Christ Church Cathedral — Attraction in Indianapolis

This place is a poor example of a house of God. The dean is a charlatan, only good for pushing his own agendas, first and foremost a political one. It is tragic how this Cathedral has disbanded its greatest treasure, and unique identity of offering dignified worship. It was not a priority to save its choir of Men and Boys, not to mention its place as a place of spiritual and artistic vision for the true work of God, not part of the political mess we find our world in. It is truly impossible to recognize this once gem of American worship, especially in the sports-dominated city of Indianapolis. I wonder what the great benefactor of the Cathedral would think about the current state of this playground of political farce? It is shameful that such preoccupation with the mess of fading secular rot has replaced a higher, spiritually uplifting and nourishing Cathedral community.

Pretty poor excuse for a cathedral, just a showboat of hypocrisy. You have the most shallow, fake dean that pushes his own agenda and doesn't care about anything else. The music program here has just fallen straight to hell under the dean and the new staff, so...

What this church does very well: Outreach to Hispanic and LGBT communities. Gorgeous services, CD-quality music from the choir every week. Socially engaged with the community. (If you are a political or social conservative, you probably won't like this church. Consider attending an ACNA church, instead.) Not afraid to make political or social statements, based in Scripture (putting the Holy Family in a cage as a protest against the really cruel and inhumane policies of Donald Trump and Greg Abbott). Summer strawberry festival. DO NOT MISS THIS IF YOU ARE IN INDY IN JUNE!!!

Where this church needs work: Welcoming newcomers. I attended this church for six weeks and was not greeted one time during those six weeks, so eventually I left. Cliques. There are strong cliques in play at this church. The parish as a whole needs to work on disengaging these cliques and making newcomers...

I just heard the outstanding sermon from this church on the radio whilst driving in IN. I am very impressed that they truest preach the message of Jesus. I ask those who say othwrwise in their reviews to actually pick up the Bilble they quote and read. Don’t just read what your church tells you should read, but read and interpret, do not have it interpreted for you. You should never hear, “......and Jesus said, and that means....” in your church. I heard this ZERO times in the sermon at Christ Church Cathedral. To those who say a church should stay out of politics it is ironic to me that recently the GOP pushed thru an change to 501c3 law that allows churches to contribute to campaigns, and engage in political speech. This church does not agree with your line and the shoe is on the other foot and it is not...
