ST GEORGE'S ANGLICAN CHURCH VENICE
WELCOME...
...to all Christians of any Church or none, who want to find or to worship God using the English language. Your visit may be a virtual one on this website, or actual when you come to our adopted city.
We hope you will find, as many do, that St. George's provides a Christian experience in a familiar Anglican / Episcopalian setting, but one in keeping with our cultural surroundings. Here you can offer your thanks to the Creator in the midst of the glories of the art and architecture of the city, and reflect on how they might affect you in your own life.
You will be made very welcome at our Sunday services at 10.30 am. In the Anglican Tradition, Baptised Christians of all denominations who are in good standing in their own Church are welcome to receive the Eucharist.
For inquiries regarding Exhibition spaces for rent, events, concerts, please contact stgeorgesvenice[at]gmail.com

ART AND THEOLOGY SEMINAR
6 pm 30TH AUGUST 2022, ST. GEORGE’S ANGLICAN CHURCH, VENICE
The Rev. Dr. Alan McCormack is the Dean of Goodenough College, London, as well as an Anglican Priest at St. George’s, Hanover Square. He has helped us as a locum priest on many occasions at St. George’s, Venice, most recently last month.
During August, he will be visiting the Biennale with some of his doctoral students. The Director of Collections at the V & A, Dr. Antonia Bostrom, and the artist Mouna Rebeiz, will also be present. They have generously offered us a short early evening seminar on art and theology, with a specific exploration of the “transgressive” possibilities of their interrelationship. There will be no charge for the event, rather it will be a splendid opportunity for St. George’s members for some theological education and reflection.

The Churchwardens are delighted to announce the appointment of our new Chaplain: The Very Rev Lucinda Laird.
