Christ Church has a proud history of preaching stretching from our foundation in 1546 to the present day. John Wesley, possibly the most famous preacher of the last five centuries, was educated at Christ Church along with his brother, and both were ordained in this cathedral. Here you will find the most recent sermons by our Cathedral clergy and other guest preachers.
