[Magdalen] When jazz & Grace Cathedral were one.

[cantor03 at aol.com]

I am reminded of that infamous legendary (?) story of the liturgical study group having firstsavored the wonders of Saint Gregory of Nyssa in San Francisco, and then attended aSunday Choral Eucharist at Grace Cathedral.  When a nude woman began dancing aroundthe high altar of the Cathedral, they were so shell shocked by exposure to Saint Gregory's theythought it was just part of the liturgy, until the ushers threw a blanket around the dancinglady and escorted her out of the church.


Where else but San Francisco?
