From the Dean

Our Atlanta HistoryBefore we were designated the cathedral parish of Atlanta, St. Philip’s Episcopal Church was established in 1846 with five communicants. Our first building was across from the new State Capitol on what is now the corner of Washington Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. By 1875 we were the largest Episcopal parish in Georgia, and in 1904, we became the Cathedral of the Diocese of Georgia. (All of the state was one diocese at that time.) We were in our third building.

By the 1930s the streets of Atlanta had been built up higher than the entrance to St. Philip’s, and much of the parish had moved away. In 1933, under the leadership of the courageous Dean Raimundo De Ovies, St. Philip’s Cathedral moved to its present location. The “little gray church” was built atop the hill at Andrews Drive and Peachtree,

with its doors opening to the city.The present Mikell Chapel was finished

in 1947. De Ovies Memorial Hall, planned to house offices for both the Cathedral and the Diocese, was completed in 1951. The parish hall was completed in 1955. The grand Cathedral proper (replacing the little gray church) was dedicated and first used in 1962, and it was consecrated in 1980 when debt was retired.

Now more than 165 years old, the Cathedral of St. Philip seeks to continue its history of service to the city and Diocese of Atlanta. We hope that our beacon on the hill can deliver the light of Jesus Christ to the world.

We seek to be a Christian community of faith, willing and able to let the light of Jesus shine not just in ourselves but in the world around us!

Vision and Mission Every year God gives us a new way to present the vision and mission of the Cathedral of St. Philip. We have described our mission as: “to know Christ and to make Christ known.” We have used the mission statement in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer: “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ” (page 855).

In recent years we have used the phrase “to serve.” We serve one another with love and honor. We serve the city, the diocese, and the world. What do we serve? We serve, that is, we offer the grace, hospitality, and love of Jesus Christ our Lord.

We have understood our mission as “a light on the hill.” We are a beacon set on the hill at Peachtree and Andrews, shining the light of Jesus Christ.

How do we now describe our mission? It has to be a continuation

of God’s light. We believe that God is still saying to the community of the Cathedral of St. Philip, “Let Your Light Shine!” We have only just begun.

“Let Your Light Shine” also refers to God’s light in our hearts. God has given every Cathedral believer a measure of light and grace. It is our mission to “let that light shine.” Shine some grace on your friend or neighbor! Jesus said not only that “I am the light of the world” ( John 8:12), but he also said, “You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).

Worship

SUNDAY WORSHIPUnless otherwise noted, each Sunday service of worship at the Cathedral includes the Holy Eucharist, also called Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper, the principal act of worship on the Lord’s Day. The structure of Word and Sacrament features a sermon and an opportunity for the faithful to receive Christ.

7:45 a.m. Holy EucharistA consistent community meets in Mikell Chapel, the oldest structure in the Cathedral, at 7:45 a.m. for a traditional liturgy without music. The service is quiet and meditative. We use the Rite I liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer.

8:45 a.m. Holy EucharistThe attendance at the 8:45 a.m. service is the largest and most diverse of the parish. We rejoice and laugh with the children who are a large presence here: the sermons, prayers, and hymns are

intentionally developed to have a wide and educational appeal. This service maintains the grandeur and grace of the Anglican tradition, while offering community and fellowship for young families. Should one be coming to the Episcopal Church from another tradition, this is our most accessible service.

9 a.m. Holy EucharistThe 9 a.m. service celebrates our most traditional (Rite I) Eucharist with organ music and hymns in the beautiful intimacy of Mikell Chapel. The small community offers the feel of being in a typical Episcopal parish.

11:15 a.m. Holy EucharistThe 11:15 a.m. Eucharist presents the splendor of the Christian faith in its most glorious Anglican fashion. Our music, prayers, and sermons draw upon the finest sources of our tradition.

1:30 p.m. La Santa EucaristíaThe 1:30 p.m. service is in Spanish to welcome the Hispanic community to the Cathedral parish. The service gathers in Mikell Chapel and is led by various clergy on staff.

