Our Primate, The Most Rev. Linda Nicholls, and Lutheran Bishop, Susan Johnson, have put out a call for Canadian Anglicans and Lutherans to join in a day of prayer and fasting. On February 16, 2024 everyone is asked to join together in prayer and fasting for peace in Israel, Gaza, and the Ukraine.

As part of that day, Christ Church Cathedral will be holding prayers for peace at Noon. For more information on this event please call the Cathedral Office or visit their website by CLICKING HERE. They plan to hold weekly Friday at Noon prayers for peace throughout Lent.

For decades we’ve been wondering and worrying about our young people leaving our beloved church. For 4 Wednesday mornings this Lent, join Bishop Anna and Christine Conkin to explore the social, spiritual, religious and theological movements of the late 20th century. What happened in the wake of the great optimism of the 1960’s? Why haven’t any of the many approaches we’ve tried to engage young people over the decades worked in the long term? And finally, what are some of the emerging ideas and practices of 21st century Christianity and beyond? Where might we go from here?

Dates: Wed. Feb 28, March 6, 13, 20

Time: 9:45am - Coffee and light snacks; 10:00-11:30am program

Where: St George's Cadboro Bay

Zoom option available here.
