THE MESSENGER C HRIST C HURCH C ATHEDRAL M OBILE, A LABAMA
A Message from the Dean Dear Cathedral Family, April arrives as a month of festive celebration with Easter Sunday on April 5. As always, we will begin by lifting high the flowered cross, and we will conclude by excitedly “hunting” Easter eggs in the Garden. The month will continue with a bit of rest during Easter Week, as we prepare ourselves for living in the Great Fifty Days of Easter, until the Day of Pentecost, May 24. During this time, our Cathedral organ will undergo some necessary maintenance and repair. This does not mean that it will be silent! We will continue to worship with the beauty of its sound, under the talented hands of our organist and choirmaster, Christopher Powell. We will also launch the establishment of a special fund for the ongoing care and improvement of our organ, and everyone will learn more about the history and structure of this magnificent instrument. Look for more information about this later in April, as well as for your opportunity to become a sustainer of the Cathedral organ. The month concludes with the Cathedral Celebration on Sunday, April 26. This year will mark our tenth anniversary as the Cathedral church of the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast. On that day we will give special thanks for the leadership of two men who
shepherded Christ Church through its founding and early years as a “baby” cathedral. The Very Reverend Johnny Cook will be named “Dean Emeritus” by Bishop Duncan in honor of his distinguished service as rector and first dean. The Right Reverend Philip Duncan will be honored for his tenure as our diocesan bishop, and especially for his vision of a cathedral for our diocese and his work in establishing and supporting that ministry. Bishop Duncan will be making his final parochial visit on that day—meeting with the vestry, preaching, baptizing, confirming young people and adults, and celebrating the Eucharist. Following our worship, we will enjoy a luncheon in the Garden, giving special thanks this year for the ministry of Philip and Kathy in our diocese and expressing our gratitude and love for them as a special part of the Cathedral Family. This month will be a time of enjoying the beauty and joy of Easter life, and I hope that every member of the Cathedral Family is on hand to participate in our life together. Faithfully, The Very Reverend Beverly F. Gibson, Ph.D., Dean
10TH ANNUAL CATHEDRAL CELEBRATION BAPTISM, CONFIRMATION, AND PAROCHIAL VISIT Sunday, April 26 at 10:00 a.m. Luncheon in celebration of Bishop Duncan to follow in the garden The Right Reverend Philip M. Duncan, II will be at Christ Church Cathedral for the Cathedral Celebration on Sunday, April 26, for his last visit as Bishop. Please join us to celebrate our ministry together. If anyone is interested in being confirmed at that time, please speak with Dean Gibson or Canon Wagner.

A year ago, I was finishing up my last semester of seminary and still in discernment as to where God wanted me to “land” after being released by my diocese. I give thanks to God that I have landed here at the Cathedral. This is an awesome place. As you can see in the pages of our newsletter, we have much to offer as a community of faith. Thank you to the Cathedral family for helping to make our Pancake Breakfast a great success! Please see page 7 for photos and more information. We have many happenings this month and beyond for our children and youth that I would like to commend to you all for your support. On April 26, Bishop Duncan will make his visitation and we will have a baptism and confirmation for our youth and adults. In your prayer time, I would ask that as we move closer to that event, you would remember our Confirmands in your prayers. Our youth Confirmands are Davis Ashcraft, Banks Griffith, Sadie Ladd, Elizabeth LaRene, and Tré Mitchell. I hope you will come and support our Confirmands on April 26. Later this month, our youth will have a function with the youth from Trinity Episcopal. This is a great opportunity for our youth to have fellowship and fun with other
Episcopal youth in the area. We will share more information once things are finalized. Our Sunday School continues to meet this month on April 12 and 19. We will recognize our teachers and students on May 3. If you are interested in assisting with our Christian Formation next year, please let me know. Also on May 3, we will recognize our graduating seniors. On that Sunday, I invite you all to come and help to show our love and appreciation for all of the work the graduating seniors have put in throughout their academic careers. Finally, as we enter the summer months and we enjoy our life here on the gulf, I would like to make one more invitation for our children. The Cathedral’s Vacation Bible School is June 9-11 and will be here before we know it! Please mark your calendars and bring your children or grandchildren. Have a great month and I’ll see you at church! Blessings,

