St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral, Carden Place is a welcoming and caring Christian community in Aberdeen City.
We are a church in the Scottish Episcopal Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney and a part of the global Anglican Communion. We meet in a building – known as the ‘Tartan Kirkie’ – as touched by history as it is accentuated by colour.
At whatever stage you find yourself in life, we welcome you to join us.
“For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.”
(Thomas à Kempis)

Latest Newsletter
- Newsletter – 13th October 2024Today’s gospel story makes me think of an interesting article on the internet that I came across recently, with this catchy title: “Jeff Bezos is hoping piles of money can buy never-ending life.” Jeff Bezos, of course, is the founder of Amazon, and one of the world’s richest people. He has more money than he will ever be able to spend. He has everything in this world that money can buy. He has even flown to space. But Jeff Bezos also knows what we all know: that he is eventually going to die. So, he is investing in a secret startup company that is researching anti-aging technologies. Money can buy many things, but it cannot buy never-ending life. Not yet. And I daresay, not ever. Eternal life remains out of reach for everyone, no matter how much money they might have. If Jeff Bezos can’t buy it, then neither can we, or anyone else. When it comes right down to it, death really is the great equalizer. We are all the same. We are all mortal. None of us will live forever. Not without Jesus. And so, everyone should be able to relate to the man in today’s gospel reading, who has many possessions, but knows that they will not lead to eternal life.
