In the early 2000s, all across North America, a new conversation about church was brewing. Younger people from a variety of denominational streams were waking up to the reality that the church as it had been in the 1980s and 1990s was no longer connecting with Gen Xers or younger. Youth pastors and younger leaders […]

Recently, a Friday (12:15) Eucharist at the Cathedral drew us into the life of Bishop Edward King (1825-1910).

A Poem

(1881-1955) Controversial Visionary and Mystic In his book Everything Ablaze, Meditating on the Mystical Vision of Teilhard de Chardin (Paulist Press, 2017), David Richo writes “Mysticism is a way of knowing spiritual realities by experience.
