We can’t return, we can only look behind from where we came, and go round and round and round in the circle game.” But the first of her songs with which I fell in love was “Rainy Night House,” a meditation on a man who took her to his mother’s house one night; that man, apparently, was actually Leonard Cohen, a “refugee from a wealthy family.” She, on the other hand, was “from the Sunday School,” and “sang soprano in the upstairs choir.” She sings a song about a priest, who “took his contradictions out / And he splashed them on my brow / So which words was I then to doubt / When choosing what to vow.” When I sing that song, I have to change the gender of the priest to a woman! I don’t have to change the gender when I sing, “I Was a Free Man in Paris.” And it was she—not Crosby, Stills, and Nash—who wrote the great anthem, “Woodstock,” with the quite religious refrain, “We are stardust, we are golden / and we got to get ourselves back to the garden.” (In fact, however, Joni Mitchell was not even at Woodstock. Her boyfriend, Graham Nash, was. Such is the poet.) No matter what generation we are a part of, each generation has its good popular music. Good music of any generation has good poetry in it. And good poetry is always spiritual. Good music and good poetry are both spiritual; they help us to see something of God in the world, something holy in the world. And, here’s to Joni Mitchell, a poet and musician, par excellence.

“ God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places”From this week’s lectionaryEphesians 1:20

JONI MITCHELL –AND JAZZ/OLD ROCK/FOLK MUSIC AT THE PIANO

I suppose that my own musical style is jazz/old rock/folk. Sometimes it’s much more jazz. Other times, when a guitar is around, it’s old folk. But piano is my instrument, and I love it when people are actually listening to jazz. At the parish retreat at Kanuga on Memorial Day weekend, the odds are that I will be playing piano a bit—maybe a lot!—during a full and fun time. I hope many of you join us.Then, on Memorial Day itself (May 30), we celebrate “Chill on the Hill,” a lovely concert and fundraiser for our outreach projects (“Cathedral Without Walls” – with that night’s proceeds going to mission work in Haiti). That evening, we will gather in the church parking lot with picnics and friends, and we will host one of the great local cover bands in our area: Yacht Rock Revue. They are really good, and I am looking forward to hearing them again, and dancing! The Wall Street Journal even wrote about them last year!But the first act at “Chill on the Hill” will be me. Yes, someone has to open, and it is fun to be the dean who also plays the piano and sings. I usually tell people that I am rather like an organ grinder’s monkey. The monkey doesn’t have to be very good; it’s the spectacle of the thing that is entertaining.

MUSIC

The blessed pair of sirens sings heavenly praise! Voice and verse blend wondrously in the upcoming program of English choral masterworks to be performed by the Cathedral Choir and Schola. In preparation, a pre-concert talk at 6:30 p.m. on the evening of the performance will reflect on verse from Shakespeare’s musings on the “music of the spheres,” from Milton’s heavenly At a Solemn Music, and from W.H. Auden’s poignant and affecting The Twelve. These brilliant texts parallel the ancient canticles, Te Deum and Magnificat, which throughout history have connected us by voice and verse to the great company of heaven who forever sing God’s praise. Please join us for a discussion of these remarkable texts, the politics and history that birthed them, and the music given them by masters of the English choral tradition.

The Cathedral Choristers joined with the Cathedral Schola to sing a wonderful Evensong service on Sunday, April 24. They will complete their season this Sunday, May 8, singing for the 8:45 a.m. youth Sunday service.

Every day we have so many blessings that come our way. Let us rejoice and give thanks this spring by participating in our Cathedral’s United Thank Offering (UTO). UTO has been a tradition since 1889 and supports the missions and ministries of the Episcopal Church. Every cent collected fulfills diocesan grant requests, and each year over $2.5 million dollars is received through UTO offerings.

Pick up a blue box this Sunday and place it in a prominent place in your home like the kitchen counter or wherever you keep your keys and wallet. Ingathering day is Sunday, June 5. Having spent several weeks adding daily offerings of thanks to your blue box, on June 4, you can open it and count your offerings. Write a check for your total amount, payable to the Cathedral of St. Philip (with UTO in the memo line), and bring it to church where you will receive a UTO envelope for the offering plate. Then, take your empty blue box and keep the tradition alive at home until the fall ingathering day!

