From time to time, Dean James Diamond invites members to join him in a discussion of important issues that affect us all.

We have had several forums on the Episcopal Church's relationship with the rest of the Anglican Communion. Cathedral members, like others across the Episcopal Church, are divided on whether we should stay within the communion or depart because of irreconcilable differences.

The sessions are not only provocative but also comforting. We strengthen our connections to each other as we wrestle together with issues that have no easy answers.

The forums convene at 9 a.m. on Sundays, so those who attend both the 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. services can easily participate. Newcomers and visitors are welcome to join us.

Note: The forums are over for the current church year (2007-08) and will re-begin in the fall of 2008.
