If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.From this week’s lectionary

WHY THE CROSS?Why the cross?

According to Episcopal custom, most churches will transfer the Feast of the Holy Cross this year—from September 14, its normal date, to the Monday following, September 15. The Feast of the Holy Cross is not normally observed on a typical Sunday, and the assigned Sunday propers usually take precedence.

However, on this Sunday, September 14, the Cathedral of St. Philip will take notice of Holy Cross Day, and we will do so with sage deliberation and steady care. In fact, during this program year (2014-2015) at the Cathedral, we plan to take advantage of some of the lesser known feasts of the church and highlight their themes on the Sundays closest to them. These themes will not always replace our Sunday lessons, but the themes themselves will be emphasized. In particular our Evensong music and meditations will often use these adjacent feast days.

So, this Sunday: Holy Cross. I will focus on Holy Cross both in my Sunday sermons and in my opening Dean’s Forum class. However, I will do so with careful deliberation, because I realize that the cross, even the “holy” cross has been used in quite detrimental ways throughout Christian history. James Carroll’s mighty book, Constantine’s Sword, was a scathing critique of the manner in which the cross has especially been used in anti-semitic ways. That is one of the attitudes towards the cross that I seek to redeem.

Furthermore, the cross was surely understood originally as a violent symbol. In its day, it was as violent and as shameful a form of death as would be hanging or lynching years later. But the wonder of the cross is that its violent power was overturned, even transformed. One of our old prayers states that God “made an instrument of shameful death to be for us the means of life and peace.”

However, exactly HOW this transformation occurred is debated and contemplated daily in the Christian world. We know we are saved in Christ, but just exactly how did that salvation occur? Many people, myself included, refuse to believe that the cross should be understood according to the same violent principles of the first century AD. The cross does not mean that something violent and bloody needs to occur in our lives in order for salvation to be realized.

Instead, the shape of the cross is the mighty symbol of paradox. Many people have understand the horizontal axis of the cross to mean reconciliation with each other, and the vertical axis of the cross to mean reconciliation of humanity with God, with the transcendent. But its very shape, an intersection of two lines, can be seen as paradox, as the meeting of two different worlds. Perhaps the cross means the paradox of reconciliation.

Surely, the cross finally means forgiveness. Join us this Sunday, throughout the day, for further meditation on the holy cross of Jesus. “Why the Cross?” will be the subject of the Dean’s Forum at 10:10 am, too.

“WHY THE CROSS?” is the subject of the Dean’s Forum this Sunday, September 14, at 10:10 a.m. Dean Sam Candler will review the ways that the cross has been used and abused in Christian history, but why he believes its power is still critical and valuable for Christians today. Join us!

ADULT CLASSES

THE DEAN’S FORUMChild HallDean Sam Candler leads a discussion on topics of faith and life.

PETER AND PAULRoom 120Do you ever struggle understanding the epistle readings on Sunday morning? What do you know about Peter and Paul? Come learn more about their life, ministry, and the origins of the early church.

This 6-week series led by Canon Wallace Marsh will begin with a brief introduction, followed by a 30 minute video clip from “Peter and Paul,” and conclude with a brief discussion on the video and appointed biblical text. Don’t be surprised if the book of Acts reads like a Hollywood drama, and at the end of the series you walk away with a greater appreciation for Peter and Paul! For more information, contact Canon Wallace Marsh (wmarsh@stphilipscathedral.org or 404-365-1094).

OLD FASHIONED SUNDAY SCHOOLRoom 133This term we’ll look at the Lord’s Prayer and ask what would it mean to really live into it and make it our own. We’ll look at what the prayer says —the history, psychology, and theology of the words. There’s a lot to learn here. But, we won’t stop there. We’ll look at why the prayer seems to speak so directly to us. What are we really asking God to do? And, what would we do if it actually happened? Join us. You’ll learn about the Lord’s Prayer, of course, but we hope that you will also deepen your own faith in the process. You’ll find a light heart and a broad welcome. The class has been organized by Mack Leath. The sessions will be led by Canon George Maxwell, Canon Wallace Marsh, Mary Caroline Cravens, Barbara Pendergrast, and Jennifer Priestley.

EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY (EFM)

A few spaces are available for the EfM class that begins September 16. The class meets in the Lanier House on

Tuesday nights, 7-9:30 p.m. For more information and enrollment forms, contact Jane Elliott (404-291-2234) or

Rick Tyler (404-375-6470).

ELDER MINISTRYWalthour LibraryCanon Carolynne Williams will begin a series of classes on Aging with Courage. How do you think about aging? Do you ignore the signs of aging? Is everyone else aging except you? Come to a class to learn, share your wisdom, and have fun about aging. There is no particular age minimum or maximum. After all, we are participating in the process of aging in one way or another. The truth is no one is really interested or wants to discuss the alternative. Having a sense of humor is helpful. See you then. The classes are independent of one another.

GREEK CLASSESRoom 356Beginning with the alphabet and pronunciation, the goal of the Beginning Biblical Greek class (Sundays at 10:10 a.m. in Room 356) is to equip students to read selected New Testament texts in Greek utilizing various tools, such as a dictionary and English-Greek Interlinear. No previous knowledge of Greek is required.

In the Continuing Biblical Greek class (Sundays at 1:15 p.m. in Room 356), students will learn to translate from the original language of the scriptures. Enjoy discussions of the Greek of the New Testament texts, and how that can add nuance and depth of understanding to one’s reading of the New Testament.

For more information contact the Rev. Thee Smith, PhD (404-727-0636 or thee.smith@emory.edu) or go to stphilipscathedral.org/greek.

THE BOOK OF ISAIAHRoom 122The Isaiah Bible study continues this fall looking at the second and third sections of the book. From Isaiah, we’ll move on to the book of Daniel—a collection of narratives and apocalypses. One of the themes of Daniel is the nature of royal or state power in relation to the sovereignty of God. We will relate this back to the prophets’ (including Isaiah’s) understanding of God acting in history. A second theme is how to reconcile a belief in the justice of God and the continuing sufferings of his people. For more information, please contact Jim Bingham (404-373-3273 or binghamjim@bellsouth.net) or Gordon Mathis (404-842-1595).

These adult classes meet during the education hour, Sunday from 10:10-11 a.m.

CHILDREN'S AND YOUTH MINISTRIES

CHILDREN'S CHAPELChildren’s Chapel takes place during the 8:45 a.m. service as an option for parents and children who are not yet ready to experience the full liturgy together, though children are always welcome in “big” church. Children three years through third grade begin in church with their parents, follow the children’s acolytes and leaders out at the Sequence Hymn, then rejoin their parents at the Offertory. Two-year-olds attend their own chapel service, which begins at 8:45 a.m. Parents who would like their children two and younger to join them for communion may go pick them up from Room 227 at the Peace.

The downstairs chapel, now called “Primary Chapel,” is home to those three-year-old, four-year-old and kindergarten children who enjoy experiencing the Liturgy of the Word in an intimate and age-specific context. “Alleluia Chapel” takes place upstairs in St. Mary’s and is designed for first through third graders, though fourth and fifth graders are welcome to continue attending if they find it compelling.

BRAVES GAMEThe youth (grades 6-12) will head down to Turner Field on Sunday, September 21 to watch the Braves take on the New York Mets and fight for a playoff spot. The group will meet in the Atrium at 12 p.m. and arrive back by 5 p.m. Email Rebecca Storace (rstorace@stphilipscathedral.org) to reserve a ticket.

REGISTER FOR CONFIRMATION CLASSConfirmation is open to 8th graders and older youth who have not yet been confirmed. The confirmation process will begin with an overnight retreat January 10-11 which will include an official enrollment into the confirmation process at the 8:45 a.m. service on Sunday, January 11.

