New Distribution Policy for The Circular

Due to increasing postal costs and current fiscal restraints, a new policy has been implemented for the distribution of the St. Paul’s Circular. For those who have requested electronic copies, distribution will remain the same.

For those who have received hard copies in the past, hard copies will continue to be available for pickup for a two week period after publication. If they are not picked up in that time, they will be emailed if possible. Please let us know your email address if we do not already have it.

Hard copies of each issue will continue to be available in the hall foyer and near the Cathedral Office. Each issue will also continue to be posted on our blog site, with a link to it on our Facebook page.

February Faith Lecture - This Sunday!

February Faith Lecture St. Paul's Cathedral

Sunday February 23, 2014

7:00 pm.

Lady Wisdom: the Feminine Face of the Divine

Lecturer: Dr. Patricia Dutcher-Walls

Does not wisdom call,

and does not understanding raise her voice?

“To you, O people, I call,

Hear, for I will speak noble things,

and from my lips will come what is right.

Take my instruction instead of silver,

and knowledge rather than choice gold;

for wisdom is better than jewels.

I love those who love me,

and those who seek me diligently find me.”

Proverbs 8

The wisdom traditions of ancient Israel contain a sustained and repeated representation of Lady Wisdom, a feminine image of God’s interactions with humanity. References to this feminine image start in the early wisdom writings as a metaphor of wisdom calling humanity to learn. Later, the image develops into a full-blown personification of Wisdom as a female emanation of God. We’ll trace this image through the ages in the world of ancient Israel and listen for the playfulness associated with the Lady Wisdom. Participants will have a chance to read and understand some of the wisdom texts that develop this idea.

Join us Sunday February 23, 2014 at 7 pm for the St. Paul’s Cathedral
