A WORD FROM THE CLIMATE JUSTICE CATHEDRAL COMMITTEE
The Land to which we refer weekly in the “Land Acknowledgement” is Sacred ground; the ground of our very being who we are. This same Land is now under threat of extinction. May the wholesomeness of this Land give rise to the wholeness within us to do all we can to not let this happen.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR GENEROSITY TEAM
TAP DEVICE In an effort to provide an easy and efficient way for visitors to give to the life of our community, the Generosity Team has installed a “Tap” device at the back of the church near the baptismal font. Matthew Green worked with the team to design a banner to draw visitors attention to this option. The banner depicts snap shots of our collective life together. Each “tap” provides a $5.00 donation to the Cathedral, minus an administrative fee of approximately 5%. During Art Crawls and other open Cathedral events, we will also continue to provide donation boxes strategically placed throughout the Cathedral if visitors wish to donate by way of cash. While we anticipate that Tap will be used primarily during open Cathedral events, it is available at all times for anyone who is visiting us, including during any of our service times.

DIGGING DEEPER ANGLICANISM 101
Anglicanism is rich with symbolism and history, but even if you've been Anglican for years, you might not know why we do all the things we do. This series of talks is aimed at explaining the basic structure of the liturgy, some simple Anglican history (if there is such a thing), and a little about the structure and culture of the church. (I could certainly still learn more from some of you!) -Matthew Green- |
CATHEDRAL CAFE
