Encountering God in the Language of the Senses

Encountering God in the Language of the Senses

Before belief is articulated, it is often sensed; Anglican worship engages the whole body through sight and sound, movement and stillness, word and symbol—forming faith through rhythm, space, and shared practice as much as through explanation. This session offers a gentle introduction to sensory faith before turning to the Theology of the Thurible, exploring incense, smoke, and the tools of the craft, their theological meaning and liturgical use, and concluding with a hands-on opportunity to make some smoke and practise the art of swinging a thurible. Presented by Kevin Lapthorn —a session for trainee thurifers and the curious alike!!

Encountering God in Space Exploration

Encountering God in Space Exploration

Rev’d Deb will preach at a service of Choral Evensong at St John’s Cathedral on the prophetic science 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)
Feb
17

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

Advent Study: Listening to the Music of the Soul

Advent Study: Listening to the Music of the Soul

Bishop Guli Francis-Dehqani draws out the connections between the magnificat, advent themes and her own experiences - and invites us to do the same. She explores how angels continue speaking to us today; how fear of what might happen prevents us from living well in the present; how daring to dwell in darkness and silence can lead to new life; and how important it is to find light and space, signified by the candles of Advent. Each chapter is linked to a piece of music, as per her popular broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.
