The Rev. Dr. Newell is an ordained minister in the Church of Scotland and one of the most prominent Christian teachers of spirituality in the Western world. Formerly warden of Iona Abbey in the Western Isles of Scotland, he now divides his time between Edinburgh, where he does most of his writing, and traveling and teaching internationally. In 2011 he received the first-ever Contemplative Voices Award from the Shalem Institute in Washington, D.C., in recognition of his work in spirituality and peacemaking. He has authored over 15 books, most recently The Rebirthing of God: Christianity's Struggle for New Beginnings. He is the co-founder of Heartbeat: A Journey Towards Earth’s Wellbeing (heartbeatjourney.org), a scholarship-awarding foundation committed to enabling the articulation of earth-honoring spirituality, the pursuit of interfaith relationship, and the practice of contemplation and action.

Choral Requiem Eucharist for All Faithful Departed Sunday, November 6
4 p.m.
On Sunday, November 6, at 4 p.m., the Cathedral will offer a Choral Requiem Eucharist during which we express the intercommunion of the living with those who have entered into the nearer presence of God, and we remember by name those members and friends of the Cathedral parish who have died in the faith of Christ within the past year. Written as a liturgical work (and sung this day by the Cathedral Choir with a small orchestra and organ), Maurice Duruflé’s setting of the ancient and image-rich Christian texts of the Requiem mass will be sung in its intended context of worship – a fully choral service of Holy Communion – using Duruflé’s original, most intimate orchestration. All are welcome. For those who cannot attend, this service will also be streamed online at stphilipscathedral.org/stream.
