The CATHEDRAL TIM TIMES ES The weekly newsletter of the Cathedral of St. Philip · Serving Atlanta and the World · April 25, 2021
THANK YOU BILL HARKINS! By the Very Rev. Sam Candler, Dean of the Cathedral Months ago, the Reverend Doctor Bill Harkins wrote me a beautiful and eloquent letter, with the news that he was planning to resign his role as Priest Associate here at the Cathedral of St. Philip. The news was sad, but understandable. With family outside of Atlanta, and with other fine commitments, Bill wrote that he wanted to have more time to see that family, and to focus on counseling and teaching. Indeed, while resigning from his role as Priest Associate at the Cathedral, Bill plans to continue both a teaching ministry, and a strong counseling ministry with the Cathedral Counseling Center and in his own practice. Many of you know already that Bill’s last official Sunday with us is this Sunday, April 25, 2021; and he will preach in our online and in-person services. I write, then, to thank Bill Harkins for his fine and devoted service as Priest Associate here. Bill, we will miss you! We will miss your sensitive demeanor, and your firm grasp of counseling principles and theological truths. And, after 18 solid years here, we will remember well your excellent teaching and preaching! From various Cathedral Book Store events, to carefully crafted sermons featuring Wendell Berry and kayak trips down beautiful rivers! In all these presentations, you have given us deeper sense of God’s truth and beauty. Bill Harkins has done faithful, steady, and thoughtful work here at the Cathedral of St. Philip. When he was ordained here, years ago, he courageously agreed to be Priest Associate here while also continuing a teaching ministry at Columbia Seminary and continuing a counseling practice. In fact, he has done all three of those things, exceedingly well. In fact, he has taken on more ministry, becoming part of the Psychological Health faculty at CREDO (an Episcopal Church wellness program that takes Bill all over the country). Thank you, Bill, for serving the Cathedral of St. Philip so faithfully all these years. We will miss your official role here, but we look forward to still seeing you around! Maybe in counseling situations, maybe in teaching situations, and maybe even out for a run or a paddle in the midst of God’s beautiful creation. Thank you for being part of God’s beautiful creation with us. Love to you, from a thankful Cathedral community,
The Very Rev. Sam Candler Dean of the Cathedral

United Thank OFFERING REFLECTING WITH GRATITUDE UTO Ingathering Day is Sunday, May 9. As we prepare for the May 9 United Thank Offering (UTO), we invite you to participate in a month of gratitude, pausing each week to see God’s blessing in different parts of our lives. This week, we encourage you to give thanks for God’s creation and the world around us. This Week’s Gratitude Prayer: God, thank you for the many things that bring us joy, whether small or significant. For quick smiles, big hugs, sun-filled days, long nights of sleep, health and vaccines, in-person church services, and so much more. Let these joys keep us strong when challenges come our way. (Isaiah 55:12) An Episcopal tradition since 1889, UTO supports the ministry of the whole church, with 100% of this spring’s proceeds supporting grants for COVID-19 healing and recovery. On UTO Ingathering day (May 9), we hope you’ll remember these blessings and give a thank offering. To donate online, go to www.cathedralATL.org/contribute.

SPIRITUALITY SPRING LABYRINTH WALK The Cathedral outdoor Labyrinth will be open for a facilitated walk to celebrate the hope of this Easter season in the midst of Covid-19 on Tuesday, May 18, from 7–8 p.m. Our labyrinth is modeled after the famous labyrinth constructed in the floor of Chartres Cathedral, France around 1200. The meditative walk to the center allows our minds to empty and help us experience silence, joy, and celebration; or grieving the loss of a loved one or those affected by Covid-19. Two trained facilitators will be on hand to assist you. All walkers must follow Covid-19 guidelines, wear a mask, and register online in advance. Instructions for passing others on the labyrinth will be provided that night. Space is limited so sign up soon! Register at cathedralATL.org/spirituality.
