 | The Very Reverend
Sam Candler |
Whenever I enter a discussion about the Book of Common Prayer--or, let us say, an argument--I consider who the book's primary revisers and writers have been. I must admit that my "arguments" often have to do with whether we are "following the Prayer Book" correctly. Doesn't the Prayer Book say this? Doesn't the Prayer Book demand that? Yes, it often does. read more. |

 I usher
because I really enjoy greeting attendees, making them feel welcome, and sharing my joy of being a part of this magnificent place and its family of parishioners, clergy, and staff. I try to enhance an individual's experience at the Cathedral whether for Evensong, a Sunday morning service, or a funeral.
I pledge
each year because I know how the Cathedral fulfills the needs and aspirations of its parishioners, visitors, and other recipients of its services. I know that my pledge, when added to many others, helps insure the continuing operation of this place. It's a responsibility of life; not unlike others, but perhaps more so, because it enhances the lives of so many.
