Faith is too often treated either as a matter of public morality or as an entirely private matter.  The Cathedral’s ministry of public theology seeks to offer an alternative point of view.

  • Our faith has something  important to contribute to our thinking about questions of public importance
  • The Church needs to find a way to be in respectful conversation with the broader community about such questions
  • People are actually interested in the riches of Christian scholarship, both historical and contemporary

A wide range of events and activities are offered throughout the year, responding to the concerns of our congregation as well as current events.

Public theology has been paused during Covid, but you can enjoy some past presentations here:
