Greetings!
 | | Theresa Johnson, Cathedral Executive. |
In preparation for this week's Dean's Forum on American cathedrals, I've been doing research on amazing Episcopal ministries across the country. It is very inspiring to consider how other cathedrals are reaching out to their communities through art, music and service to those in need. Read more.I will also be talking this week about the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., both a national treasure and part of our unique heritage as Episcopalians. I look forward to sharing with you at our forum this Sunday, Oct. 24, at 9 a.m. in Taliaferro Hall.
All blessings, Theresa
(Our "Cathedrals Through the Ages" class continues Oct. 31 with a presentation from representatives of our choir who traveled to Ely, and on Nov. 7, Joe O'Shields will discuss the history and role of St. John's Cathedral.)
