WELCOME TO ST JOHN’S ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL, BRISBANE
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.
Peace,
Peter Catt +
Dean of Brisbane

OUTREACH – DECEMBER 2018
CHRISTMAS BOWL APPEAL:
“Love your neighbour as yourself.”
Hospitality and gift-giving are some of the great hallmarks of the Christmass season, as are the gifts of hope, peace, love, joy and light.
During this time we invite, or are invited, to share food and gifts with family and friends, to share love and joy.
As Christians, we are invited to look beyond those among our immediate family and friends, and to recognise the face of Christ in and through the situation of the vulnerable, including the hungry, the sick, the stranger, and the refugee.
In the words of the Anglican Primate of Australia, The Most Reverend Dr Philip Freier:
“What joy we have in giving! The smile, the expectation, the delight, the gratitude of a life warmed and nurtured by the affection of the gift-giver. We share in the joy of gift-giving through the Christmas Bowl Appeal. It is part of my Christmas celebration. It is an aspect of my gratitude to God for the Incarnation, the coming of the Christ-Child, Emmanuel, God is with us. May God’s overwhelming generosity shape our generosity, that we join with God in ‘gift-giving’, that lives may be comforted and nurtured.”
Can we support the Christmas Bowl to bring hope, peace, love, joy and light to those who are displaced and disadvantaged?
