Sustain them, O Lord, in your Holy Spirit. Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works. Amen.

This prayer is said for people when they are baptised for we know that the life of faith is one of change and growth.  At Christ Church Cathedral, we offer a variety of opportunities throughout the year for adults (baptized or not) to explore their faith in an open and creative atmosphere.  Together, we reflect on our own experiences, study Scripture, and listen to what theologians and scholars have to teach us.

We don't promise to provide easy answers but we do promise good company in the asking of good questions!

Faith Formation

Each year, there are opportunities for adults to deepen their faith through the study of central topics of Christian teaching.  These courses also serve as preparation for adults and older teens seeking to make a public commitment through baptism, confirmation, reception to the Anglican communion, or reaffirmation of their faith.

 

Bible Studies

At the moment, the Cathedral offers two Bible study groups which meet regularly.

Pain, Partage, et Prière

The French-language sharing and bible study group meets every two weeks at 10.00 a.m. after the 09.00 Eucharist.  More information can be found here (en français).

Brown Bag Bible Study: Brokenness and Healing: Prophetic Voices, Tuesdays at 11:00, on Zoom.

Where is God when the world is a mess? How do we learn to hear God's voice, among all the other voices falsely claiming to hold authority over our lives? This fall, the Brown Bag Bible Study will explore those questions through several smaller books of the Bible. Join us as you are able for a lively and open discussion. All are welcome; no prior knowledge is required.
