The Use of The St. Helena Psalter in Our Worship

with No Comments

A Special Hybrid Forum with Dean Thomason, Canon Kleinschmidt, and Two Sisters from the Order of St. Helena

SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 10:10–10:50 A.M., in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom

During the past year, as part of our larger initiative of employing expansive language in our worship services, the cathedral has been regularly using translations of the Psalms as found in The St. Helena Psalter, a resource developed by an Episcopal monastic community of sisters in Augusta, Georgia. We are delighted that two sisters—Sr. Miriam Elizabeth and Sr. Ellen Francis—will join us via Zoom to share a bit of history and planned updates for the psalter. Canon Kleinschmidt and Dean Thomason will also guide a conversation about the historical role of psalms in worship and how we use them today.
