An Invitation: Walk in Love
On Sunday, October 1st we will begin a parish-wide book study to read and discuss Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs & Practices by Episcopal priests Scott Gunn and Melody Wilson Strobe. I would like to extend an invitation to the entire Cathedral community to participate in reading this wonderful book together over the next six weeks. (*This class will also serve as the required course for those being confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church at the Great Vigil of Easter in March, 2024.)
Walk in Love offers an important perspective on what it means to be a Christian in our Anglican/Episcopal tradition. I have read this book with other groups and congregations several times before, and readers always come away seeing and understanding the Episcopal Church in new and exciting ways. It is perfect for inquirers and newcomers to the Episcopal Church, and it is also a wonderful "refresher course" for those who have been in the Church for years and for anyone else in between. Even for life-long Episcopalians, you will learn things you never knew before, I can promise you that! (Even if you can't join us on Sundays in person, I invite you to read along at home.)
Walk in Love gives us a broad "view from 25,000 feet" of the Episcopal Church, with topics including the liturgical calendar, the sacraments of the Church, daily prayer and the Daily Office, worldwide Anglicanism, and Anglican theology, The Reverend Canon Stephanie Spellers, Canon to the Presiding Bishop for Evangelism, Reconciliation, and Creation Care, says this about Walk in Love - "Read it if you want to learn the relationship between our prayer, our belief, and our daily life. Read it to get re-rooted in the unique Anglican approach to the Way of Jesus. Just read it."
So join us beginning on Sunday, October 1st at 11:15 (in English) and at 1:30 (in Spanish) in the All Saints Chapel! (Books are available for purchase on Amazon for $22.)
Many blessings,
Father Jason
The Very Reverend Jason Roberson

"Pews to Chairs" Project
For many decades now, pews have been replaced by chairs in countless cathedrals and churches across the Episcopal Church and the world with remarkable success. In many cases, it has allowed congregations to experience a transformation and rebirth of their communities. Stackable, multi-use chairs will give Trinity a fully flexible and multi-purpose space that functions not only for worship, but for a variety of ministry and community events. (See the above picture of Chester Cathedral, UK.)
The success of Transforming Trinity and the Pews to Chairs project depends on the donation of chairs by cathedral parishioners, congregations, and individuals across The Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida and the wider Church. Chairs may be donated in honor of / in memory of a loved one or in honor of a specific church, congregation, or organization. Please consider donating one or more chairs!
To donate: Please download the chair donation form HERE, complete it, and make your check payable to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Please make sure to write “Pews to Chairs” in the memo line. Mail checks and forms to: Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 464 NE 16th Street, Miami, FL 33132.
Online donations can also be made on the Cathedral website (www.trinitymiami.org) under the “Giving” tab – please be sure to choose the “Pews to Chairs Campaign” on the dropdown menu to designate your donation.
Please reach out to Father Jason by email at frjason@trinitymiami.org if you have any questions or concerns. You can also find more details about the Pews to Chairs project HERE.

O God, the strength of the weak and the comfort of sufferers: Mercifully accept our prayers, and grant to your servant Michael the help of your power, that his sickness may be turned into health, and our sorrow into joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
