2012
Annual
Report
Trinity Cathedral
Envision a church of radical hospitality filled with all types of people; a church where
parents bring their children, children bring their parents and people of all ages invite their
friends. Imagine a church with worship, music, art, education, community programs and
civic engagement rooted in our common beliefs and expressed with respect for our diverse
experiences. Imagine a church that works hard to proclaim God’s justice, love and mercy
for all creation. Imagine a church that says “All are welcome,” and really means it.
Here at Trinity Cathedral, the Episcopal Church in downtown Cleveland, we seek to be
that church. We strive to realize the promise of our architecture: a cathedral, a piazza,
a commons, a sacred public space where God’s people gather, learn, pray and become
faithful stewards of God’s bounty.
I am pleased to present our 2012 Annual Report that highlights the accomplishments of this
past year – once again it was one filled with change and challenge, endings and beginnings and
hope and promise for Trinity Cathedral, Greater Cleveland and the world. It was great being in
the middle of it all, and I look forward to continuing our journey together.
Faithfully,
The Very Rev. Tracey Lind, Dean
All
are
welcome.
We really mean it.

EDUCATION AND FORMATION
WORSHIP
Our life together
at Trinity includes
rites and rituals
to mark many
passages of life.
In 2012, we held:
10 Baptisms
9 Confirmations
9 Receptions
7 Funerals/
Memorial Services
6 Weddings
Trinity offers a wide variety of worship opportunities that
reflect the breadth and depth of the Episcopal Church
grounded in the teachings of Jesus, the respect for all faith
traditions and the eternal oneness of God. From mostly
jazz and bluegrass to choral and solemn sung eucharists,
evensong, healing liturgy, noonday prayer, funerals,
weddings, and diocesan services, we offer worship
experiences at Trinity to meet almost everyone’s spiritual
needs. In the fall, worship offerings were expanded with
a new 5 p.m. Eventide Sunday service to attract college
students and younger adults.
Wednesday Evenings at Trinity continued to grow, in part
due to the ever-increasing popularity of Choral Evensong
followed by community supper and adult education. This
beautiful liturgy is deeply rooted in the Anglican liturgical
tradition—and we do it as well as any English cathedral.
Our average weekly attendance for the past year was
475. On both Easter and Christmas we welcomed
approximately 1,000 to the Cathedral. Trinity’s Flower
and Altar Guilds ensured that at those services and
on all Sundays, the spirit of each liturgical season was
visually expressed through meaningful arrangements
and table settings. We continued our ongoing lay
reader and Eucharistic minister training program and
also offered usher and acolyte training.
“You need to know how really and truly energized I have become
by the degree of genuine warmth, welcome and outreach that I
have experienced since joining the Trinity family. I wake up in the
mornings looking forward to the next opportunity I may have to
come to church; something I never fully experienced before.”
—Bill Mastin

At Trinity, we believe that spiritual formation, education,
discernment and personal wellness is a lifelong journey,
and we seek to offer a continuum of speakers, classes
and study groups for all ages. In 2012, we welcomed
Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop of the
Episcopal Church; Bishop John Shelby Spong, pioneer of
progressive Christianity; author Robert V. Taylor; Shane
Claiborne, leader of the new
monastic movement; the Rev.
Kurt Wiesner of All Saints
Episcopal Church, Littleton,
N.H. and Trinity’s former
Canon; and the Rev. Martin
L. Smith, author and spiritual
guide. In addition, many
members of our congregation
led a variety of classes,
Bishop Gene Robinson
workshops and small groups.
On Sunday mornings, Dean Lind interviewed leaders,
teachers, thinkers and artists in her Dean’s Forum,
including: the Rt. Rev. Michael B. Curry, Bishop of
North Carolina; the Rev. Thomas Faulkner, priest
and sculptor; Dr. Marion Bleeke, associate professor
of art history at Cleveland State University; author
Jan Thrope; and Louis Alloro, social-emotional
leadership facilitator.
Wednesday educational offerings explored Walking
the Way of the Cross, Sabbath, contemplative dialogue,
blessed unrest, dystopia and utopia in film and
spirituality for two halves of life. We continued to offer
our ongoing class for adult inquirers, The Episcopal
Church Welcomes You, Really!
In Sunday morning Bible Study, Education for
Ministry, Third Half of Life, Knitting Pearls, and a
number of volunteer-led classes and book studies
as well as discussion and support groups, Cathedral
members studied, prayed and played together.
During Lent, Trinity hosted “Walking the Way of the
Cross,” fourteen contemporary sculptural meditations
of the Stations of the Cross by Episcopal priest and
sculptor Thomas Faulkner. Guided walks by Rev.
Faulkner and online podcasts enhanced the work.
In October, the Bible Challenge kicked off. As members
make the one-year pilgrimage through Holy Scripture,
Bible Challenge check-ins are held Wednesdays and
some Sundays. Participants may also pose questions
on the Bible Challenge blog as well as the Cathedral’s
social media sites.
Children and Youth
In line with the Cathedral’s mission, goals, and focus areas
(theology, biblical study, spiritual practice, community
and service), 160 children and youth experienced a full
and active year of meaningful worship, community,
service and formation. A youth choir was formed with
occasional performances at the 9 a.m. Sunday service. Up
to 20 children, age 10 and younger, regularly participate
in our Sunday morning Chapel Chats. The Sunday School
program continues to utilize Godly Play and Workshop
Cycles for the weekly curriculum as the children explore
the traditions and history of the church.

