SEI’s Principal, Prof Michael Hull, was honoured to preach at the Holy Eucharist on All Saints’ Day, Sunday 3 November, at 10.30am at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh. The Very Rev John Conway, Provost, presided at the Eucharist and welcomed Michael to the Cathedral of which Michael is a Chapter Canon.
St Mary’s is the mother church of the Diocese of Edinburgh. The Cathedral is one of Scotland’s great Christian buildings and, indeed, one of Scotland’s neo-Gothic masterpieces. It is a landmark in Edinburgh’s New Town. It was designed by George Gilbert Scott, begun in 1874 and consecrated five years later in 1879. It is busy and lively house of worship, serving not only its own congregation, but also the wider Edinburgh and national communities.
St Mary’s offers services every day, led six times per week by the Cathedral’s Choir, and is engaged in a plethora of Christian works within Edinburgh and beyond.
Prof Hull was at the Cathedral as part of SEI’s renewed efforts to engage the wider Scottish Episcopal Church it serves. SEI supports ordinands, students for lay ministries and all those engaged in deepening their Christian faith across the SEC. It does this through programmes of formation and learning, both onsite and online, which aim to nurture the discipleship of all the baptised in their shared response to the call of God in their individual vocations.
