During a recent Messy Cathedral event at Christ Church Cathedral downtown, children were encouraged to bowl in the aisles, have snacks in the pews and try their hand playing the baroque-style organ. There were crown-making stations in the shadows of the Gothic arches and rubber duckies in the baptistry.
“It’s quite a rebellious act,” Matthews said. “Church doesn’t have to be a stuffy thing.”

The Synod Office is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk), at a place called Tio’tia:ke (Montreal), a meeting place for many First Nations, including the Haudenosaunee (Six Nation Confederacy), Anishinabeg and Algonquin peoples.
We recognize and respect the Kanien’keha:ka as the traditional stewards of the land and waters of Tio’tia:ke.
Our acknowledgement stands as a promise to continue the ongoing work of recognition and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
