St Mary’s Courses
Exploring Faith: Taster Session
Christianity is weird. It’s an unusual way of living and looking at the world. It has its own language and customs. And, that’s part of what attracts many to it. It’s also why some get flustered … or run in the other direction.
For folk who want to examine some of the issues raised while walking the Christian path, St Mary’s Cathedral offers a five-session course exploring some of Christianity’s unconventional approaches and addressing some of its extraordinary claims. Those looking toward Holy Baptism or Confirmation might find this a way to prepare for that. Others may simply want to join out of curiosity. All welcome to the ‘taster session’ (at which the remaining four meetings will be scheduled) on Sunday 8 March, following the 1030 Eucharist.
