What a gift! In this Easter season, I give thanks for all the faithful volunteers who have shared their gifts to facilitate our prayer during Holy Week and Easter, and throughout the year. Here is an excellent reflection from one of those faithful volunteers, Mary Caroline Cravens. —The Rev. Cathy Zappa, Canon for Liturgy and Pastoral Care
WAITING FOR HOLY WEEK, FINALLY A SILENCE By Mary Caroline Cravens It’s been a noisy Lent for me this year. Easter feels late. The weather is variable, promising summer but with each cold snap driving pent-up energy higher. Friends are reconnecting. School is opening back up to parent participation. The calendar is so full of meetings and social engagements! At home, two young boys fill the house with laughter and arguing, crashing and running, and practicing two musical instruments each. A husband works half the time from home, filling the house – thanks to technology – with the voices of many colleagues and clients, also working remotely. I slip out the front door to sit on the steps and escape the chaos for a moment, only to find in my yard, a cacophony of lovely birdsong (because I have taken to feeding them in the last two years), and on our street there is near-constant leaf blowing. Some of this (like the leafblowers) is aggravating, but most of it is productive and joyful. All of it is noise! Silence is hard to come by these days. Probably I am not the only one to notice. I have been longing for silence in Lent. Finally, on Palm Sunday, I found my Lenten silence – just as I had given up on it and was instead waiting for Holy Week to begin. Serving on Altar Guild for the 8:45 service, I found myself staying behind from our wonderful county-parade palm procession around the outside of the church to be available for any last-minute questions or needs in the few minutes before the service. As I stood in the sacristy doorway, the only other person in my line of sight was our excellent organist, Jack Mitchener, quietly waiting and preparing for his cue to begin playing “All Glory Laud and Honor.” The ushers, the choir (including my two boys), the clergy, the youth who would read the Passion, the acolytes, the chalice bearers, and the vergers were all out with the parade. Inside the Cathedral, something seemed strange, and then I realized what it was: unlike on a usual Sunday when there is chatter from the narthex and even some light chatter in the pews before the welcome and procession begin, the cavernous Nave was completely quiet. Pin-drop quiet. I peeked out from the quire to look into the empty Nave and was surprised to see about 100 people quietly waiting, along with me and the organist, for the procession to arrive. I sat down on the pew in the ambulatory and closed my eyes. We sat for 10 or 15 minutes maybe, with the smell of beeswax, the occasional creak of wood from a pew, and a stunningly beautiful corporate silence that had filled the room. It was perfect. Then began the gentle rustle of processors entering and finding seats, once or twice a last call and response “Blessed is the One Who Comes in the Name of the Lord!”...“Hosanna in the Highest!” drifted in through the back doors. I sang along with the response that second time, but only in my head. I was not quite ready to break my own silence. Then Jack got his cue and played a triumphal introduction, preparing us all to sing the opening hymn in full voice! At the last hour, my Lent had become complete in that brief but blessedly sufficient silence, and now Holy Week had begun. What a gift!

Cathedral STAFF JULIA MITCHENER … MORE GOOD NEWS! That would be Canon Julia Mitchener! We have been blessed by Julia and her ministry among us for just over two and a half years now. I am overjoyed to announce that she has accepted our offer to move to a full-time Canon-level position as of May 1, 2022. She will continue to do much of what she has been doing, but she will expand her ministry to focus on our engagement with the community “off the Hill.” That is, Julia will take responsibility for leading the strategic visioning of our outreach ministries and coordinating our efforts to support our outreach partners and volunteers. Canon Lauren Holder will focus her efforts on leading and supporting our parish life and education ministries, as we continue to expand in these areas. Thank you Lauren for you excellent work with our outreach efforts. Please join me in welcoming Julia … again! The Rev. George M. Maxwell, Jr., Vicar
Adult EDUCATION
SECULOSITY REPRISE MAY 1, 8, 15, 22, CHILD HALL 10:10 A.M. Join Canons Zappa and Holder for a conversation about all the things that distract us from our faith—including church! We will revisit the David Zahl’s book Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What to Do about It. David is the guest speaker for our Parish Retreat at Kanuga! He’ll be breaking bread with us all weekend. So come join the conversation and explore with us the importance and (sometimes) difficulty of maintaining a meaningful faith life at every age and stage. And remember to register for Kanuga by May 5!
Our neighbors at Ahavath Achim Synagogue have secured a traveling exhibit from the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, an organization that supports and honors non-Jews who rescued Jews during the holocaust. The foundation is using this exhibit to continue their brave legacy and encourage a new generation to not be bystanders but be upstanders. At the end of April, the Jewish community will be commemorating Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Memorial Day). Ahavath Achim hopes to raise awareness and educate our community about the Holocaust and inspire participation in the various community commemorations. They have invited us to tour the exhibit and hear from the family of a holocaust survivor on Wednesday, May 4, at 11 a.m. Please contact Canon Lauren Holder, lholder@cathedralATL.org, if you would like to attend.
