Early on Easter morning this year, we gathered again in front of the Cathedral, along Peachtree Road. Ever since I arrived here, twelve years ago, we have celebrated the Easter Vigil not on Saturday evening, but as early as possible on Easter morning itself, at 6 a.m. There, in the deep spring darkness, we light the largest fire we can possibly sustain. As most of you know, it is absolutely glorious!

Old Fashioned Sunday School (Room 382)
Rival Stories: The Arian Heresy. Have you heard the claims of modern day theologians that Jesus was a model teacher, but not divine, not the Son of God? If you have, then you already know something about Arianism. There is, perhaps, no heretic who has been demonized by history more than Arias. This class will explore the Arian heresy and the dramatic fourth century struggles it generated. This class will be led by Canon Beth Knowlton.

I hammer, I pledge
I hammer because I have a love and compassion for those compromised in any way in society. You would never think that hammering a nail, caulking windows, or splashing on some paint would bring such joy, but it does for me! Read more. |
