Dr. Radtke will preach at the 7:45 a.m., 8:45 a.m., and 11:15 a.m. services, and speak in Child Hall at 10:10 a.m. Prior to his work at Episcopal Relief & Development, Dr. Radtke served in various senior-level posts at the Asia Society. He provides strategic leadership to the agency’s programs in nearly 40 countries across Africa, Latin America and Asia, as well as the United States. Episcopal Relief & Development facilitates healthier, more fulfilling lives in communities struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster and disease – and the organization is committed to demonstrating a measurable impact in three transformative program priorities: women, children, and climate. In his role as president and CEO, Rob has overseen a number of major initiatives, including NetsforLife, the agency’s award-winning, flagship malaria prevention program, which to date has reached 47 million people in 17 African countries; and the US Disaster Preparedness and Response Program, which helps Episcopal dioceses, congregations, and other church institutions to both prepare for and respond to disasters in their local communities. Episcopal Relief & Development is a pioneer in the area of Asset-Based Community Development in a faith-based context, with programs that mobilize local resources in an integrated approach to achieve measurable and sustainable change for the most vulnerable. The organization has been recognized with major awards and grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Dr. Radtke was a founding trustee of the Anglican Alliance for Development, Relief & Advocacy. He also serves on the board of the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith & Local Communities and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He has a Bachelor’s Degree from Columbia College of Columbia University and a doctorate from New College of the University of Oxford, which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar. In 2012, Episcopal Divinity School awarded him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree. For over 75 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has been working together with supporters and partners for lasting change around the world. Each year the organization facilitates healthier, more fulfilling lives for more than three million people struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster, and disease.

SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY
LIVING FAITH
Room 122 Jim Bingham and Gordon Mathis lead an ongoing small group Bible Study focusing on the Gospel of Matthew.
Room 120 Though we Christians claim to worship the one true God, revealed in Jesus Christ, many of us feel beholden to other powerful forces in our lives, and may even treat them as a religion or source of self-justification. Join Canons Cathy Zappa and Lauren Holder as we explore the many forms that religiosity takes today—or the many things that we tend to approach as religion. We will be using as our conversation partner David Zahl’s book, Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion And What To Do About It. David will be our guest speaker at Kanuga Parish Weekend in May! So join this five-week conversation now!
OUR TRUE SELVES Room 240 The Rev. Dr. Thee Smith leads this series of co-listening classes that aim to enhance our ability to be fully ourselves—our true, worthy, and estimable selves. Topics can include everyday experiences and range through tough political issues as well as lifestyle choices and faith matters.
BIBLICAL GREEK Room 356 (1:15 p.m.) Continuing Biblical Greek classes are offered by the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith for anyone who wants to learn the basics of translation using grammar aids, lexicons, and commentaries. This semester, we are focusing on the Book of Revelation.
OLD FASHIONED SUNDAY SCHOOL Child Hall (Resumes Next Week) Experiencing the Presence of God This term, we will continue our study of the Bible and Christian contemplative spirituality. The course is built on the foundation laid by the Rev. Vincent Pizzuto, Episcopal priest and college professor, in his book titled Contemplating Christ: The Gospels and the Interior Life (Liturgical Press, 2018), which is, of course, available in the Cathedral Book Store. We will also explore a number of related themes that emerge from what is sometimes called the wisdom tradition. Canon George Maxwell leads this class. As always, you will find those things that we think matter most: a light heart, a broad welcome, and good coffee.

