3 WELCOME Dear Sisters and Brothers, On behalf of the Cathedral Chapter, staff, and congregation, I am delighted to welcome you to St. James Cathedral, for this annual gathering of cathedral deans (both current and retired) and spouses. It is a privilege and joy to be the host cathedral for this year s conference, and we are excited and delighted that you are with us. A leading English liturgical scholar, when asked to explain in simple terms what happened in the Eucharist, once remarked, First Christ encounters us and then he changes us! With that in mind, our theme this year links the mission of the cathedrals we rejoice in serving and leading with the transformation that the risen Christ both brings us and commissions us to share with the world. I am deeply grateful to our speakers and preachers who have accepted my invitation to speak to us in the coming days. Rabbi Yehiel Poupko will bring us an insight into a rabbinical approach to Scripture that I am confident will joyfully open our minds and hearts. Dr. Damian Zynda will help us rethink our understanding of sacrifice in the context of the story of Oscar Romero. Tony Preckwinkle, the President of Cook County, will share with us the challenges of living out a vocation to transform society. Professor Martyn Percy will help us reflect on the faithful witness of our cathedrals and their role in the world. These talks will be surrounded by two major celebrations of the Eucharist, at which we are fortunate enough to have as our preachers The Rt. Rev. Jeffrey Lee, Bishop of Chicago, and The Rev. Dr. Mark McIntosh, Professor of Christian Spirituality at Loyola University Chicago, both of whose ministries play vital roles in the life of the church in this diocese. I am indebted to those whose generosity has helped make the conference program affordable and enjoyable, and I hope you will enjoy their hospitality in the context of the meals we will share together. I am also profoundly thankful to my colleagues at St. James Cathedral, especially to our Director of Administration, Robert Black, without whose support this conference would not have been possible. Thank you all for being here enjoy the conference! Dominic Barrington THANK YOU TO OUR CONFERENCE SPONSORS The Rt. Rev. Jeffrey Lee & The Diocese of Chicago CM Almy John & Judy Bross Richard Hoskins The British-American Business Council of Chicago The Conrad Hotel, Chicago
