Second Hand Religion

Dean Katz will introduce the idea of Second-Hand Religion and its connection to the notion of sainthood in the Anglican tradition. Over the coming weeks, Dean Katz and other members of the Cathedral community will introduce their spiritual ancestors who we celebrate as saints, whether living or dead.

None of us come to our faith alone. While we may have solitary moments of revelation and epiphany, the faith that we claim has been made possible by the actions, teachings and influence of others.

This fall our Cathedral embarks on a new chapter of life and ministry with the arrival of a new Dean. It is a perfect moment for us as a community to reflect on, and give thanks for those individuals from whom we have inherited our faith. In doing so, we will come to a deeper appreciation of our spiritual roots – as individuals and as a community.

Dean Katz will begin our journey by introducing the idea of Second Hand Religion and its connection to the notion of sainthood in the Anglican tradition. Over the following weeks Dean Katz and other members of the Cathedral community will introduce their spiritual ancestors who we celebrate as saints, whether living or dead.

This series will be an opportunity for us to deepen our bonds with one another as we deepen our appreciation for those whose lives and example has made possible the life in faith that unites us as the people of Christ Church Cathedral.
