Roped Up
by Roger Morris
Yesterday was yesterday.
Tomorrow comes, climbing that rope,
ropes climbing into yesterday.
And yesterday is just another climbing
into tomorrows that never come.
The ropes just keep unraveling.
The ropes they twist and bind you.
Climbing those ropes is like climbing
into seasons gone by.

FROM THE DEAN
"To everything there is a season." Yes, I believe that. And after forty years of amazingly good work for the diocese, nineteen of them as Cathedral Administrator, Ethel Crawford deserves a wonderful new season of rest and refreshment. But it's hard to say goodbye to her for those of us who have had the great blessing of working with
her here. Ethel's organization, deep knowledge of how-we-do-things-around-here, and great sense of humor were invaluable to me as I eased into my work here this spring. This came after she "held down the fort" through several years of various kinds of transition at the cathedral. Amazing.
But turn, turn, turn we must. And holy endin
gs make room for holy beginnings. And so it is with joy that we welcome Kevin Vetiac as our new Cathedral Administrator. Kevin's great administrative skills, calm and faithful
presence in the midst of the unexpected, and commitment to the mission of the cathedral make him a great addition to our team.
Kevin is already at work here, and you can reach him at
kvetic@diomass.org. Ethel is helping out a day or two week this fall, as Kevin settles in and as we gear up for the program year. I hope you will plan to join us on October 19 at 6:30 pm for evensong and a reception to honor Ethel. And I hope you will join me in looking forward to the new things God will do through Kevin and the rest of our cathedral team in the days and years ahead.
Christ's peace to you,

The Rev. Canon Cristina Rathbone
Listen to Dean Amy McCreath's sermon preached last Sunday.

Conference Room
Faith Matters for September
"Reclaiming Jesus" is a manifesto signed up a wide array of Christian leaders, including our presiding bishop, rejecting the misuse of Christianity to defend and promote unjust, inhumane policies and calling on the church to reclaim its moral voice. The authors' position is that our nation is experiencing a moral crisis, fomented by those in power. More info is
here.
Each week we will reflect on a passage from scripture and a section of the "Reclaiming Jesus" manifesto, on topics like "Civil Discourse," "Truth is Morally Central to Our Personal and Public Lives," and "To Protect and Seek Justice." In this way, we will grow our ability to engage others grounded in our faith and discern how we are called to work for a better commonwealth for all.
The Social Justice Committee will meet on Sept. 16 in the 3rd Floor Conference Room following Faith Matters.
Morning Worship Every Weekday @ the Cathedral
Starting September 10, we are now offering prayer every weekday at 8:30 am, growing our capacity to be a "House of prayer for all people." These services are all designed to end in time for people to get to work by 9 am. Please share the news with friends and parishioners who live or work downtown. This effort is a partnership of the cathedral and Episcopal City Mission, Emmanuel Church, Trinity Copley Square, and St. Augustine and St. Martin's Church.
Mondays: Morning Prayer (with a focus on justice)
Tuesdays: Holy Eucharist
Wednesdays: Morning Prayer (Expansive language)
Thursdays: Morning Prayer (BCP)
Fridays: Matins (sung morning prayer)
"Ministry of the Steps" events next week
