All Souls is a eucharistically centered cathedral whose life is formed by scripture, the baptismal covenant and our engagement with the world about us.
It is a community where all are welcome, trust is present, risks are taken, and where our gifts and graces enable us to be who God knows us to be.

and Mission
a Ministry of Welcoming
Please join us in worship and for a meal at
the Church of the Advocate. Meet at 1:30 in
Trinity’s undercroft. If you would like to donate
money, food or time please contact Milly at
milly@allsoulscathedral.org.
For many newcomers, the face of the usher
at the door makes a lasting impression. We
have a wonderful team of ushers at All Souls;
however, for a number of reasons several of
our ushers have needed to retire. That means
we need more ushers, particularly for the 11:15
service.
August 25 – Sunday School
Registration
Training is easy; ushers are scheduled for one
Sunday a month and there is a system in place
for substitutes. Please consider becoming an
usher.
August 11 – Church of the Advocate
Spiritual Formation for youth and children begins with
registration at 10:10 in the Parish Hall. We invite all
parents (birth -high school) to join Milly and Micki to
discuss the many ways All Souls can partner with you in
your family’s faith formation, to register your child for
formation classes and to greet those who will mentor
your children this year!
August 25, 4-7 p.m. – Welcome Back Picnic
This year we will celebrate the end of summer together
on the All Soul’s lawn. Please bring a dish to share and
get ready for a spirited celebration: games, dunking
booth (dunk your priest!!!), music, dancing and more!
September 4 – Parish Dinner
Welcome back Parish Dinner! We will meet at 6:15 for
Burrito Bar and Piñata fun! Individuals $5; $15 max for
a family.
I want the All Souls family to know how much
I appreciate the cards, notes, prayers, hugs and
words of encouragement I received from you
at the death of my mother in June. I felt so
supported by and grounded in this faith community, and you continue to be a source of strength
for me.

This August, the All Souls
Book Group Will Read…
Virginia Woolf ’s To The Lighthouse (1927)
Meeting Times
• Monday, August 19th, 7 p.m., the C.E. Room
• Monday, August 26th, 7 p.m., the Warner Building
Book Availability
Copies of To the Lighthouse are now available at Accent
on Books, on Merrimon Avenue, at reduced cost,
thanks to parishioner Lewis Sorrells.
From the back cover:
The novel that established Virginia Woolf as a leading
writer of the twentieth century, To the Lighthouse is
made up of three powerfully charged visions into the
life of one family living in a summer house off the rocky
coast of Scotland. As time winds its way through their
lives, the Ramsays face, alone and simultaneously, the
greatest of human challenges and its greatest triumph
– the human capacity for change. A moving portrait in
miniature of family life, it also has profoundly universal
implications, giving language to the silent space that
separates people and the space they transgress to reach
each other.
There are very few exceptional and miraculous novels
that have the power to change their readers forever. To
the Lighthouse is one of them.
“Without question one of the two or three finest
novels of the twentieth century. Woolf comments on
the most pressing dramas of our human predicament:
war, mortality, family, love. If you’re like me you’ll come
back to this book often, always astounded, almost
moved, always refreshed.” – Rick Moody, author of The
Ice Storm
The All Souls Book Group is the nucleus of the
Kay Falk Literary Project, which is centered
at the Cathedral as part of its teaching mission.

The First Annual
Celebration of Creativity
Thanks to Frazier Worth and his
team of Carrie Turner, Ginger
Huebner, and Dorrie Sieburg for
conceiving and organizing this
very successful and well-attended
event, which followed the traditional Independence Day Picnic on
July 7.
We enjoyed a wondefully eclectic
lineup of music, from classical to
folk to punk, and learned from
the exhibits of painters, potters,
photographers, and other artists
lining the breezeway and courtyard what a creative bunch we
are at All Souls!