4 p.m. Evensong (Sept-May)Choral Evensong, sung Evening Prayer, is one of the jewels of the Anglican tradition. Most of the service is sung by the choir. During the coming season, we will be observing Feast Days and the clergy will offer a meditation to fit the occasion. At the conclusion of Evensong, a traditional “liturgy of the table” is offered for those in our Cathedral community who desire Holy Communion. Occasionally, a Choral Eucharist, a Diocesan Confirmation, or a special sung service of prayer takes the place of 4 p.m. Evensong.

Music

Approximately 75 volunteer singers, twelve staff singers, and three volunteer organists, along with our Assistant Organist-Choirmaster, Associate Organist-Choirmaster and the Canon for Music, provide music for more than 225 Cathedral services and 75 weddings and funerals each year. A listing of the choral programs and other opportunities of the Music Department follows: Cathedral ChoirThe Cathedral Choir is an auditioned group of volunteers and professional singers. This choir sings for the 11:15 a.m. service each Sunday, for the 8:45 a.m. service once a month, and for special liturgies during Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and on some of the major feasts of the Church year. Once a year the Cathedral Choir typically presents major sacred choral works in concert

with orchestra. The Cathedral Choir sang in residence at St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, and Canterbury Cathedral, 2013, and will return to England in 2017 to serve as choir-in-residence at Salisbury and Durham cathedrals. Cathedral ScholaThe Cathedral Schola is a highly skilled chamber choir of auditioned singers from the Cathedral Choir who sing Evensong, Choral Eucharists, and services of Lessons and Carols at 4 p.m. on most Sundays September through May. Cathedral Choristers The Cathedral Chorister program is a broadly conceived educational opportunity for children that combines musical training with the nurturing of the whole person through character development and Christian formation.

The Choir is open to boys in third grade to voice change, and to girls in third grade through high school. Novices and Junior Choristers sing for the 8:45 a.m. service once or twice a month. Senior Choristers sing two Sundays a month (often with professional members of the Cathedral Choir). All of the Choristers sing for special services on Christmas Eve and Easter Day. The Choristers rehearse on Monday evenings and Wednesday evenings, September through May.

Allegro: Music for Young ChildrenThe Music Department and Children’s Ministries jointly sponsor Allegro: music for young children and the Allegro choir for kindergarten, first and second grades for our pre-chorister-age youngsters. Using play, movement, singing and musical instruments, children develop musical skills and an appreciation for music. The program is divided into groups by age, from birth through second grade.

To register your child for one of these programs and for more information about the choirs and music at the Cathedral, contact Timothy Gunter at 404-365-1050 or [email protected].

Friends of Cathedral MusicIts mission is to enrich the life of the Cathedral and the broader community by helping to facilitate the presentation of major sacred masterworks and other sacred musical encounters that exceed the normal bounds of the Cathedral’s music budget and rich liturgical life, whether performed by the Cathedral Choirs or by other nationally and internationally renowned choirs and solo artists. Friends does this by providing financial support for these programs, and by providing hospitality, thereby ensuring the availability of necessary professional and volunteer personnel. To join as a supporting member, please send a check made out to the Cathedral of St. Philip, designated for the Friends of Cathedral Music, to the attention of Timothy Gunter at the Cathedral. The organization is guided by a volunteer board of directors.

Volunteer MusiciansVolunteer organists lead the music in Mikell Chapel each Sunday at 9 a.m. Trained and experienced players of a keyboard or any other instrument are welcome to make known their interest in volunteering by contacting Timothy Gunter in the music office at 404-365-1050 or [email protected].

Another wonderful opportunity to contribute is by offering your musical talents as a musician leader for Children’s Chapel, held at 8:45 a.m. on Sunday morning. We have a service for the 3 year olds through kindergarten in the Children’s Chapel and a service for first through fifth graders in St. Mary’s during this hour. If you wish to lead singing or play an instrument for Sunday Children’s Chapel, please contact Sara Chapman, 404-966-6602 or [email protected].

Elder Ministry

St. Anthony of Padua GuildThe elder ministry honors the wisdom of parish seniors and recognizes the integrity of older adults and their contributions to church and community life. There are approximately 700 communicants of the Cathedral who are 72 years of age and older. Although the guild ministry focuses on the needs of those 700, its activities are open to all. Please contact Canon Carolynne Williams, [email protected] or 404-365-1035. St. Anthony’s Guild CouncilThe 15 member council and the Canon for Elder Ministry meet several times a year to discuss priorities for seniors of the Cathedral. Serious consideration is given to the parish-related presence of our seniors, most of whom are elders only in age.

