    I've been to this church a few times and it has been amazing Every. Single. Time. Holy spirit is…read morepresent. The church isn't over spiritual but has an excellent balance of spirit and truth. Well worth checking out. The location is in a arts looking building. To park in the parking lot the entrance is on the side. The church is worth checking out. (I am not the one who typically does a yelp review) but this place is worth the review.

    We recently got a house in Milwaukee and were searching for a new Church. Yelped around and found…read moreMIX. Our first experience was great. Lots of younger energetic people intermixed with a few older people. We sat next to a couple in their 70s and were welcomed with hugs, handshakes and plenty of cheerfulness. The older lady next to us gave us a intro through narrative during the service which was nice. The pastor is young and fiery. I like that he uses a comedy approach and can elicit laughter to make a point. Church, in my humble opinion, should be a welcoming environment that uplifts your soul while gently reminding us all that we are responsible for our own decisions, but there is guidance available to those in need. The fire and brimstone approach is a fear tactic to scare people into submission... this pastor has no need for that because he is an excellent orator and can relate to those in his flock. He seems to be one of Milwaukee's best and brightest. The city is lucky to have this family leading the way. We also used the child care and greatly appreciated the extra attention they gave to be security focused and friendly at the same time. We now consider this our home Church.

    Today was a special event at the cathedral, the annual Kirkin' o' th' Tartans, a celebration of…read moreScottish heritage and culture. The origins of the kirking are the stuff of legend, and like most legends, it is probably based in some fact but where the fact leaves off and the fantasy starts has been lost to history. First of all, what does it mean? The Scottish Gaelic word, "kirk" means church, and in this context, "kirk" means "blessing." Tartans are the traditional plaid emblems of Scottish clans, woven into (typically) wool cloth. According to legend, in the mid-18th Century, the British rulers took revenge on Scotland in retaliation for a failed attempt to regain Scottish independence. The wearing of tartans, kilts and any highlanded symbols was forbidden. Legend says Highlanders wore tartans under their garments, in defiance of the law, with their tartans blessed in church. 46 years later, the law was rescinded and the wearin' of the tartans returned. The problem is that no real history of the secret wearin' o' the tartans is known in Scotland. So this tradition may be a uniquely American tradition, going back to World War II. Either way, the Kirkin' o' th' Tartans takes place in churches all across the county on April 6 each year. Sometimes it's celebrated on Reformation Sunday the last Sunday in October, sometimes on St. Andrew's Day (St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland) on November 30, or, as in Milwaukee, on Tartan Day on April 6. At the kirking of the tartans, there is lots of bagpipe music, Scottish dancing, remembrance of those who left us in the prior year, the reading of the 23rd Psalm (with a Gaelic accent) and, of course, the blessing of the tartans. The joint bagpipe/pipe organ rendition of "Amazing Grace" could bring a tear to your eye, and it was the first time I've ever heard a pipe organ almost overpowered. Now I'm looking forward to the Highland Games, but I'm marking my calendar for April 6, 2015.

    Really cool old church. Beautiful gardens outside. Good meeting spaces inside. Has some cool…read moresteeples too. I get a very serine, peaceful feeling just sitting outside on a nice evening. Don't get that feeling very many places. Kinda expect to see friar tuck come out of the door with a keg o beer but I digress. It's a very special spiritual space.
