THE GIFT OF JOY AND WONDER! By the Very Rev. Sam Candler, Dean of the Cathedral Have you every prayed for someone to receive the gift of joy and wonder! Yes! You probably have, if you have said “Amen” after the priest has delivered one of the strongest prayers from our 1979 Book of Common Prayer. It’s easily one of my favorite phrases there, appearing in our service of Holy Baptism (page 308). Just after the new saint has been baptized, the celebrant thanks God for the new life of grace, and then prays: Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works. I love praying for joy and wonder! Surely, joy and wonder are the marks of a Christian living fully in the Spirit! And, surely, holy baptism is full initiation into that joy and wonder. Did you know, however, that that set of words has roots in the Book of Isaiah? Here is how the development occurs. Isaiah 11:1-3 goes something like this: A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. The spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. (Isaiah 11:1–3) Over time, those words, “wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, (piety), and holy fear” came to be considered as the sevenfold gifts of the Spirit. (As you can see, “fear of the Lord,” mentioned twice, came to be translated in two different ways in the tradition, once as “piety,” and once as “holy fear.”) The Early Church Fathers enumerated them that way, too. In Latin, the seven gifts of the Spirit came to be: sapientia, intellectus, consilium, fortitude, cognito, pietas, and timor Domini. Given at baptism, they were encouraged to be developed throughout the Christian life. However, when the liturgy of confirmation gradually, and regrettably, became separated from the liturgy of baptism, those sevenfold gifts of the Spirit came to be understood as being delivered, not at baptism, but later at confirmation. It was only the bishop who said those words, and confirmation came to be understood as some sort of completion of baptism. This division existed through the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. For instance, here is the bishop’s prayer, in the confirmation service of the 1928 BCP: ALMIGHTY and everliving God, who hast vouchsafed to regenerate these thy servants by Water and the Holy Ghost, and hast given unto them forgiveness of all their sins; Strengthen them, we beseech thee, O Lord, with the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, and daily increase in them thy manifold gifts of grace: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and ghostly strength, the spirit of knowledge and true godliness; and fill them, O Lord, with the spirit of thy holy fear, now and for ever. Amen (1928 Book of Common Prayer, pager 297). Ah, but something glorious occurs in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, in one of its major principles. Holy Baptism is restored as “full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body the Church.” The principle is that we lack nothing in Christ, once we are baptized. We are complete. At baptism, we are given all the gifts of the Spirit that we need. That is why baptized infants and children have every right to receive communion, once they are baptized. They do not need to wait until confirmation, as if their baptism is continued on back page...

OLD FASHIONED SUNDAY SCHOOL The Rev. Canon George Maxwell is taking a new look at what Jesus was doing on Maundy Thursday when he washed his disciples’ feet and shared supper with them. In her book, The Holy Thursday Revolution, the philosopher Beatrice Bruteau argues that Jesus was showing us a new way to think about ourselves and organize our society. We’re talking about how this evolution of thought offers us hope in the midst of increasing anxiety caused by the pandemic, social unrest, and election season.

HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO GOD’S PEOPLE: Exploring Contemplative Practices and Meditation Together
This group provides a space for people to engage in different spiritual practices. Each meeting, we will learn about a new practice together, engage in this practice, and then split into small groups to talk about our experiences. Practice-based interaction with God is a defining characteristic of Anglicanism. In this group, we hope to quiet the mind and invite the Holy Spirit into our presence. All are welcome and no experience is required! Cathedral Seminarian Will Drosos will be leading this class, along with Canon Cathy Zappa.

ANTIQUES Show SAM AND BOOG CANDLER ARE THIS YEAR'S ANTIQUES SHOW HONORARY CHAIRS The Cathedral Antiques Show is very pleased and honored to announce the Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler and his wife Barbara M. Candler, more affectionately known as “Sam and Boog” as the 2021 Honorary Chairs. The Cathedral of St Philip has been honored by Sam’s service as the Dean for the past twenty-two years. The hospitality and excellence that Sam and Boog have brought to the Cathedral can be felt inside and outside of our walls. Love, grace, excellence and hospitality are words that they live by, and the faithful staff and parishioners of the Cathedral have been richly blessed. Sam loves the lively community and diversity of parish life. An amateur and very talented pianist, he intended to become a jazz musician before he was called into the priesthood. Boog is musically talented as well, playing the dulcimer and flute with musical groups around the Southeast, and lending her talent to the Cathedral community. Boog has served on the board of the Cathedral Book Store, taught at the Cathedral Preschool and cochaired the 2012 Cathedral Antiques Show. Throughout the years you could find Sam and Boog dedicating their time, talent, and treasure all around the Cathedral. Whether it’s Sam playing piano at our Homeless Requiem or the Cathedral Thrift House Follies, Boog’s teaching our youth or Holy Eucharist Instruction, participating with the blessing of the runners July 4th at the Peachtree Road Race, or a myriad of other events, Sam and Boog’s dedication and hard work is immeasurable. Before coming to the Cathedral in 1998, Sam served five other Episcopal parishes. He also teaches Anglican theology at Emory
University, and has served as trustee for several different schools, including the Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. He has lectured
and preached in England, Costa Rica, Canada, and throughout the United States. Sam is active in Atlanta’s interfaith community and helped develop the Faith Alliance of Metro Atlanta. Dean Candler has been a deputy to the General Convention of the Episcopal Church for nine terms, serving especially on the Liturgy and Music Committees. He and Boog are involved in many organizations outside of the Cathedral, combining their love of nature, with Sam serving on the board of the Cumberland Island Preservation Society, and Boog on the Jekyll Island Foundation. Sam and Boog have also been blessed with other great joys in their lives: their three adult children, their spouses, and six wonderful grandchildren. We are humbled and honored to recognize Sam and Boog’s dedication and service to the Cathedral in naming them as our Honorary Chairs for our milestone 50th Anniversary.

Moreover, in the 1979 BCP, that prayer which was once reserved for bishops at confirmation, is to be said by any priest, at baptism. Thus, it is baptism that delivers the sevenfold gifts of the Spirit; they are not reserved until confirmation.

As you can see, the 1979 BCP delightfully translates these seven gifts of the Spirit into phrases that we might better understand better, too. “Wisdom and understanding” become “an inquiring and discerning heart.” “Counsel and strength” become “the courage to will and to persevere.” “Knowledge and piety” become “a spirit to know and to love you.” And, finally, “holy fear” becomes “the gift of joy and wonder in all your works.” You know, it doesn’t have to be just bishops and priests and deacons who say those words. Try saying the prayer yourself for someone you love, maybe for your child! It does not have to be in the context of a formal church service at all. Pray for the gifts of the Spirit for someone you love. It’s great fun. Indeed, it is a joy and a wonder! Heavenly Father, we thank you that by water and the Holy Spirit you have bestowed upon [this your servant] the forgiveness of sin, and have raised them to the new life of grace. Sustain them, O Lord, in your Holy Spirit. Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works. Amen.
