I attended the services for the Fourth Week of Advent and Christmas Eve (which happened to be on the same day this past year) and immensely enjoyed partaking in congregational worship and listening to the excellent choir. At the conclusion of the morning service, I was warmly welcomed by the Rector, Priest Associate, and Choirmaster, who upon hearing that I was an amateur organist, kindly welcomed me to play on the console. Finally, I had a chance to tour the historical church in between services and was not disappointed. I would highly recommend taking the time to at least walk through the church if you are in the area of Brown University.

S. Stephen's (Episcopal) is surrounded by Brown University (when built in 1862 it was on the edge) close to downtown Providence. Designed by Richard Upjohn, prominent 19th century architect, the church has been smells + bells with the finest of music, lead by choirmaster James Busby. When visiting or just moving to the Providence area, do stop by and experience this incredible place and people.

My family recently attended church here for Easter service. I am a devout Episcopalian and left halfway through. Tour the church for the architecture; but if you go for a servicedon't expect a welcome or inclusion. Extremely depressing and discouraging.