MUSIC AND ART

The Cathedral Choir, Trinity Chamber Singers, The Gateway
jazz band, the Under Construction bluegrass band and the
newly formed Trinity Children’s Choir continue to enhance
our worship service and events. Musical highlights from 2012
included a performance of Arvo Pärt’s PASSIO on Good
Friday, and a Mozart by Candlelight concert in November,
featuring the Mozart Requiem.
Youth in grades 6-12 were offered multiple overnights
and weekend retreats at the Cathedral, as well as with
the diocese. Eight of our youth participated in the
confirmation class and were confirmed during the Easter
Vigil. Twelve youth, twice the number of the previous year,
participated in the Summer Mission Trip, and raised all
of the funds for the outing. During the past year, we also
increased the ranks of our youth leaders and chaperones.
Trinity Cleveland Urban Service Corps
In a program sponsored by Trinity Cathedral and with
generous funding support from Trinity Parish, New York
City, we welcome recent college graduates to Cleveland
for a year-long urban service, residential immersion
program. This year, the number of interns grew to eight
individuals from an inaugural class of six. Participants live
in community and serve at local nonprofits. Placement
sites for the interns were: Cleveland Leadership Center; the
Episcopal Diocese of Ohio; Famicos Foundation; Greater
Cleveland Congregations; Marion-Sterling Community
Partnership; Slavic Village Community Development
Center; University Settlement Community Development
Organization; and Young Audiences Artworks.
Music and Art at Trinity Cathedral completed its 35th
anniversary year, and began its 36th season in the
fall, including a three-concert Brahms-Fest featuring
instrumental and vocal chamber music of the German
master. The annual Messiah-Sing enjoyed record
attendance with 645 guests.
Music and Art at Trinity was invited to be part of the first
group of host organizations for Creative Fusion, a new
program funded by The Cleveland Foundation. Armenian
singer, composer and pianist Lucineh Hovanissian was
based here at Trinity from September through November,
participating in many facets of our music and worship life.
The Visual Artists at Trinity led tours and talks at both
the Cleveland Museum of Art and Lakeland Community
College Art Gallery. In addition, they sponsored the
Cleveland Artists Holiday Invitational exhibit held in the
Gallery at Trinity Commons that included a gallery talk
and artists roundtable. The Visual Artists at Trinity also
added to the Medieval Feast festivities (Music and Art’s
largest annual fundraiser) with an arts bazaar.
“Warm and absolutely
dynamic worship
atmosphere,
commandingly beautiful
cathedral, and a unique
music and art program! I
had an incredibly enriching
experience at Trinity.’’
—Lucineh Hovanissian,
Creative Fusion Artist

