Sunday Sermon: The Very Rev. Kelly Brown Douglas

"Cathedral Family, here is the thing I know: regardless of how powerful, how pervasive, how persistent and poisonous is that which divides, polarizes and alienates us one from another, none of that stands a chance against the love that is God’s. For the love that is God’s is real."
