From The Very Reverend Gerwyn Capon Dean of Llandaff

Dear Friends, It is odd how quickly bad news stories drop from view of the world’s media. I was sorting through old newspapers recently and could see that over the course of the summer we witnessed some dreadful tragedies; people in a crowd crushed by a lorry in Nice, the callous murder of a priest in Normandy, the killing of disabled people in a Japanese care home, bombings and loss of life in Mogadishu and Kabul and random stabbings in a square in central London. These brutal and barbaric acts of violence are never too far from our daily news and can leave us struggling with feelings of anger, sorrow and fear. How should the Christian faith respond? Tragic and violent death takes us to the very heart of Christian faith, to the Cross on which Jesus suffered. When we meet as Christians to share the bread and wine of The Eucharist, tokens taken by Jesus on the night before his death, we share these now as spirit filled channels of his life, real and present for us to take and make our own. This is at the centre of our worship and it is there to give us ultimate hope. Hope is different from optimism. Optimism is merely passive, expecting good to come, starting from somewhere else. Hope is active, working for good to come, starting with ourselves. Learning to live in hope is the calling of every Christian disciple. Last year in his own parish magazine, the murdered priest Fr Jacques Hamel wrote this; “Do not think holiness is not for us. Holiness does not mean doing extraordinary things. We are sons and daughters of God. It is by living this relationship, day by day, that we become saints.” Little did Fr Jacques know that within a year, his own life would be put on the line; yes as a saint, like all of God’s children, but also as a martyr. The time has surely come for us to stop believing that “we can’t be saints”, to stop focusing on what we think of as our lack of holiness. Instead, now is the time to offer the communities around us, our simple hope, and to witness to Christ’s love. 3

We may be unlikely to experience directly the violence that many people are facing all over the world. But there are other ways in which we need to witness to hope when it is given us to do so, in the face of prejudice, hatred, cynicism and despair. It is my hope that our Cathedral community and its parish may come to value itself as an open and inclusive church. But that will only be true if we all ground our inclusiveness in the values of the Gospel. If we all try to become more inclusive people, respectful, open and humble towards all, we will be well on the way to reject the power of fear and the hatred terrorists so want to inspire. Additional Notes from the Dean 1) Stewardship The PCC has decided to launch a campaign to help us all consider how we support the Cathedral’s ministry. That’s not just paying for the running costs of the building which are now costing less than we receive as income. That is cause for rejoicing and I think congratulations to all who work to achieve this efficiency saving. But the level of financial giving in the Cathedral does not at present allow us to extend our mission and outreach in the ways identified by the PCC, aspirations that will we hope, build and strengthen us. Additional financial commitment is needed to help meet our objectives for the Cathedral’s witness and mission. These chiefly involve building up resilience in terms of clergy and lay ministries of pastoral care, teaching and exploring faith particularly among the younger members of our congregation. Over the remaining part of the year and into the early part of next year, we will want to identify and explore further specific opportunities for mission and this will we trust, inspire members of our congregations to consider how they can commit to supporting the Cathedral’s aims. We give thanks to God for the generosity that is offered continuously by many people in their weekly and monthly giving. But we are trusting that God will prompt those who have not as yet considered a real financial commitment to the Cathedral, no matter how modest that might be. Please remember this vital campaign in your prayers and ask God for His blessing in it. Most of all, join me in asking God to help you consider how you too might respond in love towards His church. 4

2) This edition of The Bell, contains a very encouraging and thought provoking article written by Captain Sir Norman Lloyd Edwards, describing his experience at the Edington Festival this summer. He poses a question as to whether or not the reintroduction of Choral Matins at the Cathedral, might be a welcome development. As we continue to support Stephen Moore as our new Director of Music, I am mindful of course that he has a tremendous challenge ahead of him, encouraging the Cathedral Choir and extending their confidence as well as their repertoire. We must not run before we can walk! In principle, however, I am very supportive of the idea of holding Choral Matins when there is a fifth Sunday in the month. Like Sir Norman, I’d be very happy to receive comments. For obvious reasons, if I was to decide to try it as an experiment for a year, I need first to give our new Director of Music a chance to get the Choir up to speed before they are unleashed on the glorious repertoire of Choral Matins. 3) I am delighted to say that CADW have agreed in principle, to award the Cathedral a substantial grant towards the cost of internal stonework repairs at the level of the clerestory. It is my hope (since I write these words at the beginning of September - such is the editorial and printing deadline for the publishing of The Bell) that The Friends of Llandaff Cathedral will support the balance necessary to fund this work. However, it makes sense for us to consider other work at the same time, since the costs will be less with scaffolding already in place. The windows to the clerestory for example, require maintenance, and redecoration at high level would be a good idea. The Chapter and I are therefore intending to launch a fundraising campaign to help fund these additional works and I hope that very soon, I shall be able to list these under the advice of the Cathedral Architect. We are looking at the possibility of sponsorship from benefactors for each window in the clerestory. When we have a firm estimate of what the costs are, I intend to write again to gain financial support for this project. May God bless these endeavours. Gerwyn

