A Theology of the Cathedral

Many factors come together to build a Cathedral for the ages:

The vision of Bishop John Cummins in creating the structure and processes that developed the consensus to move forward.
The dedication and hard work of past volunteer committees, including those that chose the name, managed the competition and selection of the architect, selected the site and formulated the building plans.
The same dedication and work of ongoing committees managing the finances, organizing the fund-raising and bringing construction to completion.

These vital activities help great cathedral centers to be built.

But what are the spiritual, theological drivers?

The images that follow, with quotations from Church Documents and the writings of Bishop Allen Vigneron, shed light on a theology of the cathedral.
