The Dean led prayers at Evensong this evening for all who were killed and affected by the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia today, and all in the Jewish community fearful this evening.

Everyone is welcome at all of these services.

As you look at the tree at the east end of the Cathedral, what do you see? Some see a woman praying, others one of the magi bringing their gift? What do you see?
