Cathedral Under Reconstruction
With work continuing on the Cathedral, I was reminded of this poem by Thomas Troeger and decided to post it once more:
Some said
there had been too much rain
and the roof
long cracked after years of stress
gave way from water seeping in
others said
what fell from the heavens
had nothing to do with it
that the earth had shifted
and the church walls
had pushed out toward the market
so that the massive mosaic icon
of the Almighty Father God
had fallen in and left
a hole
a silhouette of the figure
whose fierce eyes
once dominated the great domed ceiling
services now
were held under the God-shaped hole
prayers said
sermons preached
offerings made
hymns sung
infants baptised
couples wed

God: who, what, where, why and… if?
Dr Val Webb joins us at the Cathedral this weekend for a workshop on Saturday, and to preach at our Sunday morning service at 9.00am.
“God: who, what, where, why and if?” is the title of the workshop to be led by Val on Saturday, from 9.30am in the Cathedral Harbour Room.
Why not join us as together we explore questions about how and if we can talk about God, and as we wonder about what we might learn from and how we might speak with those from other traditions.
For more information, you can download a flier here.
Many of Val’s books will be for sale at discount prices, along with a wide selection of other books from the Cathedral Bookshop.
All Welcome.
