Education
As Christians, we spend our entire lives, from baptism to death, becoming disciples of Christ and growing in faith. As Episcopalians, this process of formation is shaped, in particular, by our liturgy and life together. Therefore, so are our education programs. The Cathedral offers programs for all ages and kinds of learners. These programs are intended to equip us for ministry and to foster spiritual growth through meaningful participation in and reflection on our common prayer, community, sacred stories, and mission. Contact Canon Lauren Holder, 404-365-1036, if you have questions about adult education.

Seculosity Reprise
Dates: May 8, 15, 22
Child Hall
10:10 a.m.
Join Canons Zappa and Holder for a conversation about all the things that distract us from our faith—including church! We will revisit the David Zahl’s book Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What to Do about It. David is the guest speaker for our Parish Retreat at Kanuga! He’ll be breaking bread with us all weekend. So come join the conversation and explore with us the importance and (sometimes) difficulty of maintaining a meaningful faith life at every age and stage. And remember to register for Kanuga before May 5!
