House of God, Gate of Heaven
House of God, Gate of Heaven portrays a cathedral church, a parish
church and a vibrant church in the city. Its pages picture and portray some of
the holy and beautiful people and things that make up St. James Cathedral.
--Father Michael G. Ryan, Pastor.
In House of God, Gate of Heaven, parishioner Robert Clark, nationally
acclaimed novelist, gives us the intimate story of his conversion at St. James;
David Brewster, notable Seattle journalist and civic leader, writes of the cathedral's
impact on the life of the city; historian David Buerge offers the remarkable
story of the cathedral's history; Stephen Lee, project architect for the 1994
renovation, provides an essay illustrated with architectural drawings and breathtaking
photos.
House of God, Gate of Heaven, edited and designed by Jackie O'Ryan, reveals
that the beauty of St. James Cathedral is not just an aesthetic marvel. The
1994 renovation, placing the altar table, the symbol of Christ, in the center
of our gathering has reshaped the way in which we worship and serve together.
House of God, Gate of Heaven is a 124 -page 'coffee table' book with
over 250 color photographs of St. James Cathedral and parishioners, published
by Éditions du Signe, Strasbourg, France and printed in Pomezia, Italy.
