Madeleine L’Engle Celebration

Last Tuesday, Cathedral hosted a celebration of Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time and many other fantastic novels. All community members were welcome to attend and Charlotte Jones Voiklis, the granddaughter of Madeleine L’Engle, was in attendance as well. Ms. Jones Voiklis is the co-author of A Book, Too, Can Be a Star: The Story of Madeleine L’Engle and the Making of a Wrinkle in Time along with Jennifer Adams. Ms. L’Engle was a valued member of the Close community for many years as the librarian for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in the Diocesan House. The celebration also coincided with Madeleine L’Engle’s 105th birthday and those in attendance were able to enjoy cake as part of the festivities.
