Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral

We humans have a remarkable capacity for hope. We hope that our lives will improve. We hope that our children will have a bright future. Often our hopes are despite the evidence - so we hope for peace in Syria, and we hope to win the lottery. Our ability to hope even in the face of life's difficulties and painful experience is part of our religious impulse. Hope is central to religious faith. For Christians, God always gives hope, no matter how bad the situation. "With God, the worst is never the worst." That's not blind faith in spite of the evidence. It is looking pain and suffering, even death in the face and still believing that God is present. As Desmond Tutu said "Good is stronger than evil; love is stronger than hate; light is stronger than darkness; life is stronger than death." People find space for their hope in St Edmundsbury Cathedral. You are welcome to be hopeful too.
