A Culture of Embrace

The Cathedral seeks to be an open, loving, and diverse parish that embraces all who wish to know God in this place. We embrace and seek to understand those whose faith differs from our own, and we are willing to work through difficult subjects. Through education, dialogue, and engagement with the community around us, we actively address the attitudes that divide the human family and seek to thwart God’s love.

The Justice & Peace

Council is called to illuminate and fulfill God’s justice in the world. As needs and issues fluctuate, the council responds in a timely manner. Currently the council is focused on four issues: Medical Debt Relief, Refugees, LGBTQ+ support, and Civil Rights. The council paired with the Mission Outreach Council on several initiatives - educating parishioners on Medical Debt relief (which raised $30,000 this past summer to cancel $2 million in medical debt) and sponsoring a refugee family from Guatemala. The council represented the Cathedral by walking in the Annual LGBTQ+ Pride Walk and Eucharist, as well as staffing the Diocesan table at the Montrose Center’s Housing Our Future Gala. The council was highly involved in the Cathedral’s Sacred Ground Dialogue on Race and Faith, and has a Civil Rights pilgrimage planned to Atlanta, Montgomery, and Selma in 2023.
