[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t it a consecrated space in the nave?  The link is directly from the Cathedral, so it’s not another outside organization.

I once went to a private event at the top floor in the place where they have their Cathedral teas.  That would seem to be an appropriate place for this event.

Episcopalians don't "consecrate" spaces with a splash of holy water the way Roman Catholics do.  Besides Cathedrals have a long history of being community gathering places.[/quote].

I’m an Episcopalian priest.   We do consecrate. Google episcopal consecrate [/quote]

Looked it up and here's what I found:  "Episcopal consecration (or ordination) confers the fullness of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. This consecration, which is known as the high priesthood, makes a man a bishop. It confers the office (duty, function) of sanctifying. It also confers the duties of teaching and ruling in communion with the head and members of the College of Bishops."https://afc.org/fc_question/what-does-episcopal-consecration-or-ordination-confer/

So, a place is not consecrated "with a splash of holy water."  Rather, [i]people[/i] are consecrated, when they enter the episcopal priesthood.[/quote]

So by your definition the Cathedral is not a consecrated building?  Just the people in it?  I would think the Episcopalian priest would know what they are talking about.[/quote]