All Souls Youth
And Children’s
Choirs Begin New,
Exciting Season
The time has now come to think about activities for
the fall and joining the All Souls Children’s and Youth
Choral Program! A fun-filled year is being planned!
Choir registration and the first rehearsal will take place
September 11.
The All Souls Children’s and Youth Choral Program is
divided into two separate choral groups. The St. Nicholas
Choir is for boys and girls 5 years of age through 2nd
grade, and the St. Cecilia Choir welcomes all those in 3rd
grade through high school. The choristers sing in church
twice a month at the 9:00 service, and on occasion they
have the opportunity to sing four-part music with the
adults singing the bottom three parts!
Rehearsals every Wednesday!
• St. Nicholas Choir (5 years of age through 2nd grade)
– 4:15 to 5:00 p.m.
• St. Cecilia Choir (3rd grade and up)
– 5:15 to 6:00 p.m.
photo by Tom Whittington
Continuing this fall, choristers in both choirs will be
participating in a music education program produced
by the Royal School of Church Music called “A Voice
for Life.” This program is a fun method that promotes
an enduring understanding of liturgy and music that
the choristers will take with them into their adulthood.
Through “A Voice for Life,” the choristers will have the
opportunity to build their musical and vocal skills, sing
repertoire from a variety of periods, styles and nationalities, and become more familiar with The Book of
Common Prayer and the music of the church.
The St. Nicholas and St. Cecilia choristers are hardworking folks who have fun while they sing and explore
the rich heritage of musical styles of the Episcopal
Church. Questions? Contact Kyle at church (274-2681
or kyle@allsoulscathedral.org).
Autumn Grace
August 17
Autumn Grace is dedicated to older women who
are seeking community and spiritual deepening.
The next meeting is Saturday, August 17 from 10
a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will be led by Linda Kane.
The entire group meets initially in the Owen
Library for worship and then moves into the designated small groups at 10:30. Questions? Call Susan
Sihler (777-2209) or Babie Chromy (687-2926).

The S p i r i t u a l A u t o b i o g r a p h y sub-group,
led by Rev. Nancy Mills, is now filled and has 12
members. This is a closed group that began meeting
in January and will meet for 10 months.
The A g i n g G r ac e f u l l y sub-group shares facilitation and is open to any attendee of the Autumn
Grace group. Focus is on attitudes and qualities
that we feel will help us in growing spiritually as we
face the realities of aging. We share our own experiences, as well as books and other resources, to teach
and learn specific spiritual practices.
Josephine (Babie) Strobel Chromy will facilitate
the Aging Gracefully Group. She invites us to come
prepared to discuss the topic of MINDFULNESS
at this stage of our lives.

our stress and security points. For example, Type 2 has
wings in Types 1 and 3, and connecting lines to Types 4
and 8. The wings and connecting lines represent resource
points to which we have direct access when we need assistance navigating life.
From the Director, Robbin Whittington
I have been a serious student of the Enneagram System
of Personality for the past 13 years, and in August will
complete the teacher certification in The Enneagram
Professional Training Program (EPTP) in the Narrative
Tradition. Many people ask what that means. According
to the EPTP, “The Narrative Tradition offers a unique and
personally transformative experience of the Enneagram.
By listening to representatives of each Enneagram type
share their personal stories and reveal their particular
inner worlds and realities, we can discover how to recognize personality differences from direct experience, rather
than simply learning about the Enneagram from a particular ‘authority.’”
In addition to three six-day intensive workshops, part of
the training involves conducting at least eighteen individual Enneagram Typing interviews and two interviews
of panels comprised of at least three people with the
same Enneagram Type. The closer I get to the end of the
Internship part of the process, the greater my appreciation for the depth and power of this process. It’s not about
figuring out what Type someone is, but is instead about
helping to facilitate an exploration that takes us both closer
to the heart of who we are at our core. In the Narrative
Tradition, the ultimate purpose of typing is self-discovery
and self-development. Through sharing our stories, we
discover and honor our inner processes, and when used
in this way, the Enneagram can be a profound psychological and spiritual tool that helps us better understand
ourselves and others in our lives.
At this point, you may be asking, “What is the Enneagram?”
Here’s a brief description. The Enneagram is an ancient
map that represents a highly sophisticated and effective
system of personality development: how we think, how
we feel, and how we behave. The word Enneagram comes
from the Greek, “ennea” means nine and “gram” means
something written or drawn. The Enneagram is a ninepointed symbol that shows us nine ways of loving, nine
ways of suffering, and nine ways of transforming. With its
lines and connecting points, it is also a map of relationship
with our neighbors (wings), and the connecting points of
It’s important to keep in mind that the Enneagram is
unique in that it’s about motivation, not behavior. So,
as we consider our actions and those of others, we might
want to think about what is driving the behavior rather
than focusing on the behavior itself. It could be helpful
to ask, “I wonder what’s driving that behavior?” We can
never truly know another’s motivations, so it’s important
to remain as receptive, curious, and compassionate as
possible, especially when we are in a situation that causes
us to react rather than to respond.
There are many excellent books and websites on the
Enneagram Personality System. Following are a few of
my favorites, which can be found or ordered through our
local bookseller, Accent on Books.
• Essential Enneagram: The Def initive Personality
Test and Self-Discovery Guide by David Daniels and
Virginia Price
• The Enneagram: Understanding Yourself and the
Others In Your Life by Helen Palmer

