The Annual Vestry Meeting is a very dull but very important part of our life together at the Cathedral. It gives us a chance to gather together and reflect on the year that has passed and to look forward to the year that lies ahead. It is also the time when we elect Cathedral Council Members and Wardens for the coming year.

This year we also hope to adopt the strategic planning document as our guide for life and ministry at the Cathedral for the next few years.

All members of the Cathedral are encouraged to come and be a part of the AGM.

All reports received so far are available for download.

Remember us, O God of the covenant. Your presence fills us with wonder and awe, your word gives us unshakable hope. Fix in our hearts the image of your Son in glory. Sustain us on the way of discipleship, so that travelling the path of your Son, we may pass over with him to newness of life. Enable us to be transformed, so that our lives speak of you to the world. Grant this through Christ, our deliverance and hope. Amen.

(The prayer of the week from our Lenten Study material – Catholic Ed. Brisbane Diocese)

We are meeting at 10.00am on Tuesdays and 7.30pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

If scholars are right—or even in the ballpark– by 2050, emergence Christianity will be the largest group among church cultures, says Phyllis Tickle in an interview with ThinkFwd host, Spencer Burke. That means larger than any particular denomination, and this change is occurring fast. Phyllis says she became aware of the “emergence church” only about two years ago, and the phenomena of emergence-, emergent-, emerging-church has only been around about four years. But Tickle believes that traditional churches have only about 18 months before the window of opportunity to reach out to emergence churches changes into a door of urgent, mandatory response to the changing paradigm of church as we know it.
