FROM THE DEAN OUR ATLANTA HISTORY Before we were designated the cathedral parish of Atlanta, St. Philip’s Episcopal Church was established in 1846 with five communicants. Our first building was across from the new State Capitol on what is now the corner of Washington Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.

By 1875 we were the largest Episcopal parish in Georgia, and in 1904, we became the Cathedral of the Diocese of Georgia.

(All of the state was one diocese at that time.) We were in our third building.

By the 1930s the streets of Atlanta had been built up higher than the entrance to St. Philip’s, and much of the parish had moved away. In 1933, under the leadership of the courageous Dean Raimundo De Ovies, St. Philip’s Cathedral moved to its present location.

The “little gray church” was built atop the hill at Andrews Drive and Peachtree, with its doors opening to the city.

The present Mikell Chapel was finished in 1947. De Ovies Memorial Hall, planned to house offices for both the Cathedral and the Diocese, was completed in 1951. The parish hall was completed in 1955. The grand Cathedral proper (replacing the little gray church) was dedicated and first used in 1962, and it was

consecrated in 1980 when debt was retired.

Now more than 170 years old, the Cathedral of St. Philip seeks to continue its history of service to the city and Diocese of Atlanta. We hope that our beacon on the hill can deliver the light of Jesus Christ to the world.

We seek to be a Christian community of faith, willing and able to let the light of Jesus shine not just in ourselves but in the world around us!

VISION AND MISSION Every year God gives us a new way to present the vision and mission of the Cathedral of St. Philip. We have described our mission as: “to know Christ and to make Christ known.” We have used the mission statement in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer: “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ” (page 855).

In recent years we have used the phrase “to serve.” We serve one another with love and honor. We serve the city, the diocese, and the world. What do we serve? We serve, that is, we offer the grace, excellence, and hospitality of Jesus Christ our Lord.

We have understood our mission as “a light on the hill.” We are a beacon set on the hill at Peachtree and Andrews,

404-365-1000 | stphilipscathedral.org |

shining the light of Jesus Christ.

How do we now describe our mission? It has to be a continuation of God’s light. We believe that God is still saying to the community of the Cathedral of St. Philip, “Let your light shine!” We have only just begun.

“Let your light shine” also refers to God’s light in our hearts. God has given every Cathedral believer a measure of light and grace. It is our mission to “let that light shine.” Shine some grace on your friend or neighbor! Jesus said not only that “I am the light of the world” ( John 8:12), but he also said, “You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).

The Very Rev. Samuel G. Candler Dean of the Cathedral

WORSHIP SUNDAY WORSHIP Unless otherwise noted, each Sunday service of worship at the Cathedral includes the Holy Eucharist, also called Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper, the principal act of worship on the Lord’s Day. The structure of Word and Sacrament features a sermon and an opportunity for the faithful to receive Christ.

7:45 A.M. HOLY EUCHARIST A consistent community meets in Mikell Chapel, the oldest structure in the Cathedral, at 7:45 a.m. for a traditional liturgy without music. The service is quiet and meditative. We use the Rite I liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer.

8:45 A.M. HOLY EUCHARIST The attendance at the 8:45 a.m. service is the largest and most diverse of the parish. We rejoice and laugh with the children who are a large presence here: the sermons, prayers, and hymns are intentionally developed to have a wide and educational appeal. This service maintains the grandeur and grace of the Anglican tradition, while offering community and fellowship for young families. Should one be coming to the

4

Episcopal Church from another tradition, this is our most accessible service.

9 A.M. HOLY EUCHARIST The 9 a.m. service celebrates our most traditional (Rite I) Eucharist with organ music and hymns in the beautiful intimacy of Mikell Chapel.

The small community offers the feel of being in a typical Episcopal parish.

11:15 A.M. HOLY EUCHARIST The 11:15 a.m. Eucharist presents the splendor of the Christian faith in its most glorious Anglican fashion. Our music, prayers, and sermons draw upon the finest sources of our tradition.

11:15 A.M. LA SANTA EUCARISTÍA

BETWEEN SUNDAYS 8:45 A.M. MORNING PRAYER Monday-Saturday, Mikell Chapel

12:15 P.M. HOLY EUCHARIST Monday-Friday, St. Mary’s Chapel

offer a meditation to fit the occasion. At the conclusion of Evensong, a traditional “liturgy of the table” is offered for those in our Cathedral community who desire Holy Communion. Occasionally, a Choral Eucharist, a Diocesan Confirmation, or a special sung service of prayer takes the place of 4 p.m. Evensong.

Most Mondays and Fridays, Child Hall Call 404-365-1000 to confirm availability.