M us i c M i n i s t r y Dear Friends in Christ, As we bask in the joy of Easter, our music continues to reflect the radiance of the resurrection. Just like the Christmas season, we celebrate Easter longer than the singular day! Hopefully, we will all be on the lookout for unexpected inspiration in church and in the world around us in the springtime of faith that the Easter season brings. Our Cathedral Celebration Sunday on April 26 will feature exciting music to accompany Confirmation and celebrate our identity as the Cathedral for the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast. Appropriately, we celebrate this occasion on what is known as “Good Shepherd Sunday.” J. S. Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze will be featured in this service, and the story behind this piece illustrates well how beauty may be found in unexpected places and that God really can work with just about anything! While J. S. Bach (1685-1750) is a popular character in my weekly email articles, he is such a multi-faceted composer that writing about him never gets old. Sheep May Safely Graze is one part of a larger work, namely, Bach’s Cantata 208, “Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd” (“What pleases me is the lively hunt only”). Obviously, while there are religious overtones, this cantata is one of Bach’s relatively few “secular cantatas.” This piece was composed in 1713 to celebrate the birthday of Duke Christian of Weissenfels who loved to hunt (hence, the title). This cantata was commissioned as a gift from Bach’s Weimar employer, Duke Wilhelm Ernst. As an aside, while in Weimar, Bach served as organist and later concert master at the local court. In this piece, Bach sets a text by Salomo Franck (1659-1725), a librettist at the Weimar court. Franck’s text basically depicts four mythological figures, Diana, Pan, Endymion, and Pales (the Roman goddess of shepherds and flocks who sings Sheep May Safely Graze) having a conversation about the pleasures of hunting and how wonderful Duke Christian is. The piece was originally performed with Bach as conductor at the birthday party of Duke Christian in his hunting lodge. Like so many musical pieces of the
time that were designed to gratify a noble or monarch, the text is rather mediocre and lavish in its praise of the duke. The beauty here is in Bach’s musical writing and in the fact that one movement became one of his most famous pieces. From the outset of the introduction, one imagines a lush pastoral setting complete with shepherd’s pipes in the distance (maybe even Pan’s pipes). The original intent in this piece (a break from the hunting themed movements) is to praise the duke as a good and Godly ruler like unto Christ, the Good Shepherd (a common metaphor harkening back to feudal times). However, it has come to mean so much more throughout the centuries. The original text has since been edited and the words regarding the duke removed. The accompaniment now reflects the joyous soul kept safe and loved by a loving shepherd, Jesus Christ, and the vocal line expresses a graceful comfort in this pastoral setting. Generally, the piece still celebrates much of what was originally intended, but focuses more directly on Christ. While Bach almost surely couldn’t have imagined the wide usage and acclaim this little movement receives and might even be surprised that part of his “hunting cantata” is performed in churches all over the world, he would certainly be pleased. Who but God can tell what something will become or end up? While things may seem to wind down a bit after Easter Sunday, our music ministry still has some lovely musical surprises for your inspiration over these next weeks. Let’s look for the unexpected! Peace in Christ, Christopher W. Powell Organist and Choir Master

Episcopal Church Q & As Why do we celebrate together? We celebrate together because Jesus called us into community. We know this because Jesus called a group of disciples, and before he died he told them to go out and make other disciples in every land on earth. Jesus also commanded us to love one another as we have been loved, so we know that to live a Christian life in which we are in relationship with others as well as in a relationship with God.
All days are Sundays.
Please confirm that you have a graduating high school senior by contacting the Cathedral office before Monday, April 27.

Pa n c a ke B r e a k f a s t f o r t h e F u s e P r o j e c t R e p o r t until we reached our goal of 600 pancakes. A few of them got creative and put several designs into their pancakes and one them spelled out his name in batter! Thank you Cathedral family! You all got behind our youth Confirmands’ spring outreach project. The Confirmands, with the help of our FUN Club, Junior High, and Senior High Sunday School students, were able to put on the pancake breakfast. The breakfast benefited the Project Fuse organization that assists local children. The Cathedral’s own Grant and Brie Zarzour helped found this local non-profit organization.
Brie and Grant Zarzour
Not only did our children and youth sell tickets, but they worked hard. Our children and youth gathered on Saturday, March 21, and cooked pancakes for three and a half hours. Confirmation sponsors and parents also pitched in, but know that the pancakes you ate were cooked by our younger parishioners. They put in the “sweat equity,” while still having fun. They worked together and kept at it
The pancake breakfast was a great success. Our goal was to donate $800 to the Fuse Project. We met and exceeded out goal thanks to all of our sponsors and those who joined us on March 22 to eat.

Our featured presenter will be The Reverend Lauren Farrington Flowers. Lauren was ordained to the priesthood in June 2013, in the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast, she served as the rector of St. John’sMonroeville before moving to Savannah, Georgia, last May. Currently she is the associate rector of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church on Skidaway Island. Though now canonically resident in the Diocese of Georgia, her calling was nurtured by the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast, most especially the people of The Church of the Nativity in Dothan, Alabama. The mother of three grown children: Douglass, Grace, and Virginia Flowers, she walks daily, and often in the company of her cairn terrier Scout. This one-day retreat will explore the metaphor of singing in the dark as spiritual practice. We will make meditative use of the Nativity Labyrinth as a four-fold path: at the entrance to the Labyrinth, pondering the gift of the holy child, Jesus, son of Mary; on the path toward the center, engaging the disordering and subversive work of Mary’s Song (The Magnificat); at the center, presenting to God the holy child that is your life in Christ; on the path out, moving toward the gift of your life, sent out in peace by way of Simeon’s Song. Registration Forms on the bulletin board near the Chapel. Registration Fee: $20—Due Friday, April 10. Checks payable to ECW Commission.

The Cathedral Mission Statement The Cathedral is the spiritual center of the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast. The Cathedral is a dynamic and evolving church that serves as a liturgical, educational, and pastoral center for Diocesan life. It serves as a visible symbol of unity and promotes growth, hope, and a deepening trust in the Lord. The Cathedral is a place where the Gospel of Jesus Christ will be faithfully preached and responded to, and it will model new concepts and ideas for education, evangelism, and outreach to which the Gospel calls us.
