OUR ATLANTA HISTORY
VISION AND MISSION
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!
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, 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).

SUNDAY WORSHIP Worshiping together is an essential part of our life together here at the Cathedral. Each Sunday service includes the Holy Eucharist, also called Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper, the principal act of worship on the Lord’s Day. During the Holy Eucharist service, we gather, hear and respond to the Word, share in Communion, and go forth into the world, to love and serve the Lord. Come worship with us!
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 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 This Spanish-language service gathers in Mikell Chapel and is led by Deacon Juan Sandoval and other Cathedral clergy.
4 P.M. EVENSONG Choral Evensong, sung Evening Prayer, is one of the jewels of the Anglican tradition. Most of the service is sung by the choir. At the conclusion of Evensong, a traditional “liturgy of the table” is offered for those 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.

MUSIC Nearly 50 adult volunteer singers, 12 staff singers, 30 choristers (children and youth), and three volunteer organists, along with our Organist and Artist-inResidence, Organist and Associate Choirmaster, and Canon for Music plan and provide music for approximately 225 Cathedral services and 75 weddings and funerals each year. Opportunities to become involved in the Cathedral’s music ministry are as follows:
CATHEDRAL CHOIR The Cathedral Choir is an auditioned group of volunteers and professional singers which sings for the 11:15 a.m. service each Sunday, for the 8:45 a.m. service once a month, and for various special liturgies throughout the liturgical year. The Cathedral Choir occasionally presents major sacred choral works in concert, often with orchestra; has recorded two internationally released compact discs for Gothic Records; and has undertaken pilgrimages to England to serve as choir-in-residence at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, and the cathedrals in Canterbury, Durham, Salisbury, and York.
CATHEDRAL SCHOLA The Cathedral Schola is a highly skilled chamber choir of auditioned singers selected from the Cathedral Choir. The Schola sings Evensong, Choral Eucharists, and services of Lessons and Carols at 4 p.m. on most Sundays September through May, and performs occasional concerts on their own or with the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra.

CATHEDRAL BOOK STORE JANE BAIRD LECTURE WITH GREG GARRETT
October 18, 2018
Why has the Zombie Apocalypse become one of the most dominant narratives in the Western world? What do people gain from viewing, reading, and playing stories about zombies? Is it possible that these stories about living death can teach us something about living life? Author of Living with the Living Dead and cultural critic Greg Garrett will discuss how zombie stories like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones are retelling some of our most powerful secular and sacred stories.
SPIRITUALITY CONFERENCE WITH BECCA STEVENS
November 3, 2018
For our 2018 spirituality conference, the Reverend Becca Stevens will explore with us the healing power of love and the ways our spiritual practices and work for justice inform each other. In addition to being a dynamic speaker, Becca is an author, Episcopal priest, social entrepreneur, and founder of Magdalene House and Thistle Farms.
“ANSWERING THE CALL TO PRAY” WITH CARL MCCOLMAN
March 23, 2019
With writer, speaker, and spiritual teacher Carl McColman, we will explore wisdom from the Bible concerning prayer, as well as insights from the great saints — holy men and women of the past whose words of inspiration still speak to us today. Our goal will be to “be still and know” — to discover how God’s love is at work in our lives, inspiring us to share that same love with others. This daylong conference is sponsored by the Cathedral Book Store, in partnership with Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church and the Cathedral of Christ the King.
QUIET DAYS AND RETREATS QUIET DAYS Our Quiet Days during Advent (December 1, 2018) and Lent (March 16, 2019) invite us to take a break from the business and “busy-ness” of our everyday lives and listen in an intentional way to God’s invitation in our spiritual journey.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION As Christians, we spend our entire lives, from baptism to death, becoming disciples of Christ and growing in faith. As Episcopalians, this process of formation is shaped, in particular, by our liturgy and life together. Therefore, so are our Education programs. The Cathedral offers programs for all ages and kinds of learners. These programs are intended to equip us for ministry and to foster spiritual growth through meaningful participation in and reflection on our common prayer, community, sacred stories, and mission.
ADULT EDUCATION ON SUNDAY By virtue of our baptism, all of us are called to ministry, whether ordained or not. Our adult education offerings help us live into that call, through teaching about our Scriptures, traditions, practices; cultivating skills for ministry; engaging together in theological reflection and crucial conversations; and building communities of spiritual support. Sunday classes start at 10:10 a.m.

CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES We believe that children of all ages growing up in the church are formed as much outside the classroom as within it. Helping parents to 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. 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. 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. EYSeedlings, a junior youth group for fourth and fifth grade students, meets monthly to engage in more Christian fellowship.
Pariochial Entity CATHEDRAL PRESCHOOL Fosters the development of the whole child, age 2–Kindergarten, through a wellbalanced age-appropriate curriculum.

