Christianity is based on two simple beliefs. Christians believe, firstly, that human beings are not alone in the universe, and that life makes more sense when lived in response to God. Secondly, they believe that God has made himself known through Jesus Christ. The rest of Christian doctrine and theology builds on these two convictions.

The result is a faith whose core values are generosity, forgiveness and hope. It is also a faith in which story is more important than dogma, as we try to make sense of our human story by holding it up to the light of the Jesus story.

The Cathedral building tries to reflect these truths in its size, its beauty, and its ‘otherness’. It is a special place which can help people to become more aware of the presence and reality of God. That encounter with God is as much a possibility today as when the Cathedral was built.
