Schools Within The Cathedral
The cathedral contains The Right Reverend James M. Stanton Center for Ministry Formation, whose primary mission is to serve people who feel called to the Diaconate; both to aid them in their discernment process and to provide the necessary theological training for possible ordination as deacons. The Cathedral Center is a place where deacons-in-training can be part of a community, attend graduate-level classes, and experience spiritual growth.
The cathedral also offers its facilities to various groups in the diocese and community for a variety of instruction. Not all classes are of a religious nature; classes are also offered for people preparing to take the General Educational Development Test, sign language, and more.

Famous quotes containing the words schools and/or cathedral:
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“... the first cathedral you see remains with you forever as the cathedral of the world.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
