Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth ...”—Psalm 86:11

Note: Christian Formation classes will end for the 2007-08 church year on Sunday, May 11. Classes will start up again in the fall.

What is traditionally called religious education, or even Sunday School, is known as Christian Formation at the cathedral. This is not just some branding effort to be different or unique. Instead, it reflects an approach to how we believe we may best grow as Christians.

Being a Christian is not only an intellectual pursuit, but also—and deeply—a matter of the heart and spirit.

When we open ourselves up to the concept of formation, a formation directed by the hand of God, we move into our true callings as human persons.

As Canon Joanna Leiserson, the cathedral’s canon for Christian formation, says, “The act of formation becomes transformation.” And it is in that, we learn what it truly means to be Christian.
