Many Voices, One Faith

Many Voices, One Faith

When the Holy Spirit came down upon the apostles and the church was born, in tongues of flame and words in many languages, the first followers of Jesus learned something about what the body of Christ was supposed to look and sound like. The churc...

From Affirmation to Invitation

From Affirmation to Invitation

You can imagine how good I felt when Kimayo, a musician and artist from New Hampshire, told me why she wanted to perform at Trinity Cathedral. She said, “I want to be there because Trinity is clearly a sacred place for all people.” She wanted...

From Death to Life

From Death to Life

This week began with the news of yet another mass shooting. Nine dead in a Dallas, Texas suburb, a shocking figure when one considers how many broken hearts, how many lives cut short, the losses to family and community, the bloody emergency rooms...

The Dynamic Journey

The Dynamic Journey

“No one ever steps into the same river twice. For it’s not the same river and they are not the same person.” When the ancient writer Heraclitus wrote this many centuries ago, he was probably not speaking of labyrinths. He was describing ...

A Foretaste of Heaven

A Foretaste of Heaven

Worship and liturgy is, at its very best, a foretaste of heaven. Whether the soaring and majestic notes of a cathedral organ or the spirited hymns of a gospel choir, when we gather in spirit and song we aren’t there to “do” something togeth...

Decarbonizing Cleveland

This past week, I joined community and civic leaders at Sustainable Cleveland’s decarbonization summit, to learn about the work of environmental sustainability and to connect with those who are doing this important work. I learned more about...

An Explosion of Joy

An Explosion of Joy

Joy is on my mind this Easter season. I’m still running on the momentum of a joyful Easter weekend, of a Saturday evening vigil service that, in its second year, continues to grow as a major event for the cathedral. The Sunday morning Easter se...

An Easter Message From Dean Owens

An Easter Message From Dean Owens

I’ll tell a little secret of ministry: we don’t write our easter sermons on the day of resurrection itself. That would be great, of course, to journey through the emotional rollercoaster and loss of Holy Week and then to sit beside the tomb a...

Miriam's Cup

Each year the American Jewish Committee here in Cleveland hosts an interfaith seder, where leaders from faith communities throughout the area gather to celebrate the story of liberation from slavery. Though shared through the unique lens of the J...

    The Very Rev. Bernard J. Owens

    Dean

    The Dean's Blog

    The Very Reverend Bernard J. “BJ” Owens, IV was called as dean of Trinity Cathedral in fall 2018. He is the Cathedral’s 12th dean since its founding.

    In his first years at Trinity Cathedral, Dean Owens has worked to build on Trinity’s long history of transcendent worship, wholehearted inclusion, and committed service to the city of Cleveland, while celebrating and supporting the ministry of the many churches of Diocese of Ohio. Dean Owens has led the process of strategic visioning that identified Trinity’s vocation to be A Sacred Place for All People, and has guided the revitalizing of Trinity’s ministry structure to help achieve that vision. He is also a graduate of the 2022 class of Leadership Cleveland.

    Prior to his appointment at Trinity, he served as rector at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Greensboro, North Carolina for eight years. There, he led a growing church, with new members among both young families and mature parishioners. Before St. Andrew’s, he was the Associate Rector for Children’s & Family Ministries at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Cary, North Carolina.

    Dean Owens attended UNC-Chapel Hill and Yale Divinity School. Between his undergraduate and graduate studies, he worked in film production in New York City. He loves to hike, cycle, and do just about anything outdoors; he and his wife, the Rev. Jo Nygard Owens, live in Shaker Heights with their two children.
