THANK YOU, WALLACE MARSH!

Below is a dear letter from one of the best priests in the Episcopal Church, the Reverend Canon Wallace Marsh. The letter speaks for itself. I deeply understand and accept Wallace’s decision, with great thanks for his ongoing ministry and service with us; but I will not look forward to trying to find another priest of his skill and caliber. He is one of the best. I do look forward to celebrating his and Margaret Ann’s time with us in the next two months! They are worth celebrating!

Dear Cathedral of St. Philip:

It is with mixed emotions I submit my resignation effective June 1.

I came to the Cathedral because it is an amazing parish, with a wonderful staff, and a dean who strives to create a strong community. The Cathedral has been a place of growth for me, both professionally and spiritually. The clergy and staff have become dear friends and wise mentors. Accepting the call to this parish is easily one of the best decisions of my life.

Recently, Margaret Ann was presented with a call of her own. Flowers Foods asked her to take on additional responsibilities as Vice President for Environmental and Sustainability. After much consideration, we have decided to move to Thomasville, Georgia, where she will be able to work more closely with the corporate team.

Another benefit of this transition is that our new home in Thomasville will be within walking distance from grandparents, and our children will be surrounded by a multitude of cousins. Though many of you have embraced us as family, with the gift of children, we have felt a call to be closer to family.

Finally, I am going to use this transition to explore a call I have been discerning for many years. I began ministry serving as a college chaplain (2001-2004) and have felt a calling to return to a school setting at some point in my career. I am thrilled to have been offered a position at Brookwood School teaching English, World History, and, eventually, Bible as Literature. I will also be an assistant football coach and head tennis coach. After a little sabbatical, I will find a way to serve in parishes on Sunday mornings.

It has been a great gift and honor to serve this parish, and leaving this community will be difficult. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Dean Candler calling me to be a part of this wonderful staff. This parish has blessed our lives in so many ways!

As we make this transition, I ask that you keep my family in your prayers, and know that the Cathedral will always have a special place in our hearts.

Faithfully,

The Reverend C. Wallace Marsh IV Canon for Pastoral Care and Worship

BRING JEWELRY DONATIONS THIS SUNDAY, APRIL 15

St. Veronica’s Guild is collecting vintage, estate, and contemporary costume jewelry for a glitzy and glamorous sale in September. Bring your donations to church on Sunday, April 15, when guild members will be in the Atrium to collect items. This is an opportunity to clean out your own jewelry box as well as pass along any old pieces from your grandmothers, mothers, and aunts. Even damaged pieces, single earrings, and broken items of sterling or gold will be used. While the sale will not take place until September, we need your donations now. Guild members are preparing for the sale by collecting, cleaning, repairing, and pricing jewelry in the coming weeks.

The jewelry sale will benefit Good Samaritan Health Center Friday Clinic, dedicated to helping people in the homeless community achieve well-being and stability. The sale also benefits St. Veronica’s ongoing projects of donating personal care items to four ministries: Church of the Common Ground, Crossroads Community Ministries, Emmaus House, and Church of the Holy Comforter.

Jewelry donations can also be dropped off at the Information Desk, given to a guild member, or picked up by contacting mary.rankin2652@gmail.com, patticparker@gmail.com, or barbarafrolik@gmail.com.

THE CHOIR BOYS OF ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL

LONDON, ENGLAND

april 14, 7:30 p.m.

MUSIC

Presented by the Moore-Wilkerson Fund of the Cathedral of St. Philip, Friends of Cathedral Music, and the British Consulate-General Atlanta

Join us for a delightful evening of musical gems for boys’ voices by Britten and Poulenc, to name but two of the great composers whose music will be presented on this concert. The Choir of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, is one of the most renowned choirs of men and boys in the world. Known worldwide from its many recordings and, throughout modern history, its participation in services on national occasions, most recently HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee (2012) and the funeral of Baroness Thatcher (2013), the choir’s main responsibility is to sing the daily choral services of St. Paul’s Cathedral, for which it maintains one of the largest active choral repertoires of any choir, anywhere.

Enjoy a weekend full of spirituality and fellowship with other Cathedral parishioners and clergy. Kanuga is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and experience God with the beloved community.

The weekend includes old favorites such as s'mores, hiking, rocking on the porch, ice cream, bluegrass and, of course, the famous Kanuga toast. We will offer an adult program on Saturday morning and enjoy worshiping together in the informal chapel on Sunday. Meals are served family-style in the lodge and accommodations are available in historic cottages or the hotel-style inn.

Cathedral BOOK STOREFREE LECTURE ON PHYLLIS TICKLE IN MAY

Before Phyllis Tickle died at 81 in September 2015, she named Jon M. Sweeney her official biographer. Sweeney is coming to the Cathedral Book Store to give a lecture on the life and career of this extraordinary woman. He will discuss her written work over fifty years (poetry, plays, literary, spiritual, historical, and theological), her marriage and family, and life on the Farm in Lucy, the subject of much of her oeuvre. Then there's Tickle’s work as an academic and book publisher in Tennessee; her impact as the founding editor in religion at Publishers Weekly during the boom of spiritual writing and interfaith understanding in the 1990s; relationships with Gwendolyn Brooks, John Shelby Spong, Marcus Borg, Brian McLaren, and Desmond Tutu; and the impact she had on the communities where all of her writing, scholarship, and advocacy has seen the greatest impact: the hundreds of thousands who took on fixed-hour prayer due to her “The Divine Hours” series; the Episcopal Church USA writ large; LGBTQ Christians awaiting full acceptance; and Emergence Christianity, for which she served as historian, forecaster, and champion.

If you would like to join us for the free lecture and book signing on Thursday, May 3 at 7 p.m. at the Cathedral, please reserve your seat on the events page at cathedralbookstore.org or by stopping by the store. This lecture is made possible by the generous support of our Book Fellows program.
