Welcome to
Trinity Episcopal Cathedral!
Trinity is an urban congregation of 1,500 members who live in neighborhoods all over the greater Portland area. We are a people committed to worshipping God, nurturing Christian community, and proclaiming the Gospel by working for justice and peace in the world. The Cathedral is known in the broader community for superb music, broad educational programming for all ages, and outreach ministries to the city and beyond. Trinity is also home to the Trinity Bookstore and the Center for Spiritual Development. Since the pioneer days of the Oregon Trail, Trinity has been among the largest Episcopal congregations in the Pacific Northwest.
A Decade of War
Featuring Andrew Bacevich, author of Washington Rules: America’s Path to Permanent War
Wednesday, May 16, 7 p.m., Trinity Cathedral
Free and open to the public. No tickets or reservations needed.
Bacevich will address several urgently important questions: “More than a decade into the ‘Global War on Terror,’ where has that conflict taken us? What has it achieved? What has it cost?” Although, Bacevich notes, the inclination to turn away from these questions may be strong, Americans should resist that temptation.
A retired career officer in the U.S. Army, Andrew Bacevich teaches international relations and history at Boston University. He was a persistent and vocal critic of the U.S. occupation of Iraq from the outset, describing George W. Bush’s endorsement of such “preventive wars” as “immoral, illicit, and imprudent.” His son, Andrew Bacevich Jr., also an Army officer, was killed in action in Iraq in 2007 at the age of 27.
This lecture is co-sponsored by conflict and ILLAHEE.

The Center for Spiritual Development Present:
Summer Seminar 2012: LIVING TOGETHER
June 11th-13th, with a free evening lecture open to the public on Tuesday, June 12, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral
Jonathan Wilson-Hargrove, one of the leading voices in the New Monastic movement, is our keynote speaker as we come together as an intentional community asking the ancient question: “what do you seek?”
In an age of fragmentation and isolation, a grassroots movement has begun that seeks to put Christians in touch with the rhythms of community life we find expressed in scripture and tradition. In the Pacific Northwest, we’re experiencing a rich revival of intentional living in community – much of it grounded in a rich spirituality that unites ancient wisdom with contemporary concerns. Come experience what it means to live together, to structure our lives in relationship to a community of prayer and practice that forms us in the image of the one who created us.