Way Home by Sandra Maitri

Living it Out
Our youth minister Milly Morrow, parishioner Jeff
Benninghofen, and EYC members Miranda Norlin and
Anne Worth, joined a larger group from Holy Spirit Mars
Hill on a pilgrimage to Cuba. —by Tahani Sticpewich
Pilgrimage to Cuba
Danos un corazón, grande para amar. Danos un
corazón, fuerte para luchar.
Give us a heart, large enough for love. Give us a
heart, strong enough for the struggle.
—from the group’s theme song, Juan Antonio
Espinosa’s “Danos un Corazón”
On July 10th, the 20 members of the pilgrimage to Cuba
returned home exhausted, laden with photos and souvenirs, and with hearts greatly enlarged by their experience.
The trip was a pilgrimage rather than a mission. There was
no agenda or project – no building or fixing or painting
or working in soup kitchens. From the beginning, the
group held before them Joseph Campbell’s definition of a
pilgrimage: “A journey to a Holy Place in order to return
transformed and bring wisdom and healing to those back
home.”
The group was shepherded by Mark Siler, a prison chaplain in Asheville and member of the Circle of Mercy
congregation. Mark’s connection with Cuban churches
goes back many years, and in 2010 he and his family spent
a year in Cuba. He introduced our group to their hosts,
the Rev. Tulia Sánchez Ortiga and her congregation at
Fieles a Jesús in Matanzas.
 The pilgrims’ warm welcome to Faithful to Jesus
Anne and Yisel 
The pilgrims spent a week in Matanzas. They lived in
dorm-style accommodations at the Kairos Christian
Center for the Arts and Liturgy. Breakfast was at 8:30, but
the group was up and engaged long before then – running,
doing yoga on the beach, going for walks, doing centering
prayer in the sanctuary, or sitting on the doorstep and
watching the life of the street. After breakfast they would
walk together to the Church of the Faithful to Jesus where
they had Morning Prayer with their hosts before spending
a couple of hours with the children and adults, dancing,
playing “Mango, Mango, Papaya,” braiding hair, making
bracelets, playing baseball, and talking.
After lunch the group spent their afternoons on various
excursions with people from the Cuban congregation.
They visited the lovely beach at Varaderos, the Bellamar
Caves, and the ecumenical seminary overlooking
Matanzas. On a few afternoons they also had free time
to explore the town together. And every day ended with
Evening Prayer together back at the Kairos Center.
The warmth with which they were welcomed continues
to be a source of wonder and inspiration to the travelers.
Workers took the week off; in a country where monthly
salaries are $20-$30, they spent a large proportion of this
to supply snacks to their visitors. As one of the pilgrims
said to their hosts on parting, “I want to follow your
example of warmth and passion towards all the people
that God places in my life.”
Each pilgrim’s experience, of course, was somewhat
different. Anne, who took AP Spanish last year at
Asheville High, was the most fluent Spanish-speaker
of the four from All Souls. She was much in demand as
translator and enjoyed being able to communicate “more
deeply,” especially with Yisel, a teenage girl at Faithful to
Jesus to whom she became close.