2012 Annual Report
NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAMS
In 2012, the demand for Trinity’s Sunday lunch program,
A Place at the Table, remained critical. We served 10,988
lunches to 5,874 children, women and men. The Cathedral
is the only location in downtown Cleveland to offer walkins a hot, indoor meal on Sunday afternoons.
“We have hosted our last four benefit events at Trinity, and love
how large, incredibly unique and flexible it is. The event and
maintenance staff are attentive, accommodating and generous.
All of this is a great combination when planning a distinctive
fundraiser for our theatre for up to 500 people!”
—Lindsay Doerr, Development Director, Near West Theatre
PLACEMAKING
Our ministry of placemaking—providing sacred public
space in the heart of the city—continues to further the
growth and vitality of both downtown Cleveland and the
Campus District neighborhood. The Commons serves
many goals, including encouraging civic conversation,
building community and promoting economic
development as well as providing high-quality and
affordable conference, meeting and event facilities. This
year saw the addition of the Campus District Inc. to
our storefront, an organization connecting Cleveland’s
downtown campuses by leading, providing, and
promoting community development services.
In 2012, we welcomed 32,000 individuals from the
community and outside groups to Trinity Commons
for meetings and events. The Center for Women at Case
Western Reserve University, City Year Cleveland, Cleveland
Metropolitan School District, Cuyahoga County Board of
Elections, The George Gund Foundation, March of Dimes,
Near West Theatre and North Coast Men’s Chorus are just
a few of the many groups and organizations that use Trinity
Commons’ meetings and event space and take advantage of
its downtown location.
Trinity Cathedral and Trinity Commons also hosted
numerous diocesan events including the Middle School
Pilgrimage and many diocesan ordinations, confirmations,
meetings, gatherings, retreats and conferences. The Cathedral
Library is open to all and features a diverse collection of adult
and children’s books. Books are acquired through donations;
library volunteers maintain and display the collection.
Trinity’s volunteer docents offer hospitality to members
and visitors by sharing information about the Cathedral’s
art, architecture and history.

Trinity’s Urban Farm, located at East 35th and Cedar,
has harvested more than 15,000 pounds of food since
2006 to help feed hungry and homeless people in
Trinity’s neighborhood. Each week about six to ten
volunteers help plant and harvest crops as well as plant
trees and flowers that help beautify the neighborhood.
Food from the farm
is used to benefit
hunger programs
such as A Place at the
Table, Blessings in a
Backpack, Cleveland
Foodbank and more.
“I am glad we are able to include food from
Trinity’s urban farm. It helps to make the
connection that good, local food is available and
that families can get involved in its production.
It helps to break the McDonalds/KFC grip that
keeps many families in a nutritional deficit.”
—Jim Burger, Trinity member &
Blessings in a Backpack volunteer
Blessings in a Backpack continues to be a popular and
necessary program for Trinity’s nearby Marion-Sterling
Elementary School. Each Friday, children are given
backpacks filled with healthy food and nutritional
information to promote health and wellness. In 2012
distribution was increased from an average of 25 bags
per week to 50 bags—providing healthy and nutritious
food to approximately 140 people each week. This was
made possible in part by a grant from The Reinberger
Foundation. In addition, 90 baskets of food were delivered
to Marion-Sterling children at Thanksgiving.
2012 Annual Report
In 2012, Trinity kicked off a new neighborhood ministry,
Angel Tree. Volunteers purchased, wrapped and
delivered Christmas gifts to 29 area children who have an
incarcerated parent. The program promotes reconciliation
between those in prison and their families.
CIVIC, INTERFAITH AND
DIOCESAN LEADERSHIP
Trinity Cathedral continues to be an active participant in
the Marion-Sterling Community Partnership. In addition
to providing tutors and enrichment opportunities, we
support students with donations of school supplies, hats,
gloves and mittens. Members of Trinity also volunteer at
the school’s annual carnival, a celebratory end-of-year
activity. During 2012, the Partnership was focused on
improving academic performance, reducing absenteeism
and eliminating behavioral problems that interfere with
learning. Trinity, along with other partners, conducted an
evaluation and assessment of the work being done by the
Partnership and decided to recommit itself to assisting
students, families, staff, teachers and the administration at
Marion-Sterling. For a portion of the year, an intern was
supplied to the Partnership through the Trinity Cleveland
Urban Service Corps program.
The Trinity MidTown FreshStop, run by volunteers
from Trinity Cathedral and the MidTown neighborhood
in cooperation with City Fresh, provided weekly fresh
produce to 50 families living or working downtown.
In 2012, Trinity continued its leadership in Greater
Cleveland Congregations (GCC), a broad-based community
organization of more than 40 congregations addressing
issues in education, criminal justice, jobs, health care and
food accessibility. Trinity volunteers participated in voter
registration, canvassing, phone banking, and electionday support in the successful campaign for the Cleveland
Metropolitan School District levy. GCC also convened
the Northeast Ohio Medicaid Expansion Coalition, a
collaboration of more than 30 different hospitals, health
centers, mental health and substance abuse providers,
advocates, consumer groups, and other stakeholders to
speak with one voice from Northeast Ohio about the
importance of Medicaid expansion. Dean Lind continues to
serve as one of GCC’s co-chairs.
The GCC Criminal Justice team, Canon Mebane and
many Trinity members continue to work to end the state’s
death penalty. In 2012, the Rev. Canon Will Mebane
testified in support of abolishing the death penalty before
the Ohio Senate Judiciary Committee.
In December, Trinity members came together and
remembered the shooting victims in Newtown, Conn.,
urging legislators to work for real gun reform at both the state
and federal levels. Members had the opportunity through
letters and calls to convey their thoughts on gun violence and
gun reform to Ohio Governor Kasich and President Obama.
Trinity clergy and laity also serve in leadership roles in
the diocese, including participation on the Standing
Committee, Commission on Ministry, Diocesan Council
and Episcopal Peace Fellowship.
CONGREGATIONAL CARE
Almost 100 new members joined Trinity in 2012.
Welcoming newcomers is one of our greatest joys at
Trinity and this year the commitment to our newcomer
program continued. The Cathedral’s Welcome Team of
ushers and greeters was reorganized for greater efficiency.
Training opportunities were held for the Welcome Team as
well as Flower Guild volunteers, lectors and acolytes.

