The product of religious controversy and the turmoil of the English Reformation, the Book of Common Prayer has become deeply engrained in English culture and within the English church. It remained virtually unchanged for nearly four centuries but over the past hundred years has been challenged by new ideas about liturgy and the development of alternative ways of worship. Yet it still retains a special place in the hearts of those who love the Church of England.
At the Cathedral Fellowship members of the congregation meet old friends and make new ones. If you are new to the Congregation, it’s an excellent opportunity to meet new people and to begin to feel at home. We meet once a month for a talk or presentation on a wide range of topics, some of which are related to the Cathedral and Christian belief and practice and others are of more general interest. All our presenters are informal and approachable. There are no tickets and no membership, though we ask for a donation to cover expenses.
We generally meet either in George Bell House, 4 Canon Lane or in Vicars’ Hall (do check the venue) with the talk followed by questions and discussion and the all-important cup of tea. We start at 2.15pm and the gathering lasts about 75 minutes.
Everybody is very welcome.