Living it Out (continued from previous page)
Miranda had learned just a little Spanish before the trip,
but was able to get along with much determination and
some help from her knowledge of French. Her diary is
scattered with little notes and drawings as she learned
new words: caracol for “snail” and babosa for “slug.” She
spent most of her time playing with the children, especially Tulia’s daughter Susana. She has exchanged several
emails with Tulia and her family since returning.
Jeff “decided to create a true spiritual and personal
intention to allow this to be a life-changing
event.” His mantra for the trip, and one which he
hopes to keep before him: “Drop your shoulders;
lower your voice; open your hands and your heart.”
Susana and Miranda 
He speaks Spanish quite well and on one extended walk
got into conversation with a friendly butcher about
American music; they shared their appreciation of KC
and the Sunshine Band. On another walk, he joined in
with a few teenagers throwing a baseball.
Milly found meeting the women in the Cuban church
to be a powerful experience. “Because during the Cuban
revolution you were not allowed to be a member of a
church and work for the government – and all jobs were
through the government – the men dropped out. But
many women kept coming, and from that group has
emerged some wonderful female leaders.” One of these
is Bishop Griselda Delgado del Carpio, whom the group
met in Havana.
On the Fourth of July the pilgrims arrived at the church
in the morning to the strains of “Born in the USA.” “The
Cubans and Americans lined up on either side of the
breezeway and sang their national anthems to each other,”
said Milly. “It was quite moving.”
 Jeff showing some boys how to paint baseball bats.
The bishop of Cuba and Milly 
“Although the people are poor, they’re all poor,” said
Anne. “We didn’t see either very rich people or homeless
ones.” The streets are full of potholes, and the buildings
are often crumbling. “They don’t have the money to keep
up facades,” said Jeff. But he felt a hospitality and sense
of community that contrasted to the United States. “We
live in the land of plenty and never have enough,” he said.
“They never have enough but are always plentiful.”
The four look forward to continuing a relationship with
Rev. Tulia and Faithful to Jesus. There are projects with
which we can help them – for instance Faithful to Jesus
would like to open a community center like the Kairos
Center at the Baptist church. And the Diocese of Cuba
has plans for a children’s camp. “I hope we can honor our
deep connection with the people of Faithful to Jesus while
getting our hands dirty helping where we are needed,”
said Jeff.
“When I think about our trip and Faithful to Jesus,” said
Milly, “I think about what we as a community can learn
from them, and how to be with in fellowship with them
spiritually.”
Please join the four All Souls pilgrims on August 11th at
10:10 in the Parish Hall to hear more and see photos from
the trip.

What I Did on my Summer ‘Vacation’
From the Rev. Canon Rosa Lee Harden
One of the exciting things about being Canon for Money
and Meaning at All Souls is that I get to be involved in
quite a few very innovative and creative things. Much
of that happens in the summer and is why you don’t see
quite so much of me when the sun is shining. (But wait,
the sun hasn’t been shining very much in Asheville this
summer, has it!? But I do digress!)
My highest priority every summer is producing the
Social Capital Markets conference in San Francisco
the first week in September. This year we are expecting
more than 1,800 people from around the world and are
hosting a special faith cohort with about 50 clergy and
lay leaders from around the country coming to find out
more about ‘money and meaning’ and ways they can
be more prophetic in leadership in their congregations
about this topic.
Several people from All Souls are planning to attend
and will be talking more about this event in things we
are planning for this coming
church year.
Additionally,
I’ve
been
working with my friend
Mark Scandrette to present a
session on ‘money and meaning’ at the upcoming Wild
Goose Festival in Hot Springs, August 8-11. I was
privileged last week to be at the book launch for Mark’s
new book, FREE: Spending Your Time and Money on
What Matters Most. It’s a book that I am hoping that
some of us can study together this year. Mark and his
wife, Lisa, are true inspirations. A more formal launch
event for his book is planned at Wild Goose.
I’ve also been working on planning the Wild Goose
Festival itself, and hope many of you will be able to
come. Another piece of what will be presented there
has been a part of another project I’ve been involved
in here in Asheville which is Wake Divinity School’s

