Christ Church Cathedral stands in the heart of the commercial and shopping centre of Montreal. The imposing neo-Gothic building, completed in 1859, was designed by British architect Frank Wills.Both in its situation and in its life and teaching the Cathedral tries to represent the faith and tradition of Christianity and Anglicanism, interpreted in and for the modern (and post-modern) world.

Reflecting Together on Social Justice and Faith
Sunday, January 22, in Fulford Hall
Simple lunch at 11:45; discussion at 12:15 Dear Cathedral Parishioners and Friends --
Your new Social Justice Action Group would like to invite your input into our process of developing a statement articulating our church community's vision of social justice. This will be a time where we can explore together our different ideas of what "justice" means, and how a sense of justice connects to our faith. For some of us, it may mean thinking about those issues for the first time. For others, it may mean sharing motivations that have been very important in our lives but that our cathedral friends may or may not already know.
For this meeting, we'd like to ask you to bring a verse from the Bible or liturgy that is relevant to your understanding of social justice, and a short sentence explaining one important thing you think or feel about social justice. Please bring your texts on paper so we can collect them at the end of the session. Vous pouvez également apporter vos textes en français. (It's perfectly OK to come to the meeting without a prepared verse and sentence too!)
We'll share our verses and sentences, and talk about themes that emerge. In the process, we hope we'll get closer to a shared vision of social justice for our community, and also come to know each other better. This is simply a first step. It's our committee's intention that regular theological reflections on justice, open to and involving our whole community, should go hand-in-hand with actions we decide to take.
This meeting will follow the January 22nd 10:00 AM service.
The discussion facilitated by Janet Dench and Beth Adams will start at 12:15.
We hope to see you there!
