbia University and I’m interested in doing a story on Easter at Avalon. Was looking to interview somebody with your group and was wondering who I could contact? Unfortunately my deadline would be tomorrow afternoon, so, if possible, it would be great to connect with somebody today or tomorrow morning.
Thank you,
Reah