program on the Spirituality of Food, Field and Table. I
helped Fred Bahnson, who leads the program, connect
with our own Mallory McDuff and Warren Wilson
College to present a week-long event by that same
name.
More than 20 folks came from around the country to
study with Fred, Mallory and others at Warren Wilson,
and I was privileged to be there for a piece of it. Some
by Mallory McDuff
When do Christians gather together to build garden
beds, read Scripture, sing the Psalms, forage for wild
edibles, and share a meal with folks who have homes
and those who live on the streets?
This summer, an ecumenical group from
across the country gathered for four
days at Warren Wilson College to
explore connections between
food and faith in a program
called “The Spirituality of
Food, Field, and Table:
A Retreat on the Art
of Homecoming.” This
immersion
program
centered on the primary
question: How can we live at
home in the world in a way that
sustains God’s creation?
Organized by the Food, Faith
and Religious Leadership
Initiative at Wake Forest
Divinity
School, the
program followed the
monastic patterns of prayer,
work, and study, with handson work in the garden and community in the morning followed by lectures and discussion in the afternoons.
Traveling from as close as Swannanoa and as far
as Seattle, some of the participants came from
churches that wanted to begin community gardens.
Others aimed to connect sustainable agriculture to
their work in divinity schools, non-profits, and even
prisons.
of them will be presenting pieces of the material taught
at Wild Goose and I highly commend that work to
you! Fred will also be launching his latest book, Soil and
Sacrament, at Wild Goose. I’m really looking forward
to sharing that book with many of you as well.
And to learn more about what happened at WWC and
how you might be a part of this in the future, Mallory
wrote the following piece about that special week in
June.
The field experiences included a trip to The Lord’s
Acre in Fairview, where director Susan Sides
explored the logistics of beginning a community garden, as well as a visit to Haywood Street
Congregation (at the corner of Haywood Street and
Patton Ave. in downtown Asheville), which hosts
a weekly meal and service for a standing-room
only crowd.
The lectures and discussion
featured analysis of garden
spirituality in the New
Testament by Dr. Gail
O’Day, the Dean of the
Wake Forest Divinity
School; explorations of
permaculture and sustainable agriculture by Dr.
Laura Lengnick; and stories
and strategies for integrating food
into Christian ministries by
Dr. Mallory McDuff.
One highlight of the week
included singing the Psalms
at morning Lauds and
evening Vespers with
musician-in-residence
Charles Pettee. As writer
and conference organizer Fred
Bahnson says, “It is by God’s breath and God’s
breath alone that we are nourished. In as much
as we participate in the growing of food and the
sharing of it around the table, we learn this simple
and profound truth.” May we all say, Amen.

Are you Interested in a
Computer
Workshop?
Several people have asked if there
would be another series of Google basics
computer classes in the Fall. If you would be
interested in attending a series of classes twice a
week for three weeks in September or October,
please call Lorna Dorr at 274-3231 or email her
at lbdorr@gmail.com for more details. Classes
would focus on using the Chrome browser and
the Google suite of programs, including email,
documents, internet searching, and possibly
calendar and picasaweb (photos). Please indicate
whether you have attended one of the previous
workshops or if this would be your first.
A second area of interest expressed by several
people, is family history and genealogy research.
If you would be interested in a series of classes
covering free online sources for recording and
researching family history, please let Lorna Dorr
know that as well.

Room In
The Inn
Returns!
August 11-17
After an absence, All Souls gets to host the Room In
The Inn program for the second time this year. This
program for women who are working themselves back
into housing has been an integral part of Homeward
Bound's exciting success restoring people into independent housing.
On Sunday evening, August 11th, we will welcome
up to 12 women to Zabriskie Hall for dinner and for
a safe night's lodging. After an early breakfast the next
morning, the ladies return to the AHope day shelter
downtown with a bag lunch prepared by All Souls
volunteers. A sign-up sheet will soon be available in
front of the church each Sunday, and in the church
office during the weeks prior to our hosting.
Volunteers are needed to help prepare meals, the bag
lunches for each day, and for overnighting (two people
per night). Each hosting generally requires 60+ parishioners to play a role to make the week successful. Call
Susan or Mike Stevenson at 254-5227 for more information, or email them at KNLSTV@gmail.com.
Have you ever wondered what
happens AFTER Room In The Inn?
Once our guests are placed in permanent supportive
housing how do their lives change? What do they do
each day? How difficult is it when they don’t have Room
In The Inn to “come home” to each day?
Now is your chance to find out!
Join us for a reunion with some of the prior Room In
The Inn women who are now living life as “housed”
individuals. Hear their new stories. Support their
successes! Whether you realize it or not you have influenced their here and now!
• Thursday, August 15, 6:00 p.m.
• Congregation Beth HaTephila, 43 North Liberty St.
RSVP by August 12, 2013 to Sharon at 776-9741 or
riti@homewardboundwnc.org.