MUSIC

stphilipscathedral

Approximately 75 volunteer singers, twelve staff singers, and three volunteer organists, along with our assistant organist-choirmaster, associate organistchoirmaster and the canon for music, provide music for more than 225 Cathedral services and 75 weddings and funerals each year. A listing of the choral programs and other opportunities of the Music Department follows:

CATHEDRAL CHOIR The Cathedral Choir is an auditioned group of volunteers and professional singers. This choir sings for the 11:15 a.m. service each Sunday, for the 8:45 a.m. service once a month, and for special liturgies during Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and on some of the major feasts of the Church year. Once a year the Cathedral Choir typically presents major sacred choral works in concert with orchestra. The Cathedral Choir sang in residence at St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, and Canterbury Cathedral, 2013, and will return to England in 2017 to serve as choir-in-residence at Salisbury and Durham cathedrals.

CATHEDRAL SCHOLA The Cathedral Schola is a highly skilled chamber choir of auditioned singers from the Cathedral Choir who sing Evensong, Choral Eucharists, and services of Lessons and Carols at 4 p.m. on most Sundays September through May.

CATHEDRAL CHORISTERS The Cathedral Chorister program is a broadly conceived educational opportunity for children that combines musical training with the nurturing of the whole person through character development and Christian formation.

The Choir is open to boys in third grade to voice change, and to girls in third grade through high school. Novices and Junior Choristers sing for the 8:45 a.m. service once or twice a month. Senior

Choristers sing two Sundays a month (often with professional members of the Cathedral Choir). All of the Choristers sing for special services on Christmas Eve and Easter Day. The Choristers rehearse on Monday evenings and Wednesday evenings, September through May.

ALLEGRO: MUSIC FOR YOUNG CHILDREN The Music Department and Children’s Ministries jointly sponsor Allegro: music for young children and the Allegro choir for kindergarten, first and second grades for our pre-chorister-age youngsters.

Using play, movement, singing and musical instruments, children develop musical skills and an appreciation for music. The program is divided into groups by age, from birth through second grade.

To register your child for one of these programs and for more information about the choirs and music at the Cathedral, contact Timothy Gunter at 404-3651050 or tgunter@stphilipscathedral.org.

VOLUNTEER MUSICIANS Volunteer organists lead the music in Mikell Chapel each Sunday at 9 a.m.

Trained and experienced players of a keyboard or any other instrument are welcome to make known their interest in volunteering by contacting Timothy Gunter in the music office at 404-3651050 or tgunter@stphilipscathedral.org.

Another wonderful opportunity to contribute is by offering your musical talents as a musician leader for Children’s Chapel, held at 8:45 a.m. on Sunday morning. We have a service for the 3-year-olds through kindergarten in the Children’s Chapel and a service for first through fifth graders in St. Mary’s during this hour. If you wish to lead singing or play an instrument for Sunday Children’s Chapel, please contact Sara Chapman, 404-966-6602 or sarachapman@westminster.net.

FRIENDS OF CATHEDRAL MUSIC Its mission is to enrich the life of the Cathedral and the broader community by helping to facilitate the presentation of major sacred masterworks and other sacred musical encounters that exceed the normal bounds of the Cathedral’s music budget and rich liturgical life, whether performed by the Cathedral Choirs or by other nationally and internationally renowned choirs and solo artists. Friends does this by providing financial support for these programs, and by providing hospitality, thereby ensuring the availability of necessary professional and volunteer personnel. To join as a supporting member, please send a check made out to the Cathedral of St. Philip, designated for the Friends of Cathedral Music, to the attention of Timothy Gunter at the Cathedral. The organization is guided by a volunteer board of directors.

Together, we will explore topics like economic justice, criminal justice, and the new Civil Rights movement, with attention to how we can respond as Episcopalians.

stphilipscathedral

PASTORAL CARE The Cathedral offers the values of Philip the Deacon—grace, excellence, and hospitality—in the midst difficulty and transition. Philip had the grace to baptize the eunuch. He had the excellence to explain the gospel.

Philip had the hospitality to join the Ethiopian eunuch; he got up into the chariot with him (Acts 8:26–40).

After Philip baptizes the Ethiopian eunuch, scripture says he is “snatched up” and disappears. This serves as a reminder that our mission is to offer care during transitions. The pastoral care department does not have the experience, personnel, or resources to provide longterm care, case management, or financial assistance. However, we do have the ability to connect you with agencies whose mission is to provide such care.

LUNCH AND LEARN

Second Wednesday of each month

These monthly luncheons are hosted by the pastoral care department and the Cathedral Counseling Center.

They provide an opportunity to learn ways to extend support to others and about pastoral topics, like grief and loss, leadership, divorce, and parenting.

SUNDAY CLASSES In August and September, Canon Wallace Marsh will lead a series on grief and suffering, based upon Henri Nouwen’s book, Turn My Mourning Into Dancing. How do we help ourselves and others turn mourning into dancing?

In October, he will lead a series on the theology of suffering .These classes will also address helpful (and unhelpful) things to say to someone who might be suffering.

