New Arrival at the Cathedral
On March 30 a new sacred piece of diocesan furniture made its way over from Echo Park to West Adams Boulevard. Canon for Common Life, Bob Williams, is proudly pictured here next to the 'Dean's Chair' handcrafted in 1924 for the former diocesan cathedral, St. Paul's. Canon Bob has been advocating tirelessly for the chair to return to use at the cathedral. St. Paul's was closed in 1980 after it was determined that earthquake damage was too expensive to be repaired. The chair has been located at Diocesan House, then the Cathedral Center of St. Paul (today St. Paul's Commons) from 1994 to 2026. The chair was created to match the bishop's cathedra which is also pictured and was moved to St. John's in 2019. The chair displays the names of previous deans and provosts who have served the diocese since 1901. Later this spring, the listing will be updated to include the cathedral's most recent deans since 2008.