Prime Timers and St. Anthony’s Guild have become congruent. The activities for both will be held sponsored by St. Anthony’s Guild.

GatheringsOpportunities are provided for seniors to get to know other parishioners of the same age. These gatherings are hosted by seniors, as well as other volunteers who are not elders. For general information contact Canon Carolynne Williams, [email protected] or 404-365-1035. LifespanThe Cathedral is a founding sponsor of Lifespan’s program of Lunch ’N Learn, which is based at the Cathedral for a six–week period during the summer months. It is open to all parishioners and the community and offers positive programs for older adults. Average attendance is

between 90 and 105 participants per week.

ADULT EDUCATION ON SUNDAYThe Dean’s Forum Child HallJoin Sam Candler, the Dean of the Cathedral, as he presents contemporary issues of faith and life. The Dean’s Forum often features guest speakers and presentations representing the Church, Atlanta, and the world.

Old Fashioned Sunday SchoolRoom 133Led by Canons George Maxwell and Cathy Zappa, you will find a light heart and a broad welcome in Old Fashioned Sunday School. This term, we will talk about grace. We have defined grace as the gift of otherness that allows us to receive and participate in the fuller life of God. It lifts us up and out of ourselves,

and it draws us into relationship with God. To begin our exploration of the means of grace, we will enter into a conversation with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) was a German Lutheran pastor, and is considered to be one of the foremost Protestant theologians of the twentieth century.

Adult Series OfferingsCanons Wallace Marsh, Carolynne Williams, and Mary Hunter Rouse along with clergy and lay leaders offer a variety of 4-6 week series covering topics including work, relationships, basic theology, aging, end of life decisions, parenting, and practicing faith at home. Adult confirmation classes meet at least twice per academic year. If you would like to see a particular topic included in these offerings, please contact Mary Hunter Rouse at [email protected].

Biblical Greek Room 356Beginning Biblical Greek is offered on a drop-in basis on Sunday mornings at 10:10 a.m. Continuing Biblical Greek classes are offered on Sundays from 1:15-2:45 p.m. for anyone who wants to learn the basics of translation using grammar aids, lexicons, and commentaries. For more information, contact the Rev. Thee Smith at [email protected].

Small Group Bible StudyRoom 122Jim Bingham and Gordon Mathis lead an ongoing small group Bible Study focusing on a particular book of the Bible for several months at a time. This year, we will begin with a focus on the Gospel of John. For more information, please contact Jim Bingham at 404-373-3273 or [email protected].

Children and YouthYOUTHAs Middle School students begin their journey to find their place in the world beyond their family identity, a firm grasp of their place in the narrative of our faith and touchstones of Episcopal identity become the focus of our programs. The foundation laid in Godly Play is built on through further exploration of story and continuing emphasis on Christian fellowship and service during Sunday School classes, EYC gatherings and mission work, and engagement in rhythm of parish life outside the youth program. The sacrament of confirmation, the mature affirmation of faith, is explored in the eighth grade with particular attention given to the Baptismal Covenant and the youth’s desire to take on the promises, made by parents and godparents at baptism, for themselves. In addition to the study, work, and fellowship available to the

middle school youth, high school students have the opportunity to take on leadership roles within the youth community and the parish at large, assisting with Bible studies, helping to plan youth outings, serving as acolyte team captains, and teaching Sunday School classes. The addition of two youth ministry interns to our staff this year has allowed us to expand the particular ways we work towards our youth ministry goals. Program highlights for the 2015-2016 year include the return of a weekly EYC gathering on Sunday nights, continued Bible study on Tuesday evenings, weekly breakfasts, several additional youth trips, greater participation in diocesan and church wide youth events, attention to the acolyte guild as its own important ministry, and a restructured Sunday morning experience that allows youth more input in their Sunday School classes.

