A New Opportunity for Prayer at the Cathedral of St. Philip
A Vision for a Good Faith Chapelby Dean Sam Candler
I ask you now to consider a new vision: a prayer chapel. I ask you to consider an expanded opportunity for prayer and contemplation, worship and education, invitation and mission, on our campus. It would be a new chapel, but not a chapel designed in our (now) traditional, rectangular way. It would be a rounder holy space, in octagonal form, welcoming us to common prayer that would develop our community in an expansive way.

From theSteering Committee
We love the Cathedral of St. Philip. Coming from various backgrounds and with different histories here, we have seen the Cathedral parish change over time. Some of us have watched it grow from an intimate, shingled structure with the even cozier Mikell Chapel to the magnificent Nave in place today. Others of us joined more recently, in the time since the last capital campaign in the early 2000s, and look forward to doing our part to strengthen the Cathedral further.

“The proposed chapel will have a sophisticated audio/visual abilities that will enable exciting new ways to communicate. The octagonal shape offers a new physical opportunity for worship and teaching. The clear glass oculus will let in natural light and the beauty of nature. The size is just right for occasions too large for the Mikell Chapel and too small for our Cathedral. The Good Faith Chapel is an inspired and important step forward to expand St. Philip’s outreach and relevance in our community. This is truly a transformative opportunity.”

I am impressed and energized that the role of Cathedrals remains as important today as it has been for centuries. Our Cathedral is a place where a group of individuals, called by God, provide pastoral care and support the social, personal, and spiritual needs of the people who worship here. Our Cathedral is a “house of prayer for all people.”
