THE RICH AND THE POOR MEET TOGETHER Excerpts from the sermon by the Very Rev. Sam Candler, Dean of the Cathedral, September 9, 2018. Read or watch the full sermon at cathedralATL.org/sermons. I have so many favorite places on this beautiful Cathedral campus! But surely one of my most favorites is called the Cathedral “Overlook.” If you exit the Cathedral from one of the narthex doors, and head south, that is, towards downtown Atlanta, you will come to that place, at the very point of our stewardship, looking straight down the spine of Atlanta, Peachtree Road. That is the place which most of Atlanta sees when we drive north on Peachtree Road: the strong and steady Cathedral tower, and the Overlook. On that terrace, the Overlook, is a large slab of stone from one of the first Cathedral structures, our second church, constructed around 1888 across from the State Capital (before St. Philip’s moved to this location). This stone slab is not the cornerstone from that building, but it is a piece from one of the arches over the door. Maybe it was a keystone from one of those archways. At that Overlook, I stand looking southward over Atlanta, and I read the words on the stone below. They are the same words that we heard this morning from Proverbs, chapter twenty-two, verse two: The rich and the poor meet together. The Lord is the maker of them all. (Our NRSV version today reads: “The rich and the poor have this in common. The Lord is the maker of them all.”) I suspect that some people believe the Cathedral Parish consists of only rich folks. After all, this church sits on a hill right in the middle of Buckhead, maybe one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the Southeast. And, yes, there are rich folks here. But we are all sorts of other folks, too. And we are also poor folks. In fact, some sceptics claim that, actually, only the poor and downtrodden meet here; because all of us are people who cannot make it in one endeavor or another, we are the unsuccessful and the hypocritical. Well, time has taught me that the people who meet here at the Cathedral of St. Philip are both the successful and the unsuccessful; and sometimes you might have a hard time distinguishing which is which. The rich and the poor meet together here, just as they did a hundred and fifty years ago, when the Cathedral church was downtown. Those categories – the “rich” and the “poor” – have segregated humanity for thousands of years. Here we have the Book of Proverbs, written twenty-five hundred years ago, mentioning the division. But Proverbs, of course, says something else. The rich and the poor meet together, because it is the Lord who is the maker of them all. The God of Abraham was a God who brought together people of difference. ... Read the full sermon at cathedralATL.org/sermons.

This fall, we are taking a new look at an old book, the Bible, as we explore how we read it as Episcopalians and how we make sense of it today and, hopefully, fall in love with it all over again! We will be using Rachel Held Evans’ book, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again, as a starting point for our conversation.

2018 JANE BAIRD LECTURE

Living with the Living Dead: What Zombies Can Teach Us about Life, Community, and Hope

FEATURING AUTHOR GREG GARRETT October 18, 2018 at 7 p.m. — FREE and open to the public When faced with the unthinkable, the terrifying, and the inexplicable, how do people navigate a sense of themselves? How do they form community when all about them is the possibility of annihilation? Under such circumstances, do “the rules of life” as we understand them from the past still apply, or have the ways in which ethical decisions are made been irrevocably changed? Using the popular narratives of the zombie apocalypse, Garrett explores these types of questions by asking his readers to deeply consider the ways in which their faith and faith traditions encourage a simultaneously fearless and humble response. Reserve your seat at the discussion at https://2018_janebairdlecture.eventbrite. com. Please contact Kerith Lee, cbs3@mindspring.com, with any questions you may have.

This year’s course was directed by Martin Baker, master of music at Westminster Cathedral, London. Congratulations to Kensington Eden, Eva Russell, Katherine Yeoman, and Julia Russell for their participation.
