Since September 2000, almost exactly a year before 9/11, Muslims have gathered here for Ju’mah, their weekly Friday prayers. The week of the attacks I joined them for their prayers to make absolutely clear how welcome they continued to be.  People seeking a blend of ancient church traditions with urban grooves join us every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. for The Crossing, our emerging church worship community. The vibrant Episcopal Chinese Boston Ministry welcomes a growing community from Chinatown and beyond for fellowship and worship every week, while virtually at the same time common cathedral, a worship service held out doors to connect with homeless neighbors happens on the Boston Common across from our building, or on our porch when it rains or snows.  And every single Sunday, you will find honest and engaging preaching that challenges hearts and minds, along with music that elevates the soul. This is an Episcopal cathedral?

We’ve been offering lunch to hungry and homeless people every Monday for over 26 years, while we welcome the same poor neighbors as active members and leaders. Since 1929 we’ve hosted "Sunday Morning at St. Paul’s," America’s longest continuously broadcast religious radio program. (7:30 a.m. on WCRB, 99.5) Our Lenten program for many years has featured inspirational black preachers from every corner of Boston and beyond. This is an Episcopal cathedral?

We believe faith formation is a lifetime event, beginning at infancy and extending through every stage of our lives, and that intentional practice makes us a better community and better Christians. We believe God does in fact love the world so much that God sent Jesus, and we try to welcome everyone to the feast as Jesus did.

This is an Episcopal Cathedral, your Episcopal cathedral. Please join us to worship and serve God. I think it could change your life. I know your presence and gifts will change ours.

In faith,