Participation in the retreat as well as the Sunday morning classes is expected, but alternative arrangements will be possible when necessary.

Confirmation class will meet on January 11 and 25; February 1, 8, and 22; and March 1 and 22.

Regular middle school Sunday school will be available for 8th graders on the Sundays that confirmation class does not meet and for all 8th graders not participating in confirmation.

Youth will be confirmed during the 11:15 a.m. service on Sunday, April 19. Youth unable to attend this confirmation service are welcome to join in one of the many diocesan confirmations throughout the year.

Registration for confirmation class will begin on September 14.

CHURCH LEADERSHIP

The Chapter Needs Your Help in Choosing the Cathedral’s LeadersThe Chapter Nominating Committee is accepting nominations for the 2015 slate to be elected at the annual parish meeting in December.

1. WHAT DOES THE CHAPTER DO? As the governing body of the Cathedral, the Chapter determines policy issues, sets goals, and provides stewardship of the Cathedral’s complex operations. The Chapter formally reviews the status of each of the Cathedral’s parochial entities and ministries, as well as parish financial statements. Unlike smaller parishes, the Chapter does not usually get involved in the day-to-day activities of the Cathedral. Instead, the Chapter of the Cathedral operates as a board of trustees or board of stewards.

2. WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT FOR A CHAPTER MEMBER?Service on the Chapter is for a three-year term, beginning in January. Members are required to attend meetings once a month, typically on the fourth Tuesday from 5:30-7 p.m. There is an annual retreat one weekend in early January.

3. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO RUN FOR CHAPTER?Chapter by-laws require the following: Any communicant of the parish in good and regular standing, who is not less than eighteen years of age, a regular attendant in Cathedral worship in the year preceding election, and known by the treasurer to have made and maintained a stated financial commitment for church support in the year preceding election.

4. WHAT MAKES A GOOD CHAPTER MEMBER?The most important quality of an effective Chapter member is an ability to see the larger picture. Most Chapter members have held leadership positions in more than one of the church’s ministries or parochial entities. They must be active, informed members of the Cathedral’s parish life. Leadership experience in the community is also important. Some knowledge of trusteeship and large organizational systems is helpful. A member must have the time to commit to monthly meetings and other activities that arise during the year. For example, most Chapter members assist in some way with stewardship campaign activities.

5. HOW ARE CHAPTER MEMBERS ELECTED?Chapter members are elected at the Annual Parish Meeting in December. The election process begins early in the Fall when names of potential Chapter members are submitted to the Nominating Committee. Eligibility is verified and nominees are polled to confirm interest and availability. Based on the response, the committee choose six strong candidates. That slate is sent to the Chapter for approval. Candidate information is published in the Cathedral Times prior to the Annual Parish Meeting, allowing time for parishioners to become familiar with proposed candidates before voting.

6. WHAT DOES THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A SLATE?The Nominating Committee looks at candidates who will round out the experience of continuing Chapter members. Consideration is given to a nominee’s past experience and qualifications (see #4). An attempt is made to include representatives from all age and gender groups, while ensuring that a broad range of ministries and parochial entities of the Cathedral parish is represented.

7. WHO IS ON THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE?The committee is forming now, consisting of a chair, the six outgoing members of the Chapter (Henry Benson, Merritt Dyke, Grover Maxwell, Holly Sims, Caroline Wallace, Buddy Weston), one member from each of the first- and second-year Chapter classes, and three at-large members. The Dean, Sam Candler, and Senior Warden, Jennifer Rosenblath, serve ex-officio.

8. HOW DOES THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE OBTAIN A LIST OF POTENTIAL NOMINEES?The Nominating Committee is now soliciting names of potential nominees from all areas of the Cathedral family. Parishioners are asked to be pro-active in exercising their voice in choosing leaders. Names of nominees, including your own, can be submitted to any Nominating Committee member or to the Office of the Dean. Neither members of the Nominating Committee nor their spouses are allowed to be nominated.