In November and December, the Rev. Dr. Bill Harkins will lead a series that explores important pastoral concepts and themes. The class will draw upon these lectures to create a liturgy, Blue Christmas, for those mourning during the holidays.

CONGREGATIONAL CARE The Pastoral Care Guild is composed of volunteers who call upon and visit those on the Cathedral prayer list, and those who are no longer able attend church.

This guild meets once a month to discuss best practices in pastoral care and is led by Canon Wallace Marsh, Deacon Juan Sandoval, and Jeannie Mahood.

Lay Eucharistic Visitors participate in the Sunday Eucharist as they are sent out to take the sacraments to those who are sick or unable to attend church. This group

404-365-1000 | stphilipscathedral.org |

of volunteers is also invited to participate in the monthly Pastoral Care Guild meetings. In addition to volunteers, we are looking for names of parishioners to visit.

Clergy and other volunteers regularly visit Cathedral Towers, Canterbury Court and Lenbrook Square. In addition to visiting senior communities, Canon Carolynne Williams helps coordinate events and programs for elders.

Grief groups meet throughout the year and are designed for those who have lost a loved one and struggling with grief.

The grief groups are led by Meg Moye from the Cathedral Counseling Center.

The Cathedral has an active prayer list that is prayed by many different groups.

We also include the list in our Sunday services. We encourage parishioners to add their names or the name of someone else (with their permission) to the prayer list.

CHILDREN We believe that children and youth growing up in the church are formed at least as much outside the classroom as within it. We aim to provide opportunities for children and youth to grow and flourish as members of our particular Christian community, offering them the language and experiences necessary to fully take part in the life of the church not just as adults, but here and now. Helping parents, children, and youth access age appropriate ways to participate in and reflect on our liturgical life, our sacred stories, our call to Christian service, our charge to share the Good News, and our shared spiritual life is essential to our ministry with children and youth.

CHILDREN The Anglican liturgy is the cornerstone of our identity as Episcopalians and participation in the liturgy is an essential part of children’s Christian formation.

Children are always welcome in church, children’s chapels follow the structure of the Liturgy of the Word before children join their parents for Eucharist, and our Sunday School classes are organized to reflect the pattern of gathering, story, response, prayer, feast, and dismissal found in our communal worship.

16

Godly Play is at the heart of our Sunday morning classes and the Godly Play philosophy permeates all that we do with children and families at the Cathedral. In short, that means that we take children and their relationship with God seriously and seek to provide both space to foster encounters with God and the language necessary to make meaning of those experiences. Within the Godly Play classroom, the Biblical narrative is lovingly presented to children using beautiful materials with an invitation to step into each story with awe and wonder. Children are then allowed time to respond to and reflect on their experience of the story.

Seasonal celebrations are occasions for both Christian fellowship and service for children and their families. We take care to mark both the secular and liturgical year with events such as the beginning of the school year back pack blessing, Halloween costume blessing, Advent wreath making, St. Nicholas celebration, Christmas present collection and wrapping, Lenten family services, and Week of Wonder, our Vacation Bible School. This year we will begin a new program called EYSeedlings, a monthly junior youth group for fourth and fifth grade students who are ready for more Christian fellowship.

404-365-1000 | stphilipscathedral.org |

YOUTH As Middle School students begin their journey to find their place in the world beyond their family identity, a firm grasp of their place in the narrative of our faith and touchstones of Episcopal identity become the focus of our programs. The foundation laid in Godly Play is built on through further exploration of story and continuing emphasis on Christian fellowship and service during Sunday School classes, EYC gatherings and mission work, and engagement in rhythm of parish life outside the youth program.

The sacrament of confirmation, the mature affirmation of faith, is explored in the eighth grade with particular attention given to the Baptismal Covenant and the youth’s desire to take on the promises, made by parents and godparents at baptism, for themselves. In addition to the study, work, and fellowship available to the middle school youth, high school students have the opportunity to take on leadership roles within the youth community and the parish at large, assisting with Bible studies, helping to plan youth outings, serving as acolyte team captains, and teaching Sunday School classes.

The addition of two youth ministry

stphilipscathedral

AND YOUTH interns to our staff this year has allowed us to expand the particular ways we work towards our youth ministry goals.

Program highlights for the 2015-2016 year include the return of a weekly EYC gathering on Sunday nights, continued Bible study on Tuesday evenings, weekly breakfasts, several additional youth trips, greater participation in diocesan and church wide youth events, attention to the acolyte guild as its own important ministry, and a restructured Sunday morning experience that allows youth more input in their Sunday School classes.

PARENTS THE NURTURING CENTER / MOTHER’S MORNING OUT While all children are invited to participate fully in the liturgies here, we understand that some parents are more comfortable having their young children cared for by our professional and loving nurturing center staff during Sunday morning services. The Nurturing Center is open for children four and younger from 8:30 a.m. through the end of the 11:15 a.m. service each week.

