in*SPIRE*ation: Terras Landscaping and EJE Architecture have created a "virtual spire" on the Cathedral Tower (Monday, 5th May to Friday, 15th May). The light simulation of the spire is being achieved by using Novalight High Ground searchlights located in the corners of the Tower. The "virtual spire" will give people the opportunity to visualise how the Cathedral would have looked with its intended spire.

Welcome to the Cathedral Church of Christ the King, Newcastle - the seat ('cathedra') of the Bishop of Newcastle - a site on which people have celebrated the truths of the Christian Faith for nearly 190 years.This great building reflects the sense of faith and hope of generations of Anglicans in the City and Diocese of Newcastle. Those who enter it today see the Cathedral restored and refurbished after the 1989 earthquake. It is a place of beauty and grandeur, built for the glory of God.

May the Lord preserve your coming in and your going out.

Graeme R. Lawrence
13th Dean of Newcastle

The Parish of Christ Church Cathedral Newcastle is the mother church of the Diocese of Newcastle within the Anglican Church of Australia
