At the Seamen's Church Institute, the status quo is not good enough. What we have successfully accomplished is satisfying, but our culture very much includes expanding programmatic successes. That is why an SCI committee underwent a comprehensive year-long Strategic Planning review. The Committee studied what our needs might be 10 years out It also attempted to evaluate the changing needs of those we serve during that same period. Not much stays exactly the same for 10 years . We focused on what can be expected to change, internally and externally, and how we should position the Institute to meet these changes.

In the summer of 1941, the console was taken to Skinner’s fac- tory in Methuen for releathering and the ad- dition of four more general pistons, bringing its total to six. During this period, a tempo- rary Everett Orgatron rented from John Wanamaker, New York, served as the cathe- dral’s musical instrument. Reinstallation of the relocated divisions of the pipe organ in the newly modified Great Choir chambers also took place during this period, and the temporary wall was finally demolished, re- vealing for the first time the new vista of the cathedral’s Nave, Crossing, and Great Choir. The festival service celebrating the comple- tion of the Nave and Choir remodeling was held on November 30, 1941, a week before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that took the United States into World War II. Ralph Adams Cram and Ernest M. Skinner were both in the procession. By the end of the war, the tonal design of the Skinner organ had become somewhat dated with the development of the “Ameri- can Classic” style of instrument that was then becoming fashionable. Perhaps more importantly, the cathedral’s interior had grown dramatically in size from when the original organ was installed. After its rein- stallation in 1941, the 1910 organ was found to be at a disadvantage in the greatly ex- New console panded cathedral’s new acoustic.
