Worship Under Gaia
The Season of Creation is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and to join our friends from the whole Christian family in prayer and action for our common home. The season would usually end on the 4 October but we are extending it until 4 November to acknowledge the presence of Gaia in the Cathedral. Our Eucharists during this time will celebrate the Season of Creation with special prayers.
