Lent begins Wed. Feb 22We enter Lent on Ash Wednesday, Feb 22 at 7:00pm, with a service of Imposition of Ashes. We will welcome ceramicist, anthropologist and theologian The Rev Holly Ratcliffe as our guest preacher. Holly is visiting Victoria through a residency at the Centre for Studies in Religion and Society (CSRS) at UVic. Holden Evening Prayer will return on Wednesday evenings in Lent (through March), along with a bible study on transforming the traditions we've received. More details to follow! It's also time to sign-up for this year's Lent Madness - a light-hearted competition to determine the most saintly of saints! |

St George's Rocks - One Visitor's ImpressionLast Sunday one of our visitors was retired Anglican priest, Ken Gray. Ken will have been known to many of us from his ministry here in the Diocese; it was lovely to welcome him and his wife, Kathie, back to the island. Ken published his impressions of St George's 10 o'clock service in his blog and it provides an interesting read. |

A Christianity to Call HomeAugust 6-12 (Week 5) Recent census data reveals that over half of the population in BC identify as ‘no religion.’ People who have spent some or all of their life in Christianity feel less and less at home there. For 60 years, many have imagined that Christianity isn’t so much dying as going through a once in an epoch shift. Join Bp Anna and Rev Christine for a week of theological exploration towards A Christianity to Call Home. We’ll revisit some of the progressive theological texts of the 20th century (Religionless Christianity, Secular City, Honest to God, Comfortable Pew) to see what they have to say to us 60 years later. We’ll also tune into some of the theological voices of our own age (Richard Rohr, Ilia Delio, James Smith, Christina Cleveland, Kate Bowler and others) to see what new life-giving theology is emerging in these turbulent 2020s. CLICK HERE for registration information for this and all of Sorrento programs. |
