Cathedral Services this Sunday

Out of an abundance of caution, and because of specific threats at the Indiana State House this Sunday, January 17, Bishop Jennifer has requested that our cathedral building be closed and our worship services will be livestreamed from an alternative location.

We invite you to pray for peace in our nation, and look forward to worshipping with you via teleworship at 8 AM, and online with Bishop Jennifer at 10 AM and 1 PM.

Ringing Our Bells For COVID-19 Victims

JANUARY 19 AT 5:20 PM

Christ Church Cathedral will join with churches around the nation in ringing our bells for victims of COVID-19 on Tuesday afternoon, January 19. Led by parishioner Dave Jose, a small group of our members has been gathering regularly on Monument Circle to pray and honor victims by striking a gong to remember those who have died. The group will gather this Tuesday at 5:20 p.m. on the north side of the Monument, travel to four points on the Circle, and then finish on the Cathedral lawn, where Dean Gray will offer prayers of remembrance and we will toll the Cathedral bells.

If you’d like to participate, call Dave at 317-695-1084, as conditions downtown next week may warrant a location/time change.

Staying home does not mean staying silent:
A letter from Episcopal Bishops

Bishop Jennifer and 12 other bishops have written a letter asking Episcopalians to stay away from protests and counter-protests between now and the presidential Inauguration on January 20.

“In these perilous times, when public demonstrations carry significant risk of both violence and exposure to COVID-19, we believe that God calls us to exercise both our Christian witness and our civic responsibility in ways that promote peace and safety. Between now and Inauguration Day, we can best follow our vocation to be peacemakers by staying away from places where harm could come to God’s people.

Staying home does not, however, mean staying silent.”