NURTURING CENTER AND PARENTS’ 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 Parents’ Morning Out (PMO) is “drop in” care for children three months to four years. PMO is offered Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., August through May, with a charge of $40 per child each day. Reservations are recommended, but drop-offs are welcome when space is available. Each child may attend PMO 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 cathedralATL.org/pmo.
THE MARYS AND MARTHAS This group is 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 begins 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! Contact Lisa McNamara, lmcnamara@cathedralATL.org, for more information.
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, 404365-1082 or lmcnamara@cathedralATL.org, to learn more about children’s ministries and ways for you and your family to get connected here.

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 the rhythm of parish life outside the youth program. The sacrament of confirmation, the mature affirmation of faith, is explored in eighth grade with particular attention given to the Apostles’ Creed, Baptismal Covenant and the youth’s desire to take on the promises, made by parents and godparents at baptism, for themselves, as well as what it truly means to be part of the Episcopal Church. 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, serving as mentors within our Confirmation small groups and serving as Senior Choristers. Program highlights for the 2018-2019 year include the continuation of a weekly EYC gathering on Sunday nights, Bible Study on Tuesday evenings, and weekly breakfasts; a mission pilgrimage to Haiti; greater participation in diocesan and church wide youth events; and a restructured Sunday morning experience that allows middle school youth to take a walk through the Bible and high school youth to look at current topics of conversation through the lenses of their faith.
VOLUNTEERING Life in community requires a cycle of leading and participating. Whether you feel called as a leader or not this year, please contact Maggie Paul at 404-3651080 or mpaul@cathedralATL.org to learn more about youth ministries and ways for you and your family to get connected here.

HISPANIC MINISTRIES El servicio hispano está dirigido por el reverendo diácono Juan Sandoval. El servicio se lleva a cabo en la Capilla de Mikell a las 11:15 de la mañana cada domingo. Esto permite que la comunidad hispana se incorpore más plenamente a la vida de la Catedral que su horario de la tarde anterior. En 2016, ha habido ocho bautismos, una confirmanda; 16 niños completaron la Eucaristía instruida, tres presentaciones de un niño al Señor, y una boda. Ha habido seis quinciñeras y hay tres programadas en el próximo año, y ahora tenemos instrucción de confirmación con toda la iglesia y coordinado por Maggie Paul. Además, tuvimos dos niños (subiendo 6 y 7) asistir a campamento de verano en el Camp Mikell. La Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe -una fiesta importante en la comunidad latina- se celebrará alrededor del 11 de diciembre. También esperamos tener una Posada en diciembre, recordando el viaje de María y José a Belén. Seguiremos sirviendo a la comunidad con bautismos, quinciñeras, bodas, presentaciones, comunión instruida, clases de confirmación y educación de adultos. Dos temas bajo consideración son una clase de ESL y un servicio comunitario mensual. Todos son bienvenidos para asistir a estos servicios en español.
COMMUNITY
The Hispanic worship service is guided by the Rev. Deacon Juan Sandoval. 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. In 2017 there were eight baptisms, nine confirmations, 16 children who completed the instructed Eucharist, three presentations of a child to the Lord, and one wedding. There have been six quinciñeras and there are two more scheduled in the coming year. Our confirmation candidates have started attending confirmation instruction led by Maggie Paul. Additionally, we had two children (rising 6th and 7th graders) attend summer camp at Camp Mikell. The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe—a major feast in the Latino community—will be held on or about 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. Two items under consideration are an ESL class and a monthly community service. All are welcome to attend these Spanish-language services.

In addition to basic contact information, you will need to provide the name of the church where you were last a member. A transfer request will be sent to your previous church. All baptized Christians are welcome to join the Cathedral in this way. If you have not been baptized, please contact Lisa McNamara at 404-365-1082 or lmcnamara@ cathedralATL.org to meet with other adults in an enriching process leading to baptism.

Please also contact Lisa for information on baptizing children.
There are several different categories of membership. The word “member” denotes either a confirmed communicant or baptized member:
CONFIRMED MEMBERS Confirmed communicants are baptized persons who have been confirmed in, or received into, the Episcopal Church and whose names are enrolled in the parish register. Names are enrolled either by confirmation, reception, or letter of transfer from another Episcopal Church. One must be listed in the parish register to be eligible to vote in parish elections and to hold various offices in the church.
BAPTIZED MEMBERS All baptized persons of any age may be enrolled in the parish register. Names are enrolled either by baptism, letter of transfer or personal request.
ASSOCIATES Associates are persons who are active in the life of this congregation (through worship, giving, or program participation), but whose official membership remains elsewhere.
STEWARDSHIP
Parochial Entity EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN Supports the efforts of all members of the Cathedral in order to help people find Christian community through service, study, and worship. Caroline Wallace, 2018 President 404-218-8989, cfwallace2@comcast.net
All parishioners are given the opportunity and privilege of making an annual pledge. When you are asked to make a monetary pledge and to participate in the work of this Cathedral, please do so knowing that you are giving back a part of God’s gifts to you. Gifts to the operating budget support the day-to-day expenses of the parish such as salaries for clergy and lay staff, utility expenses, and outreach. The stewardship campaign begins in September and culminates with an ingathering of pledges on Parish Meeting Sunday. If you have questions about your pledge, a payment, or other gifts, please contact David Rocchio, director of stewardship at 404-365-1033. More information is available at cathedralATL.org/giving.

