  Cathedral of Hope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cathedral of Hope is the home of the East Liberty Presbyterian Church in the East Liberty neighborhood on the east end of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This cathedral in the Gothic style was built between 1932 and 1935 with a donation from Richard Beatty Mellon as a memorial to his parents.
Among the distinctions of the Cathedral of Hope are the representation of distinctly Reformed themes in stained glass and statuary.

DALLAS — After a large majority vote last Sunday by members of the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas to disaffiliate from the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, Rev. Michael Piazza took an early sabbatical and tendered his resignation from the cathedral.
Piazza’s leadership was at the center of a conflict between the Dallas congregation and the MCC denomination.
“The Cathedral of Hope was a vital member of the MCC movement for more than 30 years, and we deeply value the passion and ministry they brought to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community as part of the MCC Fellowship,” Rev. Don Eastman, MCC vice moderator, said in a written statement.

The Cathedral of Hope considered disaffiliating with MCC several times over the past 10 years, according to Rev. Darlene Garner, the MCC staff person in charge of risk management who also headed the investigation over which Piazza resigned.
Upton, the Cathedral’s executive director and a Piazza supporter, told board members in May that Piazza’s $10,000 expense account is a designated portion of his salary, and that the board lowered Piazza’s salary by $10,000 when the expense account was created.