The Cathedral Antiques Show has raised more than $5 million for Atlanta-area nonprofits since its
THE TOUR OF HOMES
inception in 1969. An annual community outreach
project sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of the Cathedral of St. Philip, 100% of the net proceeds
go to a different human services-based beneficiary each year. This year's beneficiary is Moving in the Spirit, an award-winning creative youth development program that uses dance to teach young people the social,
emotional, and cognitive skills they need to thrive. HOME #1
YOUNG COLLECTORS HOME TOUR Saturday, January 25 3-5 p.m. The Young Collectors Home Tour showcases bold design in intimate spaces featuring three homes in the Haynes Manor neighborhood of Buckhead, decorated by some of Atlanta's best and brightest young interior designers and architects.
Built in 1911 for Lucy and Mary Nagle, this beautiful Neel Reid home sits majestically on one of Atlanta’s most prestigious streets. Owned and interior designed by Don Easterling, with assistance from Nina Nash, the home is filled with the charm and beauty that Atlantans have come to expect from the master architect. It is the showcase for the current homeowner’s extensive collection of antiques but also exudes twenty-first century ease and comfort. Through years of careful curation as well as renovation by the homeowner, the residence still typifies a classic Reid portfolio home. The original windows and hardware have been repurposed. Modern updates have been incorporated to appear original. A back porch, pool, and pavilion designed by C. Brandon Ingram complete the classic feel. All in all, Neel Reid and the Troutmans would be very proud of this current homeowner’s masterful renovation.
HOME #2
HOME #4
This lovely 1920’s Craftsman bungalow was just what the homeowners were looking for: great bones with wonderful grounds with which to garden. Frederick Spitzmiller and Robert Norris were engaged to add to the home, with period sensitivity, and give the couple better flow and views of the property that had been lacking. Interior designer, Teri Duffy, joined the team to help bring the homeowners vision to life. This residence features a notable collection of antiques and artwork. The den contains an antique French Louis XIII cherry and walnut desk, while the living room features an antique English lacquered cocktail table. An Italian Baroque carved walnut credenza from 1900 finishes the beautiful dining room. Tew Galleries have aided the homeowners in selecting the impressive collection of artwork displayed throughout the home.
The owners of this home are preservationists at heart. Over the years they have had the privilege to own homes designed by noted Georgia architects including James Means, Frank McCall, and Norman Davenport Askins, who designed this residence. When the couple decided to downsize and spend more time at their desert Southwest home, they were delighted to find this dwelling. This unique space represents the perfect combination of enduring classical design on an intimate scale. It is a true “jewel box” showcasing imported French antique marble mantels and terracotta tiles in the kitchen, as well as 14-foot-high ceilings. This makes the perfect setting for a busy couple that likes to entertain, but also enjoy cooking and gardening whenever they are at home in the city.
HOME #3 Designed for a busy young family of five, this 7 bedroom, 7 bathroom house was designed to impart a modern feel while remaining rooted in European traditional
aesthetics. Furnished with French and Scandinavian antiques, the home features hardware, stone, plaster, and iron work by European craftsmen. The wrought iron balustrade of the main staircase is inspired by the balustrade at Hermès in Paris, while the 12-foot- ceiling high with 10-foot-high steel doors on the first floor were inspired by the work of Axel Varvoodth, a Belgian architect and tastemaker with a keen sense of beauty and harmonious style. The home was designed by Eduardo Contreras Residential Design, with landscape design by Land Plus. Adams Residential served as the general contractor. All of the home's French Stone floors, wide wood plank floors, and wood beams were produced by Vintage Elements.
HOME #5 This stunning home was originally designed by Norman Askins and has been beautifully enhanced by Spitzmiller & Norris. Guests are welcomed by hand-painted murals in the style of Menaboni in a chinoiserie aesthetic. The house opens up into grand entertaining rooms with beautiful views of the extensive grounds that were designed by Graham Pittman and reflect the quiet solitude of this private location. The homeowners have a special affection for French antiques. These were collected through the owner’s travels, over a period of years, in the French Provincial style. Inherited pieces abound as is the case of the buffet in the dining room that is identical to a buffet at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library.

Race and HEALING MYTHS AMERICA LIVES BY: A DIALOGUE ON WHITE SUPREMACY with Dr. Richard T. Hughes and the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith White supremacy has been defined as the belief, theory, or doctrine that white people are inherently superior to people from all other racial and ethnic groups, especially black people, and are therefore rightfully the dominant group in any society. As people of faith, we challenge this belief because it runs counter to Jesus' life and message. However, we may not be fully aware of the influence of this belief in our churches, country, and history. Please come on Saturday, February 1 for what promises to be a scintillating and thought-provoking dialogue followed by group conversation, taking place from 10 a.m. – noon in Child Hall. The point of departure will be Myths America Lives By: White Supremacy and the Stories that Give Us Meaning, the path-breaking work by Richard T. Hughes PhD, scholar-in-residence in the College of Bible and Ministry at Lipscomb University. Dr. Hughes will be joined by the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith. The two will be discussing this well-researched and documented examination of white supremacy, the synergistic relationships of white supremacy with five myths that have been central to the evolution of the American psyche, and the implications for our culture and lives today. Please RSVP to Jeannie Mahood, 404-365-1031 or jmahood@cathedralATL.org.
