Calvary Cathedral Mission Statement:
In accordance with the richness and history of our tradition, Calvary
Cathedral exists to love God and others and to serve in the spirit of
Christ.
Please keep the Cathedral in your prayers as we proceed in this work:
Our Creator, guide and
govern us as we work together in molding your Cathedral into a place of
beautiful worship.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, let
us follow You faithfully as we share the life You have given us.
Holy Spirit come, live in
us that we may welcome all as the family of God here at Calvary Cathedral.
O God, show us the needs
of your people and help us to carry out your will in a world where the need is
great, resources are abundant, and only our imagination is limited.
Teach us your way, O Lord,
and give us the wisdom to share all we know of You.
In all things, empower us
to care for this world You have entrusted to us.
And bring to us the one
you are preparing even now to lead us in all these excellent endeavors.
Through the love of Jesus
Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Search Process FAQs
1. When will Calvary Cathedral have a new Dean?
We will call a Dean as soon as we are able to work through the
process. The goal is to complete the process by the end of 2008.
2. How will the search for a new Dean happen?
After a series of events providing a parish-wide discernment, a
Parish Profile will be created. Then a Search Committee will be
formed. After those items are completed, prospective candidates—
including those whose names are provided by the national Church
Deployment Office, the Diocese, our parishioners, and
self-furnished—will be invited to participate in our
search. The Committee will interview those candidates who
appear the most likely "match" to our profile. When the "right
fit" is found, the Search Committee recommendations will be accepted by
the Vestry; upon concurrence, the Vestry will propose the candidate to
the Bishop. If accepted, the candidate will become our
permanent Dean. Check the Process Timeline and Milestones for
more information as we work through the process.
3. Who is leading Calvary Cathedral until a new Dean is called?
The Bishop is Rector of the Cathedral and is the ecclesiastical
authority. With the need for Fr. Chuck Parthum's surgery and
recovery process, the Vestry requested additional guidance from the
Diocese. The Rev. Canon Dr. Robert Wagner and David Hussey are
assisting in the process and Canon Wagner provides leadership for the
ongoing needs of the Cathedral. Throughout the transition
period, the membership of Calvary are also represented through our
elected Officers and Vestry. For 2008, these are:
- Cannon Robert Wagner (Interim Dean)
- Loyd Wagner, Senior Warden
- Joe Tischler, Junior Warden
- Tom Mark, Treasurer
- Holly Huisken, Clerk
- Bonnie Bunch
- Charlotte Carver
- Andrea Kuehn