OUTREACH When we gather for Holy Eucharist, we are sent out at the end of the service with the dismissal: “Go in peace, to love and serve the Lord!” We are a sent people, who seek to love and serve God wherever we go and whatever we are doing. We are also pilgrims, who go with the expectation of encountering God through others and of being renewed and transformed by that encounter. As a Cathedral, we reach out through specific Cathedral outreach programs, our hospitality as a “house of prayer for all people,” our parochial entities, volunteer and financial support of partner ministries, and, most important, the many ways that Cathedral parishioners respond to Jesus’ commission throughout their lives. Our Cathedral outreach programs seek to be a sign of Christ’s love, mercy, and justice in this world, while nurturing spiritual growth and community among those who participate in them. These ministries focus on three areas: homelessness and homelessness prevention, at-risk children, and prison-related ministries. Below are some of the many opportunities for you to go with us! For more information, contact Canon Lauren Holder at lholder@cathedralATL.org.
MISSION
PRISON MINISTRIES
24
The Cathedral makes regular Saturday visits to the Children’s Center at Arrendale State Prison, which helps maintain and strengthen relationships between incarcerated mothers and their children. We also offer a re-entry class on Mondays at Arrendale State Prison, covering everything from budgeting to social media. In addition, under the leadership of Cathedral member Hunter Tison, we have a long-standing relationship with Soul Changers, a non-profit organization that provides residential recovery and post-incarceration services to indigent men and women. We always need volunteers who can share their time and talent to help those in prison or returning from prison.
404-365-1000 | cathedralATL.org |
MINISTRIES FOR AT-RISK CHILDREN AND FAMILIES Our LaAmistad After-School Program serves Latino students from Garden Hills Elementary School and their families, by providing tutoring, mentoring, and a safe, fun place for the children to spend the afternoon. The program meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:45–5 p.m., when school is in session. Volunteers help by tutoring, mentoring, and building friendships with the students. Volunteers are also needed for special events, like the blessing of backpacks, costume blessing, and Advent wreathmaking, to name a few. We have recently started offering ESL classes for parents. Spanish language skills are not necessary for tutors. The Cathedral has a long-standing partnership with Emmaus House, an Episcopal church and community center that provides education, opportunity, and advocacy in Peoplestown. Cathedral members support Emmaus House in many ways, including serving on the board, collecting toys for Christmas, and providing dinner for programs. Emmaus House leaders also visit the Cathedral to help teach us about their work and poverty in our city. One of our newer partnerships and ministries is with Eternal Hope in Haiti, a Georgia-based nonprofit agency that provides healthcare and nutritional services through mobile medical clinics and that operates an orphanage for medically fragile children. Cathedral members can support this ministry by participating in our mission-pilgrimages, supporting Cathedral youth in their fund-raising, and organizing or contributing to collections of needed items.

HOMELESSNESS AND HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION This year, we will celebrate the 31st anniversary of our Habitat for Humanity ministry! For the last thirty springs, Cathedral members have come together with four other churches to build a home for a family that otherwise could not dream of home ownership. Whether you are comfortable with a hammer, want to learn to be comfortable with a hammer, or just want to help feed the crew, this is a great way to build up our community in positive ways and to connect with other parishioners. Another important partner in this area is Buckhead Christian Ministry (BCM), which provides emergency financial assistance and supportive services to individuals and families to promote longer-term
financial independence. The Cathedral helps BCM by conducting two food drives a year, collecting toys at Christmas, and providing volunteers and financial support. We love and serve our homeless brothers and sisters at Church of the Common Ground every-othermonth and our friends with special needs at Church of the Holy Comforter several times a year, where we are welcomed to join in worship and to serve and share in a community meal. And we welcome our homeless neighbors here at the Cathedral, too, especially at our annual Homeless Requiem on All Saints’ Day, November 1. In addition to the requiem service, we host a dinner and service fair to help our guests connect with service providers.

PASTORAL CARE CONGREGATIONAL CARE The Pastoral Care Guild is composed of volunteers who keep in touch with those on the Cathedral prayer list, and those who are no longer able to attend church. 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. 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 prayer services, 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.
MISSION
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 ministry does not have the experience, personnel, or resources to provide long-term care, case management, or financial assistance. However, we do have the ability to connect you with agencies whose mission is to provide such care.

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-today 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.
