CHOOSE FROM ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS:

Book Study with Canon Julia Mitchener, Cathedral Book Store

Join us for a five-week study of Stephanie Land’s acclaimed book Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive. Ms. Land’s story is compelling and highly narrative, chronicling her struggle to provide a stable life for herself and her young daughter after fleeing domestic abuse.

While we will discuss ways in which we might better help people who are unhoused in our own community, the main focus of the class will be to gain better understanding of the housing crisis and the societal dynamics that contribute to it. Please contact Canon Julia Mitchener, julia.mitchener@cathedralATL.org, for more information.

“The Chosen” with the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith, Walthour Library (315) *Please note this class begins at 5 p.m. with a 6 p.m. option to arrive and join the discussion followed by video clip highlights.

“The Chosen!” It’s arguably the greatest breakthrough in Christian film media so far this century. Join a core group of Cathedral-goers as we gather together on Wednesday evenings in Lent for a free film screening and follow-up discussion comoderated by the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith.

Alleluia!, A Resource for Praying Farewell. Barbara is a class member and Associate Professor Emerita in the Practice of Liturgy and Music at Candler School of Theology at Emory University.

Book Study with Canon Lauren Holder, Conference Room 239

Parishioner Sara Blackwood and Canon Lauren Holder are facilitating a weekly conversation using the book Good Inside: A Guide To Becoming the Parent You Want To Be by Dr. Becky Kennedy. While the book is geared towards parenting, it is truly a book about relationships, and this conversation is open to all. Alongside the book, we will explore the baptismal covenant, what it means to be created in the image of God, the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, and how we can support one another in our walk with Christ. Your presence will bless our conversation—no reading necessary!

Book Study with Adam Mathes, Chapter Room (319) Regarded by some as the second most influential book in the western world (behind only the Bible), St. Augustine’s Confessions profoundly shaped the Christian faith and the ways in which Western minds regard themselves, their primary relationships, and their pursuit of the good.

This reading group will move quickly through Confessions and gather to discuss key elements to aid in understanding and to enrich the faith of participants.

Young Professionals “Coffee & Conversation Cards” Walthour Library, 10:10 a.m.

On Sunday mornings during the formation hour, the Young Professionals’ Group will gather in Walthour Library using conversation cards to inspire Christian discussions on scripture, faith and life.

Enjoy Biblical Greek Room 239 and on Zoom, 1:15 p.m.

This newcomer-friendly class is open to beginners, while including long-term members who enjoy exchanging tips, best learning practices, and coaching points on how to translate the Greek New Testament. Please contact the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith, tsmith@cathedralATL.org, for more information.