9. HOW CAN I ENSURE THAT MY VOICE IS HEARD IN THE PROCESS?You are called as a Cathedral member to be a strong advocate in choosing your Cathedral’s leadership. Talk with the current Chapter members. Submit names and if you wish, include reasons why you believe a candidate would make a good leader. Later this Fall review the proposed slate and get to know the candidates. If you have questions, please call!

10. SUBMIT CHAPTER NOMINATIONS Nominations can be made to any member of the Nominating Committee or to the Dean’s office by September 30: jjohnson@stphilipscathedral.org or 404-365-1031.

MUSIC

PATRICK A. SCOTT, NEW ASSISTANT ORGANIST-CHOIRMASTER, TO PERFORM On Sunday, September 14 at 3:15 p.m., Dr. Patrick A. Scott, our new Assistant Organist-Choirmaster, will give his first organ recital here as part of the weekly Sunday Afternoon Recital Series. Patrick, a graduate of Birmingham-Southern College and the University of Texas—where he studied with the late Dr. Gerre Hancock and Gerre’s wife, Dr. Judith Hancock—will perform a program of rarely-heard works by late 19th- and early 20th-century composers. Patrick will close with an example of his incredible skill at improvisation. We encourage everyone not to miss this marvelous opportunity to hear one of the Cathedral’s own musicians.

CHORAL EVENSONG SUNDAY AT 4:00Following the Sunday afternoon recital, the Cathedral Schola will sing our weekly service of Choral Evensong at 4 p.m. Music will include works by Robert Lehman, Charles Beaudrot, Richard Proulx, and Renaissance composer Giovanni Maria Nanino. Don’t miss this weekly opportunity to experience worship through some of the greatest music and liturgy of our Anglican tradition.

SCHOLA CANTORUM OF OXFORD (ENGLAND)James Burton, conductor

Friday, September 26, 2014 – 8 p.m.

Presented by the British Consulate-General of Atlanta and Friends of Cathedral Music

Patron tickets: $100 in advance (includes two tickets and unreserved seats in the preferred seating section of the Cathedral Nave)General admission: $20 in advance / $25 day of concertSeniors & students: $15 in advance / $20 day of concertTickets are available from the Cathedral Book Store and online at stphilipscathedral.org/concerts.

Schola Cantorum of Oxford is one of the longest established and most widely known chamber choirs in the United Kingdom. The choir has worked with such highly respected musicians and former patrons as Sir Michael Tippett and Yehudi Menuhin, as well as Leonard Bernstein, Gustav Leonhart, Colin Davis, Mark Elder, and Neville Marriner. The Schola comprises around thirty singers, most of whom are students at Oxford University, and the group is well known worldwide by its long history of recordings and international tours. During the past decade the choir has toured Argentina, China, France, Israel, Mexico, Poland, and throughout the United Kingdom. The Schola’s last tour of the United States was some twenty years ago, and so their stop in Atlanta will truly be a rare and wonderful opportunity to hear this fine ensemble perform live.

Schola Cantorum of Oxford, conducted by James Burton, will present a program of works from the heart of the English Choral tradition. The program will feature masterpieces by Herbert Howells (Take him, earth, for cherishing), Hubert Parry (Songs of Farewell), and Charles Villiers Stanford’s little heard Latin Magnificat, a tour de force of the a cappella repertoire which is on the same ambitious scale as Bach’s great choral motets.

Schola Cantorum’s program will also include motets from the English Renaissance by composers such as Thomas Weelkes, John Sheppard and Thomas Tallis, as well as works written by living composers who are closely associated with the modern choral scene in Oxford. The concerts will begin with world première performances of a stunning new choral work by Roderick Williams, and the choir will sing a recent work, Te lucis ante terminum, by the choir’s Music Director and Conductor James Burton, which was written to commemorate this year’s anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.