We believe that children and youth growing up in the church are formed at least as much outside the classroom as within it. We aim to provide opportunities for children and youth to grow and flourish as members of our particular Christian community, offering them the language and experiences necessary to fully take part in the life of the church not just as adults, but here and now. Helping parents, children, and youth access age appropriate ways to participate in and reflect on our liturgical life, our sacred stories, our call to Christian service, our charge to share the Good News, and our shared spiritual life is essential to our ministry with children and youth.

CHILDRENThe Anglican liturgy is the cornerstone of our identity as Episcopalians and participation in the liturgy is an essential part of children’s Christian formation. Children are always welcome in church, children’s chapels follow the structure of the Liturgy of the Word before children join their parents for Eucharist, and our Sunday School classes are organized to reflect the pattern of gathering, story, response, prayer, feast, and dismissal found in our communal worship.

Godly Play is at the heart of our Sunday morning classes and the Godly Play philosophy permeates all that we do with children and families at the Cathedral. In short, that means that we take children and their relationship with God seriously and seek to provide both space to foster encounters with God and the language necessary to make meaning of those

experiences. Within the Godly Play classroom, the Biblical narrative is lovingly presented to children using beautiful materials with an invitation to step into each story with awe and wonder. Children are then allowed time to respond to and reflect on their experience of the story.

Seasonal celebrations are occasions for both Christian fellowship and service for children and their families. We take care to mark both the secular and liturgical year with events such as the beginning of the school year back pack blessing, Halloween costume blessing, Advent wreath making, St. Nicholas celebration, Christmas present collection and wrapping, Lenten family services, and Week of Wonder, our Vacation Bible School. This year we will begin a new program called EYSeedlings, a monthly junior youth group for fourth and fifth grade students who are ready for more Christian fellowship.

Children and Youth

PARENTSThe Nurturing Center and Mother’s Morning OutWhile all children are invited to participate fully in the liturgies here, we understand that some parents are more comfortable having their young children cared for by our professional and loving nurturing center staff during Sunday morning services. The Nurturing Center is open for children four and younger from 8:30 a.m. through the end of the 11:15 a.m. service each week.

Our Mother’s Morning Out (MMO) is “drop in” care for children three months to four years. MMO is offered Monday-Friday from 9 to 1 p.m., August through May, with a charge of $35 per child each day. Reservations are recommended, but drop-offs are welcome when space is available. Each child may attend MMO

a maximum of 8 hours per week. There is a registration fee of $45 each fall which must be turned in with the registration form and child’s immunization records. Learn more at stphilipscathedral.org/mmo.

The Marys and Marthas A way for parents to be connected with their children’s spiritual formation. Mary sat at Jesus’s feet and listened while Martha bustled about, making the necessary preparations. Each meeting begin with a Godly Play story, including time for reflection. Then, we get to work making sure our Godly Play rooms are as beautiful and carefully prepared as they can be for the children who use them each week. All are welcome, but please sign up in advance so we will be prepared with plenty of wine and snacks!

VolunteeringLife in community requires a cycle of leading and participating. Whether you feel called as a leader or not this year, please contact Mary Hunter Rouse at 404-365-1082 or [email protected] to learn more about the Children and Youth Ministries and ways for you and your family to get connected here.

Spiritual Formation

There are many opportunities at the Cathedral to enrich your spiritual journey. In addition to various Bible studies and other series, we offer the following throughout the year:

Centering Prayer A dedicated community gathers for centering prayer weekly at the Cathedral. Thirty minutes of quiet reflection give us a chance to open ourselves deeply to the mystery of God’s presence within us. Centering prayer occurs every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. and Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Lanier House.

TaizéTaizé is an ecumenical monastic community in southern France that developed a style of prayer which attracts more than 2,000 visitors a week. During this service, simple chants are sung repetitiously; these chants become

prayers of the heart. Scripture is heard and there is an extended period of silent prayer. For more information, contact Sandra Carey, 404-680-0438. The service is offered every third Monday of the month from 8 to 9 p.m.

Spiritual Formation and Nurture CommitteeA group of people committed to fostering spiritual formation at the Cathedral meets monthly to plan events. If you are interested in participating, please contact Jeannie Mahood at 404-365-1034.

