The Prophetic Science of Carl Sagan
At this Choral Evensong at 6pm in the Cathedral, Rev’d Deb will explore the prophetic science work of Carl Sagan.
Carl Sagan (1934–1996) was an American astrophysicist, planetary scientist, and bestselling author who brought cosmic wonder to millions through his books and the landmark series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. He combined scientific rigour with a sense of poetic awe, famously describing Earth as a “pale blue dot” suspended in a sunbeam. A prophet of the atomic and space age, Sagan warned of technological arrogance, nuclear devastation, and ecological collapse. His legacy invites us to see ourselves not as separate from the cosmos but as star-born participants in its unfolding, called to wield knowledge with conscience and care for our fragile, shared home.

A Beautiful Lent (Lent study)
The liturgical year is not simply a cycle to observe or a set of traditions to maintain. It is a way of being formed—slowly, patiently, and ever more deeply—by the story of God’s love in the world.
Drawing on “A Beautiful Year” by Diana Butler Bass, this Lent Study helps us encounter the church year as a living rhythm that shapes perception, expands our faith, and widens our capacity for mercy and justice.
Through scripture, memory, and attentiveness to contemporary life, these reflections remind us that Lent becomes not a detour from ordinary life, but a way of inhabiting it more truthfully.
Tuesdays 10:30-11:30am with Rev’d Deb in the courtyard at Holy Spirit, Kenmore. Sign up at the back of the church or email rector@kenbrookang.org.au
