God: who, what, where, why and… if?

Val Webb

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.

At last, work has begun.

The last time there was this much scaffolding on the Cathedral was thirty five years ago.

After twelve months of hard work, grants from the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation and the NT Government and the generosity of Cathedral Friends from all over Australia, work has begun on a major restoration and renovation of Christ Church Cathedral. Costing over $600,000 the project will at last fix the leaks that have plagued the Cathedral since it was built over thirty years ago, repair the damage to the interior, upgrade the electrical system and see the addition of wide tropical verandahs along the Northern and Southern sides of the building.

Once the work is completed, the Cathedral will be more useable, have a smaller carbon footprint and show the whole of the Darwin community that we are committed to remaining a vital spiritual heart in the Darwin CBD.

We still need to raise $50,000.00 to complete this important project. If you would like to donate using our secure on-line facilitiy use the button (left) or you may like to send a cheque to the Christ Church Cathedral Building Appeal, GPO Box 181, Darwin, NT 0801
