Tonight Fr Steven spoke at the Cathedral as part of their “Mystics, Theologians and God-Botherers” series.

Steven reflected on the question, “What might vulnerability have to do with faith?”, drawing on the research of Brené Brown and her work on courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy.

It was a thoughtful and engaging reflection that offered plenty to ponder about what it means to be vulnerable, both as human beings and as people of faith.

All that I serve will die, all my delights,
the flesh kindled from my flesh, garden and field,
the silent lilies standing in the woods,
the woods, the hill, the whole earth, all
will burn in man's evil, or dwindle
in its own age. Let the world bring on me
the sleep of darkness without stars, so I may know
my little light taken from me into the seed
of the beginning and the end, so I may bow
to mystery, and take my stand on the earth
like a tree in a field, passing without haste
or regret toward what will be, my life
a patient willing descent into the grass.

+ Wendell Berry
1934 - 2026

Today is Papua New Guinea Martyrs Day.

On 2 Sep each year, we remember the courageous sacrifice of those local and expatriate Martyrs who, in the face of great danger, remained committed to the communities they served in PNG.

We honour their memory through the Martyrs Gift – supporting education, strong leadership and brighter futures for our neighbours in Papua New Guinea.

🙏 Honour their legacy today - please support the Martyrs Gift:

Prayer for the people of Nepal and Tibet (from our diocesan liturgical committee)

Gracious and loving God, our lives are in your hands. When we are overwhelmed with grief and shock, confronted by mortality and the fragility of life, for others and for ourselves, remind us of your presence with us. We pray for the people of Nepal and Tibet, for all whose lives were suddenly taken; for those who remain lost in the turmoil; for their families and friends, nearby and across the world; for first responders and aid workers reaching out in care; for generosity and compassion from world leaders and all who have capacity to respond; and for those who will commit to the long term rebuilding of lives.

Challenge our complacency about climate change and the devastation brought about by human activity across the world. Comfort the people of Nepal and Tibet, bring them peace, and disturb our complacency, so that we will be agents of transformation and signs of your compassion, your love and care. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
