As
Christians, we are committed to following Jesus Christ as his
disciples in the world. Spiritual discipline is essential if we are
to live into this commitment. The Cathedral Rule is designed to
deepen the faith life of both individuals and the Community.
Remember
The Rule is
Flexible
– it is intended to work with the varied work and family obligations
of our diverse community. You can and should adapt it to your
particular situation. Many of our members are already doing more than
the Rule and that is fine.
The Rule is
Reasonable
– it contains essential elements for growth in our spiritual lives.
As Christians we are called to seek God with all our lives.
The Rule is
Invitational
– We want every member to commit to the Rule or some parts of it.
(This is an invitation to deeper spiritual growth.) The invitation
does not come with a penalty attached. We will continue to commend it
and augment it for times such as Advent and Lent. Occasionally, we
will recommend a study or book for us to read together.
The Rule is
Foundational
– It includes prayer, study, worship and service. We will make
regular suggestions to enhance your participation in each of these.