LINEN and VESTMENT GROUP After our summer break, the group are meeting on Tuesday mornings in Prebendal House from 9.30am to 12 noon. Work continues on making new items - kneelers, cushions and other items for the Cathedral. Repairs are also carried out as and when necessary. The Dean recently blessed, at a Eucharist Service, the kneeler made in memory of George Frederick Smedley. The kneeler design was chosen by Barbara Smedley and funding for the kneeler was facilitated at the Auction of Promises, held a few months ago. New members and visitors are always welcome on a Tuesday morning. Elizabeth Evans  029 2082 8677 12

THE SHOP New Books at the Cathedral Shop Recent books by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, are on sale in the shop, including "Being Christian" which looks at Baptism, Bible, Eucharist and Prayer with "clarity, depth and simplicity" and “Being Disciples”, a gem of a book, a guide for the Christian journey, dealing with the essentials of Christian life. Other theology includes books by Esther de Waal and the ever-popular C.S. Lewis, while "Blessings" by Mary Craig is considered a modern spiritual classic, the moving account of coming to a greater understanding of humanity through the lives of her two handicapped children. "Consecrated Spirits" is an anthology of spiritual writing by women through the centuries. There is a new booklet about the wonderful medieval wall paintings which are in the process of discovery and conservation at St Cadoc's, Llancarfan, as well as expanded versions of two earlier publications. "The Sins of St Cadoc's and their restorative virtues" by Ian Fell of St Cadoc's, former head of education at the National Museum, is as full of fascinating details and illustrations as are the others. All are priced at £3. The pocket size series "Pocket Prayers" is always in stock and has much to offer, with "Pocket Prayers for Troubled Times" seeming a particularly apt choice at present. On a lighter note, 2016 is the centenary of the birth of Roald Dahl and Llandaff, of course, was the scene of his earliest schooldays, and provided the vital spark for a number of his books. One of the new publications to mark the anniversary is an Oxford Dictionary aimed at the 8-11 age range, which includes Dahl words as well as conventional language with examples taken from the books. Published by OUP, illustrated by Quentin Blake, and at the shop's price of £12.50, this might be a good present for a child who loves Roald Dahl's stories. With Christmas approaching look out for books for gifts, not forgetting the Cardiff Calendar, which, as always, includes a photograph of the Cathedral. [As a result of retirement and holidays, we need help to man the shop. We work shifts of 10-12pm, 12-2pm & 2-4pm, Full training is given if you can spare two hours a week, a fortnight or a month.] Mary Madsen and Pam Barlow 13

EDINGTON I recently attended one of the days of the Edington Music Festival Within the Liturgy. This is held in the large Priory church of a very small Wiltshire village, near Chippenham, over five days at the end of August each year. It consists of morning and evening services including the Solemn Eucharist, Requiem, Compline, Solemn Evensong etc. sung by two choirs at each service. The one consists of choristers and lay clerks from some eight cathedrals (many years ago two of our choristers were invited to join) and the other is formed from students at Oxford and other universities. They make the most glorious sound. Entry is of course free but the congregation is invited to make a contribution by Gift Aid to cover the cost of travel and accommodation, etc. One of the Festival's guiding lights is Canon Jeremy Davies, a former chorister and priest vicar in Llandaff, who later becoming Precentor at Salisbury Cathedral before his retirement, whom we were delighted to meet afterwards. The choice of music is eclectic, ranging from Bach to Tavener, Purcell to Parry, Jackson to Rutter, Mozart to Howells. The day I attended it was Choral Matins, when we heard works by Benjamin Britten, Byrd, Stainer and others. I realised that it was a very long time since I had heard a Venite, Te Deum, Benedicite, or Jubilate in Llandaff Cathedral and we are missing so many wonderful settings and anthems. Our library contains great works by Sumsion, Darke, Stanford and many others. I wonder therefore if occasionally we might hold Choral Matins at 11.00 on a Sunday - such as the Fifth Sunday in the month. That would only be five times a year. This was the pattern in the 1980s. It should be remembered that the 12.15 service was only introduced when the 11.00 was not a Eucharist to cater for those who could not make the 08.00 or 09.00 communion. What do others think? 14

When we had Matins, many non-Anglicans attended who did not come when it was a Eucharist and it would be good to welcome them back. Incidentally we were surprised to see in the church a magnificent tomb of "Sir Edward Lewys of the Vane in the County of Glamorgan" who died in 1630. Enquiries have revealed that the Vane is actually the Van, Caerphilly. The Lewis/Lewys family records show that a son settled in Edington. Sir Norman Lloyd-Edwards
