Cathedral of All Souls

All Souls is a collection of spiritual pilgrims who find their lives pushed by ancient & present worship, by arts & creativity, and by being present in the world. It is a Eucharistically-centered cathedral whose life is shaped by scripture, the baptismal covenant, and our engagement with the world about us, a community where all are welcome, trust is present, risks are taken, and where our gifts and graces enable us to be who God knows us to be.
As an Episcopal church, we live by our baptismal covenant which calls us to “respect the dignity of every human being.” We lean into the words All Souls, so much so that we jokingly refer to ourselves as “All Sorts”. No matter who you are, where you come from, where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.
The heart of our life is our shared worship, exemplified by the ancient tradition of the Eucharist (communion) made present with our participation. It is in our coming together to be fed that we center ourselves and prepare to go into the world to do God’s work.
We worship a God that gets involved in the messy beauty of creation. Likewise, we seek to be a community involved in the challenges and celebrations of our community outside the physical walls of the Cathedral, in Asheville, Western North Carolina, and the wider world.
