context_page_description: St Andrew's Cathedral is a cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney in the Anglican Church of Australia. It should not be confused with the nearby Catholic St Mary's Cathedral. The cathedral is the seat of the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney and Metropolitan bishop of New South Wales, currently the Most Reverend Glenn Davies, elected August 2013. The dean, appointed in May 2015, is the Very Reverend Kanishka Raffel.
  The St Andrew's has an Evangelical ministry, holding services every day, including a weekly healing service. There is a cathedral choir of men and boys who sing during term time, as well as a company of bell ringers. The notable pipe organ has been restored and is regularly used for recitals and concerts.
  Designed primarily by Edmund Blacket on foundations laid by James Hume, the cathedral was built from 1837 to 1868, and was ready for services and consecrated in 1868, making it the oldest cathedral in Australia.
  St Andrew's is one of the city's finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture. Joan Kerr described the cathedral as "a perfect example of the colonial desire to reproduce England in Australia in the mid nineteenth century."
