St John's Cathedral
Welcome from the Dean

This day the earth became Heaven for us.
Not because the stars decended from the heavens to earth but because the apostles ascended to Heaven by the grace of the Holy Spirit, which was now abundantly poured forth, and so the whole world was transformed into heaven.......

Such was how John Chrysostom, fourth Century Archbishop of Constantinople abd legendry preacher, captured the feast of Pentecost.

For there was found a tax-gatherer, and he was transformed into and evangelist.
There was found a persecutor, and he was changed into an apostle. There was found a robber, and he was led into Paradise.
There was found a prostitute, and she was made the equal of virgins. There was found wise men, and they were taught the Gospels.

St John's words remind us that the Christian faith is about transformation, the excerising of hope and the celebraion of potential.

Evil fled away, and gentleness took its place.
Slavery was put away, and freedom came in its stead. And all debts were forgiven, and the grace of God was conferred. Therefore Heaven became earth.....

St John's Community seeks to be a transforming community, an agent for good and for the pursuit of justice. as such we welcome with great enthusiasm some recent announcements:
The the Venerable Kay Goldsworthy is to be consecrated Australia's first female Bishop in Perth,

And that the current Governor of Queensland, Ms Quentin Bryce AC, is Australia's first female Governor General designate.

We see these as signs of the healing kingsom of God breaking through. Pentecost continues to unfold.

We trust that you will enjoy your pilgrimage through our website, and if possible join us in person sometime for worship or fellowship.
