Spiritual MOTs 2025

We are often very conscious of our physical health. We have the chance for health check-ups at the GP; we can get fitness tests at the gym. As people of faith, our spiritual health is something we should take seriously too, but often we don’t have much opportunity to think about our faith and prayer life, or talk through any issues we might have.

This Lent, we are again offering members of the Cathedral congregations the opportunity for a ‘spiritual MOT’. This is a meeting lasting about 45 minutes with a member of the ministry team, in which you can explore your spiritual journey and discuss its joys and challenges. In no way is it a test of your knowledge or holiness!

Please note: the conversation will be in complete confidence between you and the person you see.

To take up this opportunity, please complete this form by Sunday 23 March

Before your meeting, please take some time to think about what it will be helpful to talk about. You might find it helpful to consider:

• Where your spiritual journey began and where it’s brought you so far;
• Any particularly significant moments or stages in your journey of faith;
• What your usual practice of prayer is;
• Your patterns of reading the Bible;
• Any struggles you have with prayer or faith;
• Any ways you think the Cathedral could help you develop your life of faith and prayer.

But the time is yours: a chance to talk honestly, openly and in confidence about the things that matter, and to seek to grow closer to God.

You will be contacted to arrange a time to meet.
