The virtual home of the Episcopal Cathedral in Chicago for our friends, neighbors, visitors, and the people of St. James! Our congregation is growing ever more diverse in age, race, ethnicity, and background, drawing members from our downtown neighborhood, across the city, and from Chicago suburbs. Our diversity also extends to our worship, which balances traditional liturgy with progressive, theologically-grounded preaching that aims to be both welcoming and spiritually transformative. St. James is committed to caring for the members of its vibrant congregation and making God’s presence known in all of the communities in which we live and to reaching out to those in need. We are especially focused on ministering to those broken by life’s circumstances and on ending the violence that endangers so many of our city’s youth. As the cathedral of the Episcopal Bishop of Chicago, the Rt. Rev. Jeffrey D. Lee, St. James is the site of diocesan wide events and celebrations, but it is also a parish of committed congregants with a deep love for this particular community. Through the arts, music, and social justice activities we offer a variety of ways to become involved in our community, whether you are a committed follower of Christ, an occasional visitor who appreciates our programming, or fall somewhere in between.