Advocacy
for Children
Below is a list of Children First/CIS advocacy
campaigns and links to key partners and other
resources. We choose our campaigns based on our
Values, Principles, and Policy Directions (read these
at tinyurl.com/cf-values). Join us in making your
voice count for kids.
 Promoting investments in early
childhood education and care
Our children need access to affordable, high-quality
experiences in the first 2,000 days. There are about
2,000 days between birth and kindergarten for
North Carolina children. During this time their
emotional, social, and cognitive skills develop at a
pace not repeated in life. Visit the First 2,000 Days
website and learn why we advocate for these important investments.
first2000days.org
 Promoting smart budget reforms
so NC can invest in our children’s
education, health, and safety
In the recent Great Recession, our state legislators
faced repeated budget shortfalls and made decisions to make deep cuts in important investments
like public schools, early education, colleges, health
care, and public safety, to name a few. To build a
prosperous North Carolina, we need to raise the
necessary dollars to invest in our children. We’ve
joined Together NC in this advocacy effort.
togethernc.org
 Raising the age of adult
sentencing to age 18
14
North Carolina is only one of two states that sends
16-year-olds to the adult criminal system regardless
of accusation or offense. Over 90 percent of 16- and
17-year-old offenders commit nonviolent crimes,
yet their criminal record raises a barrier for future
employment and education opportunities. We work
with the Raise the Age Campaign to change this
law.
raisetheagenc.com
 Expanding living wage jobs for
county contractors
Full-time employment should be enough to support
a family without relying on public assistance.
Unfortunately, low wage and minimum wage jobs
do not pay enough to lift a family out of poverty. We
partner with Just Economics to promote a living
wage policy for city and county employees and
contract employees.

Cathedral Connection
From the Rev. Canon
Thomas Murphy
“I went to the woods because I wished to live
deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life,
and see if I could not learn what it had to teach,
and not, when I came to die, discover that I had
not lived.”
Henry David Thoreau penned these now famous words
in 1854 during his time living on Walden Pond, bereft
of the conveniences of his time. This past month I spent
about a week and a half at the Camp Henry Outdoor
School living somewhat un-deliberately. When backpacking there is no other choice than to let the natural
course of events dictate your actions. When it rains decisions follow that set the agenda for the day. If it is going
to rain itself is an unknown. The patterns of life flow
out of the mystery each day presents, and there is a real
freedom to not knowing. Sure, you can plan, predict, and
use previous experiences to try and imagine the future,
but ultimately a person must live fully in the present.
On the third day of the backpacking trip, the group decided
to split up and let each person hike alone for an hour.
The sun was shining as I was walking along. Suddenly, I
noticed that all the birds that had been singing and flitting in and out of the bushes along the trail were silent. A
dark cloud boiled over the ridge behind me and a cold rain
streaked down. I was almost instantly soaked. My spirits
sagged, as I heard a voice behind me. One of the other
group members was running down the trail, laughing and
singing. Between us a large puddle had formed. She took a
giant leap and splashed down right in the middle, sending
muddy water over both of
us. “This is so much fun,”
she gasped. “Come on!” We
ran down the rest of the
trail, splashing in puddles
with the reckless wonder of a toddler. The afternoon was
transformed.
I was reflecting on this experience after I had re-entered
civilization. While I was away, calamities had occurred,
lives ended, doomsayers were still predicting doom. It
was overwhelming. Then I remembered a part of the
poem “The Summer Day” by Mary Oliver.
I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the
fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
Technology has given us a tremendous ability to feel as
though we are in control. Using the computer on which
I am writing this article I can check if it is going to rain
later today. I can see how the markets fared in Tokyo. I
can even use Google to look at the roof of my own house.
I can be deliberate, planning, scheduling, and parsing
out my time into hour blocks of
efficiency. But isn’t some of this
control just an illusion?
Jocelyn and Jayhawk Reese set up a “memory fence” at the July 7 picnic. People could
hang a shell in remembrance of someone who had died. (photos by Tom Whittington) 
I believe this. There is no
certainty for mortals, only
probability. No matter how
deliberate we are, we are not in
control. My time in the woods
reminded me: clouds are forever
on the horizon. Yet we have been
given the gift of right now by our
creator. What is your answer
to Mary Oliver’s question?
The same question I think our
creator will demand in the end.
What did you do with your life?

