Latin Vandals?

The Cathedral was struck by Latin speaking vandals over the winter. Our Cathedral Sign was vandalized and the “l” was taken off.

Clearly the Vandals wanted to teach the congregation a lesson in Latin. Cathedra (Latin for “chair”; from Greek: καθέδρα kathédra, “seat”) is the bishop’s throne or the seat of a bishop. It is a symbol of the bishop’s teaching authority in the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion churches. (Thank you Wikipedia) .

The Cathedral is where we hold the Cathedra (or the Chair of the Bishop)

Lucky for us we have a handy wood worker in the congregation and Dave Rolston was able to craft an L for us.

All is now as it should be.