Our Mother’s Morning Out (MMO) is “drop in” care for children three

months to four years. MMO is offered Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., August through May, with a charge of $35 per child each day. Reservations are recommended, but drop-offs are welcome when space is available. Each child may attend MMO a maximum of 8 hours per week. There is a registration fee of $45 each fall which must be turned in with the registration form and child’s immunization records. Learn more at stphilipscathedral.org/mmo.

VOLUNTEERING Life in community requires a cycle of leading and participating. Whether you feel called as a leader or not this year, please contact Lisa McNamara, 404-365-1082 or lmcnamara@ stphilipscathedral.org, to learn more about children’s ministries and or Maggie Paul, 404-365-1080 or mpaul@ stphilipscathedral.org, to learn more about youth ministries and ways for you and your family to get connected here.

THE MARYS AND MARTHAS A way for parents to be connected with their children’s spiritual formation.

Mary sat at Jesus’s feet and listened while Martha bustled about, making the necessary preparations. Each meeting begin with a Godly Play story, including time for reflection. Then, we get to work making sure our Godly Play rooms are as beautiful and carefully prepared as they can be for the children who use them each week. All are welcome, but please sign up in advance so we will be prepared with plenty of wine and snacks!

HISPANIC MINISTRIES The Hispanic service is guided by the Rev. Deacon Juan Sandoval, who was permanently assigned to Cathedral staff in August 2015. The service is held in Mikell Chapel at 11:15 a.m. each Sunday.

This allows the Hispanic community to more fully incorporate into the life of the Cathedral than its previous afternoon time slot. Since August 2015, there have been twelve baptisms, five confirmands, nine children in the instructed Eucharist, three presentations of a child to the Lord, and one wedding. There are two quinciñeras scheduled, one in November and one in December, and we are discussing confirmation instruction for the December Diocesan Confirmation. The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe—a major feast in the Hispanic community—will be held on December 11. We also hope to have a Posada in December, remembering the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. We will continue to serve the community with baptisms, quinciñeras, weddings, presentations, instructed communion, confirmation classes, and adult education. All are welcome to attend these Spanish-language services.

EFM: EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY

SPIRITUAL FORMATION AND ZENTANGLE Zentangle, a beautiful art form using NURTURE COMMITTEE

Tuesdays, 7–10 p.m., September - May Education for Ministry (EfM) is a fouryear program of the School of Theology of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. Participants commit only one academic year at a time, to participate in weekly, facilitated seminars that combine lesson discussion, theological reflection, worship, and community formation. Over the course of the four years, students study the Bible, church history, and theology, while reflecting on ministry and developing a wonderful spiritual community. For more information, contact Rick Tyler, 404-375-6470.

CENTERING PRAYER Centering prayer is a spiritual practice of quiet reflection that gives us a chance to open ourselves to the mystery of God’s presence within us. In addition to the morning retreats listed above, we have two centering prayer groups, which meet weekly in the Lanier House.

They gather on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. and on Thursdays at 4 p.m.

TAIZÉ Taizé is an ecumenical monastic community in southern France that developed a beautiful style of prayer and attracts more than 2,000 visitors a week.

During this service, simple chants are sung repetitiously; these chants become prayers of the heart. Scripture is heard, and there is an extended period of silent prayer. For more information, contact Sandra Carey, 404-680-0438. The service is offered every third Monday of the month from 8–9 p.m. in Mikell Chapel.

A group of people committed to fostering spiritual formation at the Cathedral meets regularly to plan events. If you are interested in participating, please contact Jeannie Mahood at 404-365-1034.

LABYRINTH The labyrinth is an ancient path of prayer dating back to the medieval period of history. Every third Monday, we offer a facilitated labyrinth walk at 7 p.m., with an orientation at 6:30 p.m. for those new walkers. We also offer special, seasonal walks throughout the year. Brochures about the labyrinths are also available in the Atrium.

Our canvas indoor labyrinth is available in Child Hall most Mondays and Fridays 3–8 p.m. It also may be used at alternate times by prior arrangement.

The outdoor labyrinth in front of the Lanier House is open daily.

CHAPTER The Chapter is the governing body of the Cathedral that determines policy issues, sets goals, and provides stewardship of the Cathedral’s complex operations. The Chapter reviews the activities of each of the Cathedral’s parochial entities and ministries on an annual basis, and reviews the church’s financials on a monthly basis.

Unlike the vestries of smaller parishes, the Chapter does not usually get involved in the day-to-day activities of the Cathedral; instead, the Chapter of the Cathedral functions similarly to a Board of Trustees.

Each year, a Nominating Committee identifies a slate of six candidates for the Chapter. Members are elected at the annual parish meeting in December for a three-year term.
