St John’s Cathedral is home to a community which seeks to bring the best of Anglican tradition into dialogue with the issues and needs of our day.
We strive for open-minded conversation, seek to practice inclusion, and reflect on how we might see our beliefs put into action. We want this to be a place where people are encouraged to seek God and progress their own spiritual journeys.
The Cathedral itself, a renowned Brisbane landmark, serves as a magnet, where diverse people gather to worship, celebrate, seek solace, converse and learn.
For details of special events and concerts at the Cathedral please see the WHAT’S ON page. You may find information about our regular worship times on the SERVICES page..
Peace,
Peter Catt +
Dean of Brisbane

THE CATHEDRAL and DEANERY HERITAGE APPEALS
The National Trust of Australia (Queensland) has listed The Cathedral and The Deanery (Adelaide House) because of their significance to the heritage of Queensland and Australia more broadly. Adelaide House was the first Government House when Queensland was created on 10th December 1859. The balcony on which Sir George Bowen read the proclamation that day has been the subject of a great deal of work to restore it to a stable and safe condition. The cathedral is the only stone-vaulted church in the Southern hemisphere and is highly regarded as a sublime example of neo-gothic architecture. Donations to the Cathedral fund are used to enhance and presence the fabric of the magnificent building.
Donations to the National Trust of Australia (Queensland) for these appeals are allowable as deductions for tax purposes.
Find out more on our DEANERY APPEAL page.
Welcome. “On the Way” is a series of recorded conversations (podcasts) exploring the deeper mysteries of faith, meaning, and beauty that people from all over the world are able to listen to on their smartphone or computer.
The podcast invites others who are also “on the way” into conversation; seeking a transformative spirituality and inclusive faith that speaks to real issues of today. Together in dialogue and storytelling we seek to make meaning and articulate a Christianity that expresses the liberating and life-giving message of the Gospel in our time.
Links to the published podcasts may be found at here. Note that these are hosted externally by Omny Studio and will open in a new browser tab.
You can also download all the podcasts from the iTunes store, or using your preferred podcast App, including Android. Search by the names “On the Way” or “St John’s Cathedral” and subscribe for free to receive these great conversations straight to your device every month! CDs are also available for those who are unable to access the podcasts online and these are available on the Literature Table in the Cathedral.
To find out more, contact the Cathedral Office by email or phone 3835 2222 during business hours.

July Outreach
Anglicans in Development
The Holy Land Institute for the Deaf
The Holy Land Institute for the Deaf (HLID) is in Salt, Jordan. The school was established in 1964 as a K – Year 12 and young adult boarding school. It also has outreach programs to Syrian refugee camps in Northern Jordan. Run by the Anglican Church, it is a school where Deaf, Deafblind and hearing children learn side by side – an act of peacebuilding itself.

Last year Cathedral Council voted to support Saviour Arab Evangelical School, Jordan, the Diocese of Jerusalem as the July Outreach project. Since that vote, ABM Anglicans In Development is instead prioritising The Holy Land Institute for the Deaf. Although we previously supported this program in April we have chosen to align this month’s Outreach through Offerings with the priorities of ABM and so, again we invite you to engage with this project and to support it with your prayers and donations as you are able.
With the current conflict in the Middle East families are left with uncertainty and fear. This appeal will be supporting the needs of some of the most vulnerable in the region. Working with the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem and the Middle East, ABM supports the work of the HILD which offers its hearing-impaired, deaf and deaf-blind students not only a quality education but also a full range of wrap-around support services. As a Diocesan school HILD also seeks to engender in students a spirit of peace, respect and cooperation – all based on Christian values. (www.j-diocese.org).
The Deafblind department of the Holy Land Institute for the Deaf is the only place for deafblind children in the Middle East to receive an education.

Last year, the institute became the first integrated school in Jordan, bringing together children who have long lived in parallel but separate worlds. Their classrooms are places where reconciliation is taught in every shared activity, every gesture of sign language, every moment of learning.
(Education – The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem)
In a region where fear threatens to divide communities, the Holy Land Institute for the Deaf is shaping a generation that sees one another not as strangers but as companions.
The money that we give will help to provide:
Now more than ever our generosity is a powerful act of solidarity – a way of offering what the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, The Most Reverend Dr. Hosam E. Naoum, calls “the sanctuary of Christian love.”
Can we raise at least $1,500 for The Holy Land Institute for the Deaf?
Donations of $2 or more to ‘Anglicans in Development’ are tax deductible. You’ll find Outreach Envelopes for July at the Outreach Board. Please: give your Outreach Envelope with your offering, into the Donations Box, to a cathedral warden, or to the Cathedral Office Monday-Friday.
Using electronic banking: BSB 034 003 Account No: 385378; (narrate your deposit “Outreach 7″) and email outreach@stjohnscathedral.com.au so we can include your donation in the monthly total. For both cash and bank transfers, please provide your postal/email details if you want a receipt. Receipts will be issued by ABM, probably about August-September. Cheques: payable to ‘Anglicans in Development’. For other payments, please phone the cathedral office [(07) 3835 2222] during business hours Monday-Friday.
Thank you.
