Sunday, March 7 The Solace of Fierce Landscapes: Exploring desert and mountain spirituality

In 1920 W. B. Yeats wrote, “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold.”  He recognized that there is a centrifugal force in the world that pushes us apart.  90 years later this force has increased and the divisions have become more pronounced.  We see this in our politics and in our Church.

This day is a discussion of what it means to be an Anglican where we try to find “a comprehensive union of opposites [and] not a mere balance of contradictory opinions” (Frederic Maurice) as well as what it means to be in a global communion.

By the time this is posted in the Cathedral Connection we will be started on our Lenten journey.

At this writing I am still trying to figure out how I am going to find a discipline or practice that will enhance and spiritualize my time.

Once again, a Newcomer’s Class series was recently held, and this Cathedral community proved to be a place where all are led to feel welcomed and appreciated.

A group of over 20 people, both new to the Cathedral and those who are already long time members, joined together to learn more about what it means to be part of All Souls. 

The next meeting of the All Souls Book Group will take place on Monday, March 15, when we will discuss Marilynne Robinson’s novel, Gilead (2004.)  We will then meet on Monday, March 15th to discuss the novel a second time.
