The Anglican Cathedral of Second Life

About the Cathedral

Welcome Image 3

Welcome to the Anglican Cathedral of Second Life! We are a distinctively Anglican church within the virtual world of Second Life with worship spaces, services and events which are open to all who wish to visit. Our vision is to build an Anglican church in Second Life which gives those involved in Second Life an opportunity to explore or deepen their faith in God, who loves them and seeks a relationship with them.

You can read our complete vision statement here.

What do we do?

The Cathedral

The Cathedral

We have changed and grown a lot since our Second Life ministry began in June 2007. Anglican worship services are held daily on Epiphany Island: in the cathedral or in our smaller Meditation Chapel. A weekly Bible study is held on Sunday mornings (in Second-Life Time), and other courses and discussion groups are occasionally hosted on the island.

Prayer doesn’t only happen during these times, though. Many people visit our worship spaces at all hours (we are always open!), and we have an active ministry of prayer support and pastoral care to the residents of Second Life.

How to Participate

At the moment the Cathedral is having a rebuild, but we hope you will stop by our temporary site and visit us sometime, either to join us in worship or enjoy the peace and quiet. We have prepared a Visitor’s Guide to the Cathedral and Epiphany Island and this will be updated when the new Cathedral is fully up and running. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the members of our Leadership Team, either in-world or through the contact information given on the Leadership Team page.

Our worship spaces, services and events are open to all who wish to visit. If you are not yet a resident of Second Life, you can learn more about it and register free at the official Second Life website.

  7. We really need to update this video tour of Epiphany Island, as there have been many developments since this was made. Hopefully it could include a little bit from an actual service, preferably including sound or text.
    Is there anyone with the necessary skills who would like to volunteer their services for this. It would be greatly appreciated.

  8. Ha! That will teach me! All I had to do to get the answer was read more!! As if being a Christian, I don’t already know that if you want the answers, all you have to do is read!!! 🙂

    • Glad you found the answer you need, Elexxsis. Lots of services going on on our sim, Epiphany Island. You will be very welcome if you visit us.

      Mark may read this (it would be nice if he saw the compliment) but he is no longer the priest-in-charge of this ministry. He’s busy developing lots more new exciting things online. The ministry continues to be run by a Leadership Team. Do feel free to contact us here or in world if we can help you further.

      • Thanks for answering,but I don’t play the game! Mark is one of my friends on FB and there must have been a link or something leading me to here somewhere, and that’s when I asked the question. Thank you for answering.

  9. Hi Mark,
    Beautiful virtual church!
    Wondering, do you also hold service there, or is this just to plant the seed or thought of church in game play?

  10. There is much to ponder …
    Online church can help those
    who are unable to get out of the house,
    because faith is not in the buildings, in the people.

  13. Oh no, Kate! If you want to try it again, you might want to use this link:

    This will land you right at the cathedral. Once you get there, let us know and we will show you around!

  14. I joined SL quite a while ago and couldn’t find a way to get off the silly island that all the newbies ended up on!! Oh well.
