Join the Cathedrals Canon Chancellor, the Reverend Dr Earl Collins, for a reflective and engaging study day that takes some of the most searching questions of Christian faith seriously.

Set in the welcoming and contemplative surroundings ofGeorge Bell House, this day offers space to think deeply, listen attentively, and speak honestly about God, Jesus, and what faith means for real life today.

Designed for anyone who is curious, thoughtful, or simply wanting to explore the foundations of Christian belief more deeply, the day combines accessible teaching with open conversation. No prior knowledge is needed, and there is no expectation to arrive with ready-made answers.

The sessions will be interactive, with input followed by questions and discussions. Participants need only bring themselves. We will work through relevant biblical passages, and some reading material will be provide

The study days run all day on each of the following dates and includes both sessions listed below.

Tuesday 30 June: Who is God anyway?

In this session we will look at how 'God' has been viewed by some Christian thinkers and grapple with issues like: what do they mean by 'God', how do we speak about God at all, and does the notion of God help us live dignified, beautiful, and worthwhile lives?

Tuesday 14 July: What difference does Jesus make?

At Easter we sing, 'What good would life have been to us, had Christ not come as our redeemer?' Looking at the New Testament witness to Christ and based on his name and titles 'Jesus, Christ, Lord' we will ask key questions about who he is and what difference he makes for living and dying.
