Education and exploration are at the heart of our mission. Examining our faith and exploring its applications in the world is always timely, especially so with the impact of COVID-19. Be part of our mission through one or more of our online groups and events. We invite you to take a class or attend a lecture or program with our diverse, open-minded community and see where it takes you.
Engage in critical conversation on faith and contemporary issues with the Forum, and hear thought-provoking sermons by staff clergy and guest preachers, also available on iTunes, Spotify, and Youtube.
Our calendar page shows current offerings on book studies and spiritual practices; for questions about preparing for adult baptism, confirmation or reception in The Episcopal Church, please email the Rev. Mary Carter Greene at maryg@gracecathedral.org call (415) 749-6369.
