Home

St Edward's provides a Christian centre for spiritual seekers from diverse backgrounds, and fosters meditative Christianity, spiritual growth, and pastoral care. We are committed to Christ and celebrate the glory of the Christian tradition, but we try to be open to the Spirit of God everywhere, not only in the Church but outside it.
