Christ Church Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral in Victoria, British Columbia. It is the third cathedral built after the first was damaged by fire. The first cathedral was built in 1856, which was later destroyed by fire, and the second, built in 1872 became inadequate as it could not accommodate large number of worshippers. The present cathedral was built in 1929, at 930 Burdett Avenue, with the west front facing Quadra Street. The church looks beautiful at night with the twinkling lights.
Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria has witnessed several changes in the past, some of which had a major impact on the society and the people of Victoria. The major upheaval of Christ Church's history occurred in 1874 when Edward Cridge - the first Dean of Victoria entered into an argument with his bishop over churchmanship. The Dean opposed several ritualistic tendencies of the then Bishop of Columbia. Ultimately with the help of many of Victoria's leading figures, Cridge established Church of Our Lord under the auspices of the Reformed Episcopal Church where he and his loyal former Cathedral congregation were able to continue in the evangelical tradition that were previously present at the Cathedral.
The current Dean of British Columbia and Rector of the Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria is the Very Rev. Logan McMenamie. Visitors coming to this stunning city, certainly offer their prayers at this church.
