Dean Search Committee Update
The Search Committee and Bishop Hollingsworth continue to work through their discernment with the final candidates, as candidates themselves are discerning their own respective callings. While the light at the end of this tunnel is shining bright, we are not quite there yet. Please continue to keep the Bishop, Committee, and the candidates in your prayers.

Please prayerfully consider making a meaningful pledge to the "Answering God's Call" 2019 stewardship campaign. It will help us welcome our new dean!

Dean's
Forum
Is Now Just
the
"
Forum
"
You may have noticed some changes in the
"Dean's
Forum
"
we now refer to simply as
the
"
Forum
." There are two reasons for this.
The
Forum
is now being offered September through July and takes place whether
the
dean can be present or not. Secondly,
the
program format has shifted over
the
last year from guest interviews
to mostly presentations by both members and guests with an emphasis on group discussion.
The
Forum's new format -- interactive presentations often with PowerPoint slides or hand-outs with discussion -- has made podcasting challenging and less effective. For this reason, there were several
Forums last spring that did not have podcasts posted. They just didn't work outside
the live presentation. Podcasts are being made and posted for those
Forums that lend themselves to this medium and have broad appeal (see the September 30 Forum item below). Weekly sermon and Evensong podcasts, however, will continue to be offered online as regularly as before.
For questions or more information about
the
podcast program at Trinity Cathedral, contact Holly Tomasch, Director of Development & Communications at
htomasch@trinitycleveland.org