NEW MEMBERSSusan and Jeffrey Cimbalo, and their daughter Amelia, from New Kent, VA

Recently the Diocesan Hispanic Ministry sponsored its annual Taste of Latin America dinner in Child Hall. Along with a shared potluck supper prepared by Hispanic parishioners, there was music, dancing, raffle prizes and a piñata! After dinner, donations for humanitarian projects in Latin America were collected by “passing the hat.” Over $2,100 will soon be on the way to help orphaned children in Bolivia and Mexico, small farmers coping with a drought in Nicaragua, and victims of the earthquake in Ecuador. Shared time, shared food, and shared money have become loving assistance for people who are suffering and struggling in difficult situations.

HISPANIC MINISTRYST. VERONICA'S SEEKS TOILETRY DONATIONSSt. Veronica’s Guild would like to thank all those who have participated in this year's toiletry drive for four Episcopal ministries in the Atlanta area, which serve homeless and near homeless persons. Each ministry has expressed profound appreciation for our donations. Now that the weather is warmer and more people are traveling, the guild would like to remind everyone that we still need new, unopened, travel-sized or regular-sized, personal care items. Having recently visited most of these ministries, guild members report that the most requested items are bar soap, washcloths, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, and feminine hygiene products. Donations may be left at the Information Desk. For more information, contact Lucy Perry, 404-350-9494, or Dianne Otwell, [email protected].

OUTREACH

DID YOU KNOW? In addition to Sunday services in the Cathedral and Mikell Chapel, we

also worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness every weekday? Join us for some midweek

refreshment or a lunchtime boost, 12:15 p.m. in St. Mary's Chapel.

MEET A MEMBER: ANDI O'BRYAN

Andi O'Bryan has been a member of the Cathedral since 2004. Christie Jennison, program coordinator for membership and stewardship, recently sat down with Andi to talk about her experiences at the Cathedral.

Andi grew up in Charlotte, NC and attended a Presbyterian church with her family. She met her husband, Doug, in the sixth grade, although they did not start dating until their junior year at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. After graduating, Andi went on to the University of Georgia to earn a degree in social work before joining Doug in Atlanta. They have three daughters: Grace (8), Charlotte (5), and Sally (1).

How did you get to the Cathedral? “In our early twenties, Doug and I weren’t really consistent church-going people. When the attacks happened on September 11, we sort of looked at each other and decided it was time to go back to church. We tried a few different ones around the city and finally settled at the Cathedral. Doug grew up in the Episcopal Church, so he felt right at home, and I really came to love it over the years. We were just blown away by everything at the Cathedral from our first service here. Right after we got married I

took the confirmation class, and that’s when I fell in love with the Episcopal Church. I learned so much – each week, a different clergy member taught the class, so we got to know them that way. The clergy are incredibly accessible, and I don’t know that I felt that at other places.”

What activities are you involved in at the Cathedral? “The first way we got involved in the parish was through Foyers dinners. We joined a group with people of all ages and in all stages of life, and I really appreciated that diversity because it helped us get to know other parishioners. We met another young couple through one of our groups who are some of our closest friends today, which is a cool testament to the community here. After I had my oldest daughter, Grace, I started attending St. Monica’s events. I’m now a co-leader of the group and have formed some great friendships through that over the years. What’s great about St. Monica’s is that we’re pretty laid back – all these young moms who attend need that flexibility in their life! Life happens, so we try to make it as welcoming and as easy as possible. I also teach Godly Play classes on Sunday mornings for kindergarten, first and second graders. When the Godly Play convention was here in Atlanta a few years ago, the teachers were able to attend a training, which was so helpful for us to understand more about the background of it. Now I’m a huge fan! It’s very much story-telling, and young kids can relate to that and they need that. It also really encourages kids to question and to wonder, which leaves them wanting to learn more. Another thing we’ve been involved with for a few years now is

the Homeless Requiem, and I think the way this big, gorgeous church opens its doors and welcomes everyone in is just incredible. Seeing all these parishioners of all ages who bend over backwards to make our guests feel comfortable is amazing to watch.”

What does the Cathedral do well? “Doug’s mom passed away last year, and she was super intentional about creating a community at church. She set such a great example for both of us of how to do that. I’d love for my girls to have that – to feel a community surrounding them and a sense of place. I think the opportunities here provide for that type of community and really foster it. It could definitely be intimidating at the Cathedral to take that first step in creating a community. But once you decide to show up for that first event, you are able to form connections and you leave feeling like you know people. What we love about the Cathedral is that our kids are so comfortable here. It’s really exciting to see how they have this foundation of faith in their lives. And even now, we can see how that foundation will play a part in their lives as they grow up. Our involvement has made the Cathedral feel much smaller than it really is.”
