As a child attending St. Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast, I saw little color in our worship. The clergy of the very low Church of Ireland wore black cassock, white surplice, and black stole.

What Is a Christian? Class for Newcomers and Others
Wednesdays, Oct 6 - Nov 3, 7 - 8:30 pm, Via Zoom
Each fall we offer the opportunity to explore "What is a Christian?". In this 5 week course, offered on Zoom and led by cathedral clergy, both new Christians and lifelong churchgoers will explore some of the basic questions of faith in Christianity (next spring we will offer a follow-up class, "What is an Episcopalian?").
Whether you are brand new at the cathedral or a life-long member, join us to explore questions like: Who is Jesus? Where do we go when we die? and Why do bad things happen? We will make time for your own questions too. To learn more and sign up, email Judy MacDonald (macdonaldj@stpaulcathedral.org) .

Live Organ Recital
Tonight, September 23, 5:30 pm, In Person & Online
The organ recital this afternoon will include three of the six Schübler Chorales of J.S. Bach, Les Bergers, from La Nativité du Seigneur by Olivier Messiaen, and to close the program, settings of a traditional Scottish tune (Covenanters Tune) and a hymn tune (Pisgah) from The Sacred Harp, published in 1859. Most of the tunes in The Sacred Harp are believed to be folk melodies from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, which were brought to American shores by early Baptist settlers and modified by different groups and generations. Not surprisingly, the Covenanters Tune and Pisgah bear remarkable resemblance to one another. The settings are by American composers Roberta Bitgood and Dale Wood, respectively.
