Includes Easter Services and Events What s On? February April 2019

Welcome Come to your Cathedral this Spring as brightness returns to our lives, culminating in the glorious celebration of Easter. How will you prepare? Perhaps use Lent as a time of renewal and re-formation rather than any negative notion of rejection. Jesus died that we may live!

Lent and Easter LENT & EASTER Lent 2019: The God Question Science, God and the Search for Truth Can science and faith exist well together? The greatest challenge to belief is often thought to come from science. This series investigates whether 21st century science supports or removes the case for a creator. Each session begins with video input in which prominent atheists and theists take a scientific journey and debate the case for God. Topics include: The Cosmos do scientific explanations of the origins of the universe leave space for a creator? Life and Evolution must science and faith differ about the evolutionary process? Mind and Consciousness does the mystery of human consciousness point to God? Wednesdays from 13 March to 10 April, 7.30pm to 9.00pm The Jerusalem Room, 4 College Green, Gloucester For more details contact Canon Dr Andrew Braddock: abraddock@glosdioc.org.uk 02 GloucesterCathedral @GlosCathedral @GloucesterCathedral
