ALL SAINTS WEEK AND REAL TIME

By the Very Rev. Sam Candler, Dean of the Cathedral

When most of our country sets our clocks back one hour in November (“fall back”), I am one of those who merrily chortles, “Yay, we are back in real time now!” I am not a curmudgeon about it, and I don’t complain. I like to think that I can make time work for me, no matter what time it is. I just enjoy the lengthening and shortening of days and nights as they occur naturally, without having to interrupt that rhythm twice a year.

This year, we set our clocks back on the morning of All Saints Sunday, but we were returning to a kind of real time throughout the week of All Saints Day. We were returning to real time. It was really time to celebrate All Saints Day in person with our guests at the Homeless Requiem, the dinner and Eucharist in which we remember by name those who have died in the past year without homes.

There was something steadying and reassuring at our Homeless Requiem evening this year. The careful preparation and work resulted in a graceful and non-anxious celebration. Thank you! Thank you to all who showed up in person! We missed the singing of the Voices of Hope Choir this year, a choir that is made up of inmates of the Arrendale State Prison, since the logistics and short staff there prohibited a visit. But, lo and behold, Cathy Zappa was thrilled to discover, at the end of the service, two former members of the Voices of Hope Choir. They were out of prison now, one living in Gainesville, but they had taken the time to be at the Cathedral of St. Philip on November 1. They remembered the day. None of us knew they were coming. That conversation with them might have been my happiest moment of the night.

Real time around All Saints Week at the Cathedral returned to its usual format this year, rather a three-part celebration. The first part is the Requiem Eucharist for the Homeless. The second part is the morning of All Saints Sunday, when we baptize new Christians into the Church. For some reason, we always have a lot of baptisms that day! At the 8:45 service especially, there seemed to be children everywhere, even after a couple of families had to withdraw at the last minute. The halls and the aisles and the pews of the Cathedral were lively (but also amazingly quiet for the baptisms themselves –unusual!). After the baptism service, a couple whose children are now grown and out of the house walked up to me. “You know,” they said, “we don’t mind all the energy of the children during the service. It’s wonderful to have them here.” They were so right. We are back in real time.

Then, at 4:00 pm on All Saints Sunday, we celebrate a Choral Eucharist, remembering by name all those members, friends, and family of the Cathedral who have died in the past year – the third part of our All Saints ministry. This year, we spoke over 160 names. That number seems accurate. At the Cathedral, we are remembering someone who has died, on average, about once every two days or so. At the Cathedral, we honor and we bless those who have died; and we try to provide that touch of grace to those who are grieving or in pain. It is a holy ministry. The Cathedral Choir helped lead our worship this year with the extraordinary music of Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem. Incredibly beautiful. Oh! I didn’t mention a new feature of our All Saints week! At the 12:15 daily Eucharist on Tuesday (the actual All Saints Day), we processed outside St. Mary’s Chapel, and around the upper level of the Atrium, and around the downstairs of the Atrium, while chanting a Litany of the Saints and singing “For All The Saints.” We were truly in person! It was like we were processing around a European village; we were processing around the village of the Cathedral of St. Philip! This year, I was reminded again of how valuable All Saints Day is for the Church, and for the world. It is just as much a principal feast of the Church as is Christmas and Easter; and it sure felt that way for me this year. There are lots of things that other organizations do which the Church also does: provide hospitality, serve meals, provide daycare and education, sing music, do justice, organize study groups and classes. We do all those things well, too. But no organization can match the way that the Church provides blessing at the time of death. At the heart of our life, that is what we do every time we gather: we celebrate death and new life. That rhythm is the heart of every service of the Holy Eucharist, too. Ordinary time stops during those services; we are in real time.

Advent Quiet Day on Saturday, December 10

Join us for a day of quiet and contemplation, as we explore the wildernesses in our lives and in our world. During this quiet time we will see streams of hope emerge. We’ll use the Welcoming Prayer, scripture, visual expression, silence, and sharing throughout the day.

The Quiet Day will be led by the Reverend Lynnsay A. Buehler, an Episcopal priest, spiritual director, and the director of The Julian of Norwich Center of St. Bede's Episcopal Church. Lynnsay is excited to be back at the Cathedral, where she was on staff in the Pastoral Care Department from 1985-1989. The Cathedral also sponsored her throughout her ordination process. Lynnsay is an Associate of Green Bough House of Prayer, a member of Spiritual Directors International, an EfM mentor, and has trained in pastoral counseling, as well as marriage and family therapy.

The Quiet Day will take place in the Lanier House on the Cathedral Campus, 9:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 10. The cost is $20 and lunch is included. Contact Jeannie Mahood with questions, jmahood@cathedralATL.org, or 404-365-1031.

Adult EDUCATION

THIS SUNDAY

Old Fashioned Sunday School

Child Hall , 10:10 a.m.

This year the class is focusing on the purpose of church or, if you will, why we do what we do when we come to church. The title of the first series is “The Purpose of the Liturgy (or Why You Don’t Need to Check Your Mind at the Door When You Come to Church).” This series talks about the powerful role that cultural liturgies, both sacred and secular, play in shaping how we see the world and live our lives.

Living Faith —“Why Church” series “Why Care?" Room 319, 10:10 a.m. In our back-to-the-basics series this fall, we are considering the question Why Church? through various lenses.

This Sunday, we’ll discuss “Why care?” In a world in which so many problems seem insurmountable, how can Christians hope to make any kind of difference? What might neighbor love look like in these complicated and conflicted times?
