Special Guests: Taking a Stance – The Holly Ball Affair, 1950s-1970s
Sunday Apr/06/2025 @ 11:30 amFree Event
Parishioner, lifelong area resident, and history teacher John McNally talks to us about one of the most famous events for St. James on a national stage: the rector’s refusal of Communion to the parishioners who denied access to a young Christian man of Jewish parentage to the Scarsdale Golf Club’s annual debutante ball, the Holly Ball. John will be joined by Geff Kempsell, the rector’s son, the Rev. George Kempsell, who remembers the event and its aftermath well, and local rabbis.
