 Julian Gathering
December 8th at St. Dunstan's, Madison
Julian of Norwich was a 15th Century English mystic and anchoress. [What's an anchoress? In the Middle Ages, certain women and men chose to live a life intensely devoted to prayer permanently enclosed in a small room, called an anchorhold, attached to a parish church.] Little is known about Julian's life, but she wrote a book . . . Nearly forgotten for 600 years, Julian's insights and gentle wisdom are becoming ever more widely known and appreciated . . .

New Dean Installed at Cathedral on November 7th
YEEEEEEEEEhah!
This is not what one expects to hear following a Bach prelude and a stirring hymn!
Look at all these people!
Let's get this party started!
Having captured the attention of all 200 or so in nave and sanctuary, the Rev. Gary Manning and the Rev. Debra Trakel conversed with each other, albeit thoroughly miced for a rest of us, about the "the immense history of this place." They challenged us, the present saints in the company of past saints around us, that "this living history begins again today," with the installation of the Rev. Kevin Charles Carroll as the nineteenth dean of All Saints' Cathedral.