Trinity staff worked with the Cathedral’s small group
leaders to support their important fellowship, ministry
and outreach efforts.
2012 Annual Report
The Care Corner section of Trinity’s website continues
to offer another avenue for members to connect and serve.
It allows parishioners to confidentially post tasks for which
they need assistance or services offered, such as rides to
church, yard work and more.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Cathedral and Trinity Commons continues to
model institutional operating practices that promote
environmental stewardship and the rebuilding of a
sustainable city and region. We strive to educate our
members, friends and neighbors on the challenges and
opportunities of sustainability through forums, discussion
groups and our Living Lightly Fair. Among our many
green efforts, we participate in and support local food and
community gardening; we strive to be energy efficient and
encourage carpooling, walking and biking; and we seek to
reduce landfill waste by practicing and promoting recycling.
COMMUNICATIONS
In 2012, Trinity launched a redesigned This Week @ Trinity
(our weekly email newsletter) for improved readability to
our more than 1,400 subscribers. A Bible Challenge microsite
and email list was created to promote the year-long challenge,
offer resources and create online space for participant
dialogue and interaction. A dedicated landing page
(www.medievalfeast.org) was created for the Medieval Feast
fundraiser to allow for online ticket sales and further brand
the annual event. Facebook fans increased to
860 and 370 people follow Trinity on Twitter.
Trinity once again participated in the year’s Sustainable
Cleveland 2019 Summit and Dean Lind continues to serve
as a member of the Mayor’s Steering Committee. In 2012,
the Dean spoke at a number of sustainability events in
Northeast Ohio.
Trinity continually assesses its efforts and activities at the
Cathedral and Trinity Commons to ensure that everything
from our custodial practices to supply ordering and
heating and cooling processes are energy-efficient and
environmentally sustainable, making improvements when
and where needed.

In 2012 in thanksgiving
for Tracey Lind’s 25 years
of ordained ministry
and her leadership as the
eleventh Dean of Trinity
Cathedral, the Rev. Ora
and Mary Lou Calhoun
pledged $100,000 over
the next five years. The gift will fund the programs at Trinity Cathedral
that train and mentor new clergy and will also support education and
formation programs for youth and young adults.
Members and friends of Trinity are invited to make a tax-deductible
donation to the Future Leaders Fund to match the $100,000 pledged by

Special podcasts for the year included “Walking the Way of
the Cross,” a guided tour of the 14-station exhibit by the
Rev. Thomas Faulkner and Health & Wellness forums. In
the fall, Trinity began podcasting Choral Evensong. These
are in addition to podcasts of Dean’s Forums, sermons and
guest lectures available on the website. Cathedral podcasts
were accessed more than 255,000 times by 23,676 unique
visitors; a 6.6% increase (in unique visitors) over last year.
A well-rounded mix of earned and paid media on radio,
TV, print and online outlets further strengthened the
Cathedral’s position as a vital center for worship, music
and arts in downtown Cleveland.
Governance and Administration
Several significant efforts were undertaken this year
to support fiscal sustainability and ongoing property
stewardship. A task force was established to undertake
long-range financial planning. The property committee
updated the master property plan and investigated potential
investments in the physical plant to significantly reduce
energy consumption and generate ongoing cost savings. The
finance committee oversaw a complete reimplementation
of the financial management system to allow for greater
project-level financial and performance management.
