The preaching of the Word of God is a significant feature of all of the Cathedral’s main services, especially on Sundays. Most of the sermons are preached by the resident clergy of the Cathedral but we also welcome the bishops of the Diocese and guest preachers — both lay and ordained — from near and far.
We endeavour to provide both written texts of our sermons (linked from the Title) and YouTube audio recordings (linked from Audio Available column)