Labyrinth The labyrinth is an ancient path of prayer dating back to the medieval period of history. Our canvas indoor labyrinth is available in Child Hall most Mondays and Fridays 3 to 8 p.m. It also may be used at alternate times by prior arrangement. Special seasonal evening labyrinth walks

are facilitated throughout the year. The outdoor labyrinth in front of the Lanier House is open daily. For more information, please contact Jeannie Mahood, 404-365-1034. Brochures about the labyrinths are also available in the Atrium.

Book Group at the Cathedral Book StoreOn first Wednesdays, from 6:30–7:30 p.m., readers from the church and the broader community gather at the Cathedral Book Store, to discuss contemporary books and issues from a theological perspective. Discussions are facilitated by various clergy and lay teachers. We will not meet during Lent (February and March).

Quiet Days and RetreatsDecember 5 and February 27Quiet days during Advent, Lent, and other seasons provide an in-depth experience of quiet reflection in a group setting. Quiet Days offer a chance to take a break from the business and “busy-ness” of our everyday lives and listen in an intentional way to God’s invitation in our spiritual journey.

Women’s Lenten RetreatMarch 11–13, 2016Join women of the Cathedral for a weekend of fellowship, prayer, creativity, and time away during Lent. The retreat will be at St. Mary’s Conference Center in Sewanee, which offers a sanctuary of natural beauty and quiet for rest, renewal and reconnection.

There are several different categories of membership. The word “member” denotes

either a confirmed communicant or baptized member:

Confirmed CommunicantsConfirmed communicants are baptized persons who have been confirmed in, or received into, the Episcopal Church and whose names are enrolled in the parish register. Names are enrolled either by confirmation, reception, or letter of transfer from another Episcopal Church. One must be listed in the parish register to be eligible to vote in parish elections and to hold various offices in the church.

Baptized MembersAll baptized persons of any age may be enrolled in the parish register. Names are enrolled either by baptism, letter of transfer or personal request.

AssociatesAssociates are persons who are active in the life of this congregation (through worship, giving, or program participation), but whose official membership remains elsewhere.

Stewardship Pledge and the Operating Budget All parishioners are given the opportunity and privilege of making an annual pledge. When you are asked to make a monetary pledge and to participate in the work of this Cathedral, please do so knowing that you are giving back a part of God’s gifts to you. Gifts to the operating budget support the day-to-day expenses of the parish such as salaries for clergy and lay staff, utility expenses, and outreach. The stewardship campaign begins in September and culminates with an ingathering of pledges on All Saints’ Sunday. Cathedral Arbor Society and Gift Planning Established in 1992, the Cathedral Arbor Society honors those who have remembered the Cathedral through provisions in their estate. Planned

gifts of any amount qualify. All it takes to become a member of the Cathedral Arbor Society is to inform the Stewardship Office that you have made provision for the Cathedral of St. Philip in your will or estate planning. Estate gifts are held in trust by the Endowment Fund. Established in 1972, the Cathedral Endowment Fund is overseen by a volunteer board and supports the Cathedral’s ministries in perpetuity. The Cathedral Endowment Fund serves a crucial purpose at the Cathedral of St. Philip by providing for the care and repair of large capital systems vital to the operation of the Cathedral. In addition to supporting capital expenditures, the Cathedral Endowment Fund supports beautiful music, maintains the stained glass windows, and provides substantial financial support to numerous Atlanta

social service organizations focused on HIV/AIDS. Gifts may be made in life, by bequest, or on a deferred basis. Many of these gift opportunities offer significant financial benefits to the donor. More may be learned by visiting stphilipscathedral.org/giftplanning. If you have questions about your pledge, a payment, or other gifts, please contact David Rocchio, Director of Stewardship at 404-365-1033.

ChapterThe Chapter is the governing body of the Cathedral that determines policy issues, sets goals, and provides stewardship of the Cathedral’s complex operations. The Chapter reviews the activities of each of the Cathedral’s parochial entities and ministries on an annual basis, and reviews the church’s financials on a monthly basis. Unlike the vestries of smaller parishes, the Chapter does not usually get involved in the day-to-day activities of the Cathedral; instead, the Chapter of the Cathedral functions similarly to a Board of Trustees.

Each year, a Nominating Committee identifies a slate of six candidates for the Chapter. Members are elected at the annual parish meeting in December for a three-year term.
