The
Collection
The
Library has been endowed by the Yergey family in memory
of C. Arthur
Yergey, a longtime Cathedral member and Senior Warden.
The collection
numbers about 5000 volumes. It comprises the Cathedral
and Diocesan
collections as well as the library of the former World Center
for
Liturgical Studies, probably the most complete liturgical collection
in the Southeast.
The
comprehensive theological collection includes most versions of the
Bible, commentaries, a wide selection of books related to Christianity,
Judaism, World Religions, the Church Fathers, and a set of the Babylonian
Talmud.
|
There is also good coverage
of such
subjects as church history, prayer, the devotional life, spiritual
healing, Biographies of religious leaders, and more.
A section is
reserved for children’s books and recreational reading.

The library will be rededicated on February 26.
This beautiful remodeling was made possible by a generous gift
from the Yergey Family.
