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

OUR PLACE IN HISTORY:
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.

COVID-19 and our Life and Worship at St John’s
The COVID-19 virus pandemic is presenting a unique challenge to our life as a society and as a Cathedral community. As the crisis unfolds, we will be called upon to do things differently. The Cathedral team is continuing to develop ways for us to stay in touch with one another and grow in faith together during these challenging times. These developments will be shared over the coming days and weeks.

We offer both ‘in person’ and live-streamed access to the 7.30am, 9.30am and 6pm services each Sunday. The services are also recorded. The live stream and recordings can be accessed through the Cathedral YouTube Channel.
Studies and Meditation
These ware continuing. We are providing opportunities to join these ‘in person’ and on Zoom (via the internet) or a phone. Details to access the activities via Zoom can be found on the Cathedral website (www.stjohnscathedral.com.au/whats-on).

Peace,

OUTREACH – SEPTEMBER 2020
In September each year the St John’s Cathedral community supports the rainbow community as they celebrate Pride month. Although Pride month has been delayed this year because of COVID-19, we honour our commitment to our LGBTIQ friends by supporting Wendybird, a not-for-profit community group dedicated to building support for people of diverse bodies, genders, relationships and sexualities. Wendybird is a collective in which LGBTQI people along with their friends, families and children, find support, acceptance and respect.
The Wendybird collective was founded in 2014 by a group of volunteers intending to create positive and supportive connections through community spaces and events which respect and value difference. It was named for Wendy Morris, an LGBTIQ community member who died by suicide in January 2007.
Wendybird promotes the value of connection and belonging in the prevention of suicide among LGBTIQ people and their communities. The experiences of acceptance and belonging improve mental health, reducing the incidence of suicide.
As a not-for-profit community organisation, Wendybird relies on volunteers, donations and grants to deliver such projects and community events. Can we give $1,000 to help our Rainbow friends at Wendybird as they build acceptance, value and respect among people of diverse bodies, genders, relationships and sexualities? Donations to Wendybird are tax deductible.
Outreach envelopes are available at the Outreach Board. Please place your donation in a September envelope and place it in the collection plate or donation box. Cheques should be made payable to “COMMUNITY”. Alternatively use electronic banking to make a bank transfer to BSB 034 003 Account No: 385378; please narrate your deposit “Outreach 09” and also e-mail wardens@stjohnscathedral.com.au to inform us of your deposit (include the amount) and to provide your postal details for the receipt. For other forms of payment, please phone the cathedral office [(07) 3835 2222] during normal business hours Monday-Friday. Wendybird will provide receipts.
Donations to Wendy Bird are tax deductible.
Thank you
