News for our NCA members
Read the fall issue of Cathedral Insider

Dear Cathedral Friend,

Every week, I receive notes from people across the country who find strength in this Cathedral—through worship, music or simply knowing we’re here.

In a world filled with conflict and division, your Cathedral offers something steady and clear: a gospel-rooted message of forgiveness, love and peace. These ideals are not just comforting—they are our calling. And in moments of struggle, they are what carry us forward.

This issue of Cathedral Insider shares how we’re living out that calling through worship, sacred space and service. I hope you’ll read how your support is helping us offer hope to a hurting world.

Blessings,

The Very Rev. Randy Hollerith
Dean
