    Wasting Time with God: Spirituality and Cathedrals - Dean of Brisbane

    Wasting Time With God: Spirituality And ...

    When: 1st Wednesday of the months as listed below
    Time: 9.30am - 11.30am

    How often do we get time to "waste with God?" We all live busy, frenetic lives in which time with God can be sidelined, or put to one side. This series incorporates both a time of guided reflective meditation with silence, music and candles, combined with a guest speaker on a topic of spirituality and... There is also an opportunity to meet others on the spiritual quest over morning tea.

    Spirituality and Cathedrals

    'Stone into poetry (Rilke): The Spirituality and Ministry of Cathedrals'

    During the last decade attendances at Cathedrals in the Western world have increased. Many  postmodern people feel that they want to belong to the church without being heavily involved. Cathedrals allow people to remain 'anonymous' or worship in peace. Cathedrals are also large worship spaces that 'speak' of the awe, wonder and transcendence of God., yet they need constant (and costly) maintenance programs. Seekers, tourists and those looking to find solace often find themselves drawn to this sacred space. But, Cathedrals are the 'mother churches' of the Diocese. How does a Dean balance all these conflicting views of the role of a Cathedral?