Notes from the Atrium
from Micki Hill, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd & Children’s Formation
Sunday School Begins Again!
August is here and
another Sunday school
year is right around the
corner. It is our hope that these last days of summer
will be a joyful time of memory making with family
and friends, and that each day will serve to strengthen
bonds, renew hope and refresh your body and soul.
We are excited to begin another year of Sunday school
at the Cathedral and we want to thank you in advance
for letting us be a part of your family’s faith formation. Christian Formation doesn’t happen in a week,
a month or a year… it’s a lifelong process of learning
and growing in faith. It is in shared experiences that
our children find out what is important to us. In the
most normal of moments we can explore the world with
wonder, cultivate gratitude, introduce our children to
family prayer, and show them through our actions that
love can heal a broken world.
Thank you for making Sunday morning a priority and
allowing us to nurture those seeds of faith, hope, and a
love for community that have been planted at home. We
are called to prepare our children to live with courage
and compassion so they might bring the good news
of Jesus into every human situation. It is our privilege
to build upon the foundation that you have laid and
our joy to work with you to help them live a life that
brightens the world with God’s love!
We welcome your interest and participation in
Formation opportunities and appreciate hearing from
parents regarding their child’s religious education. If
you have any questions, concerns, ideas or are interested
in giving your time and talent to our Sunday morning
ministry, please, contact me. We are looking forward to
an exciting year filled with fun, fellowship, learning and
a deepening love for God and one another.
In joy!
Micki

Cathedral Connection
Notes from the
Field of Youth
Ministry
Cuba
In his book Gracias, Henri
Nouwen states, “Though Pilgrimages are good for
the spirit, if you can’t find Jesus in your hometown,
you probably won’t find him in Bolivia.” That’s the
kind of statement that makes me stand up and clap.
Yes, if you don’t see Jesus in your neighbor, good
luck seeing Him anywhere. And yet, as Henri states,
pilgrimages are good for the spirit precisely because
when we return we are faced with the stark reality
that Jesus was here the whole time, that the blessings
we perceived in the “other” are actually within us.
As I make my way back into daily life here in Asheville,
the meaning of what I experienced in Cuba is often
hard to grasp. It was more than meaningful – it was
transformative. And yet, I can’t quite articulate how
or why. What I can say is that I sensed a familiarity
there, in the people and the church, that seemed
to annihilate my loneliness. The world shrunk but
the Church got bigger. The miles and differences
between “me” and “them” blurred, but the Mission of
God became dramatically clear. The Mission of God
became clear to me in the way we were received by
our host church. The Mission of God became clear
in the way hospitality was offered with no agenda and
no expectations. The Mission became clear through
the shared language of a greeting kiss or hug and of
deep laughter. The Mission of God became clear
through connection, through relationship.
I hug here, I laugh here, I have relationships here…
I did not have to go to Cuba to see Jesus. I just had
to go to feel Him again, to wake up to Him again.
Pilgrimages are good for the spirit because we return
able to respond to Jesus in our neighbor again. I am
grateful to have gone and grateful to have returned.
I look forward to talking with you about this trip
and how we can remain in relationship with our
neighbors there in Cuba. Please join us at 10:10 in
the Parish Hall on August 11th to hear from the All
Souls pilgrims and to begin our vision process about
how we will remain connected to the Mission of God
all around us.
As always, feel free to call or email me
