On Wednesday, Nov 12 at 11 am EST, the Cathedral will host the funeral for world-renowned ethologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE. Dr. Goodall’s life and work made an indelible mark on our understanding of humankind and the environments we all share.
Initially recognized for her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees, Dr. Goodall's observation of tool-use in non-human animals is known as the moment that "redefined humankind." This finding was followed by many others during her research of wild chimpanzees, including the existence of strong mother-infant bonds, meat-eating and hunting, primitive warfare, altruism, and compassion. Dr. Goodall’s findings influenced fields of human health, evolution, and ecology.
The public is invited to watch the service online via YouTube or on the Cathedral's website. The Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde and the Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith will officiate the service, with the Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde serving as preacher.
