Cantebury Cathedral
(click image for larger view)

The Metropolitan Cathedral Church of Christ at Canterbury is visual analogue to the Anglican Communion, of which it is the Mother Church. On the site of the present church, in 597 AD, St. Augustine established his cathedral monastery. In 1170 AD a successor to St. Augustine, Archbishop Thomas a Becket, was martyred as he entered the choir for Vespers. The fame of this martyred man of God brought pilgrims from all corners of the known world to seek God's grace at Becket's shrine

The vast interior of Canterbury Cathedral tells the story of much of its history.
 

Sacred Music America does not guarantee that all the music of every service at the parishes and congregations listed is consistent with its standards. If you plan to visit any of them, call ahead of time to ask for details about the program for the specific liturgy you expect to attend.

A great many parishes and congregations maintain high standards across the country. The listing above offers a few examples worthy of attention at this time. Others will be added to the list, which we plan to expand and enlarge.
