At Grace Cathedral, Dean Malcolm Clemens Young reflects on the ministry of Jared Johnson, Canon for Music.
Drawing from the final chapter of Book of Revelation, this sermon imagines the choir room as a kind of “New Jerusalem” — a place of mutual respect, courage, compassion, and grace. Through stories of rehearsals, choir tours, and sacred music, this sermon explores how Anglican Christianity emphasizes gradual transformation, human dignity, and the quiet holiness of ordinary life.
Referencing hymns by Charles Wesley and the beloved anthem “For the Fruit of All Creation,” this farewell sermon honors Jared Johnson’s leadership of the choirs of Grace Cathedral and the culture of encouragement he fostered among singers young and old.
