Psalm 116:11

TO BE A PILGRIM

By Dr. Dale Adelmann Canon for Music

It will be no news to many of you that I view life as pilgrimage. I believe our trek toward maturity, in life or faith (or music-making!), should be dynamic, not static; and in each season of our journey, the plane of awareness and understanding in which we find ourselves at the end should probably not be the same place that we started. For many of us, the Cathedral of St. Philip plays an important role in our pilgrimage. We come together week by week to study, to listen, to contemplate, to pray, and to find inspiration for our journeys, and—if we are engaging responsibly as members of the “Body of Christ” in this place—we encourage one another in those moments, leaving inspired and strengthened for our respective paths.

Intentional acts of pilgrimage are very much on my mind this summer. The Cathedral Choir will undertake a pilgrimage to England where we will enter into the centuries-old tradition of offering the daily round of praises to God in two of England’s most significant, historic cathedrals – Salisbury (July 24–30) and Durham (July 31–August 6). Any encounter with glorious architecture and art can be a deeply moving experience, of course, but singing as “choir-in-residence” is a quite different experience from merely visiting one of these magnificent buildings as a tourist, or even giving a concert there. Singing fifteen worship services in two weeks brings a deepened sense that we are part of a continuum of priests and musicians who, since pre-Christian times in the Temple, have taken time each day and honed their God-given gifts to “praise God with all their skill” (Psalm 47:7). In Durham our singing will bounce off stones that have resounded with the praises of God for more than 900 years.

Following the Choir’s pilgrimage, I will embark on a personal pilgrimage, on sabbatical. Among my plans is to walk the last 300 kilometers of the ancient pilgrim route across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. This will be an utterly new experience for me, and I look forward to discovering whatever insights such a journey might offer.

Whether or not we travel or set aside time for the intentional purpose of making pilgrimage, however, I believe every day can be one. It has more to do with intent than activity. Do we actually expect to experience God every day? Do we anticipate and actively look for some revelation of the Divine each time we come to worship? Do we consciously “seek and serve Christ in all persons”— as we promise each time we renew our Baptismal covenant—when we interact with strangers or friends day by day, no matter how routine or mundane that interaction is? I am keenly aware of how far short I fall in maintaining this approach to life. Thankfully “I will, with God’s help” is an ongoing, renewable promise, and God is a God of second chances… even “seventy times seven” chances (Matthew 18:22).

The Choir and I are deeply grateful for the generous support of friends and parishioners who have helped make our pilgrimage possible. What we ask for now is your prayers: for safety during our travels, for good health, and that we—and all who hear—may catch a glimpse of heaven as we “sing and make music to the Lord.”

LABYRINTH AND TAIZÉ CELEBRATING THE SOLSTICEGet your week off to a peaceful start with a labyrinth walk and Taizé on Monday, June 19. A labyrinth introduction will take place at 6:30 p.m., followed by a facilitated walk from 7–8 p.m. Look for us on the outdoor labyrinth, weather permitting, as we celebrate the coming of the longest day of the year. If the weather is bad, we’ll be in Child Hall. The Taizé prayer service starts at 8 p.m. in Mikell Chapel.

Originating in Taizé, France, this simple service of scripture, music, and candlelight will bring a beautiful and prayerful close to your Monday. The labyrinth and Taizé take place the third Monday of each month at the Cathedral. Come to one, or both – and bring a friend! Newcomers are always welcome!

The Cathedral is a “house of prayer for all people”—it’s true—it says so at the main entrance! If you look at the prayer list in the Times or the Sunday service leaflet, you will notice that Cathedral members are more likely to ask for prayers for friends than for themselves! Well, please don’t be shy because there are lots of ways we pray for those in need.

There is a “Chapel Prayer List” that is used in Mikell Chapel for morning and evening prayers, and in St. Mary’s Chapel for the Friday Healing Eucharist at 12:15 p.m. While the chapel prayer list is not private, it is not seen by as many people as is the Sunday prayer list.

“The Sunday Prayer List” in the service leaflets is virtually the same as the prayer list in the Times, except for the changes necessitated by different print deadlines.

Finally, we also have a “Private Prayer List” that is seen only by clergy and staff at our Pastoral Care meetings. Some people are very private, or just can’t handle a deluge of phone calls and questions during a difficult time.

Please don’t hesitate to contact someone in the pastoral care department so we can add your name or the name of a loved one (Please note: you must have permission to place someone’s name on any of our “public” prayer lists!).

The pastoral care department is led by the Rev. Wallace Marsh, canon for pastoral care. The Rev. Carolynne Williams continues to serve pastorally, as does our deacon, the Rev. Juan Sandoval. I am the administrative support for pastoral care programming, and am probably the easiest to reach by phone! So feel free to call me with questions and requests at 404-365-1034.
