Christ the King

Cathedral of Christ the King: The History 1937– 2012 describes the growth of a closely knit society of Atlanta Catholics evolving into a diverse parish of more than 5,000 families. The book is set against a backdrop of a changing Catholic Church with the passage of the Second Vatican Council and the emergence of Atlanta as the sprawling capital of a New South after World War II. It describes the church’s unlikely origins, its connection to Atlanta neighborhoods, and its outstanding architecture and jewel-toned windows designed by one of the nation’s most famous stained glass artisans.
