The Honorary Canons of the Cathedral of the Incarnation are named by the Bishop of Long Island, and are appointed in recognition for their exceptional and outstanding service to the diocese, cathedral or the wider Episcopal Church.
The Canons are an important link for the cathedral - the diocese's Mother Church - to all corners of the diocese. The presence of the cathedral as a part of the witness and ministry of each canon lets every member of the diocese know that they are welcome here, in their cathedral.
