The Wilderness

The Wilderness is available on Sunday evenings at 6 p.m. in the Cathedral. Imagine entering a semi-darkened Cathedral, with candles and icons all around. Some people are sitting in the pews, others on the floor, or in chairs. The simple altar is at the foot of the steps. The music echoing in this holy place is different: sometimes guitar, sometimes piano, with a blend of Taize, world music, traditional hymns, chant, and jazz. The prayers are from our Anglican tradition, but the liturgy has a contemplative, quiet, monastic feel. The sermon is sometimes conversational, sometimes a short film, or a slide show. After communion and final prayers, the community gathers for conversation at a nearby pub. During the week, those who are able meet to serve those in need.

A place of creativity. A place of refreshment. A place of transformation. A place for longtime Episcopalians and for those who haven't been to church in years. A place to find God in the challenges and uncertainties of life. A community of disciples. the Wilderness.

6 p.m., the Wilderness at the Cathedral.
