Due to traffic restrictions in the CBD, to accommodate ANZAC Day commemorations, there will only be one service at the Cathedral this Sunday morning (April 25).

This Sunday (25 April) we will celebrate Holy Communion at 8.00am to enable those who wish, to attend the dawn service and/or the ANZAC march.

Regular services recommence on Sunday May 2, when we have Fr Michael Trainor (senior theology lecturer from South Australia’s Flinders University) as our guest preacher. Michael is visiting Darwin to lead the first in this year’s Cathedral seminar series: The Face of God in Jesus: Rethinking the Passion Narratives. Download information here.

The Cathedral Children made an Easter Garden

“Without equivocation or hesitation I fully and completely admit that I deny the resurrection of Christ.  This is something that anyone who knows me could tell you, and I am not afraid to say it publicly, no matter what some people may think…  I deny the resurrection of Christ every time I do not serve at the feet of the oppressed, each day that I turn my back on the poor; I deny the resurrection of Christ when I close my ears to the cries of the downtrodden and lend my support to an unjust and corrupt system.

“However there are moments when I affirm that resurrection, few and far between as they are.  I affirm it when I stand up for those who are forced to live on their knees, when I speak for those who have had their tongues torn out, when I cry for those who have no more tears left to shed” (Rollins 2009).

Pete Rollins, Orthodox Heretic quoted in the Dean’s Easter sermon.

Walking the labyrinth was one of the spiritual practices explored by participants in the most recent Quiet Day at the Cathedral. The Cathedral labyrinth is a 35 foot replica of the labyrinth that is set in the floor of the Cathedral at Chartres. Walking the labyrinth is an ancient practice used as an aid to prayer. Other practices explored at the Quiet Day were journalling, drawing and silence.

There are three more Quiet Days scheduled for this year – July 24, September 25 and November 27. Mark your diary and watch out for further information.

The labyrinth is also available for hire by groups wishing to explore this spiritual practice in another setting. It has been used a couple of times at the Darwin Women’s Prison and by the people at Nightcliff Uniting Church.

Please ring or email the Dean (8981 9099) if you are interested in hiring the Labyrinth.

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.
