Yet we who live in the northern hemisphere can’t help but notice each year that during Lent the days are getting longer and warmer, and flowers and leaves are shooting again. Each of us is heartened by these things – and for me this mood also fits the character and purpose of Lent.

While I’ve sat through many sermons extolling Event Theme 2017 how much has been gained through ‘brokenness’, I’m not a believer in the virtues of misery. Sorrows Our event theme this year is 'Memory and come to us all, but they are not to be sought. So, Identity'. The aim is to explore and raise questions even though the Psalm with which we begin Lent about memory and identity as individuals, groups each year is 51, which in Latin begins ‘Miserere’, and as a Christian community.

As people of faith, our roots are always in tradition – the places and patterns and language by which we have learnt to conceive of the things of God. We need a lively and healthy engagement with our traditions, much as we do, say, with our own parents and grandparents: we don’t always do things their way, but it’s best to know why!

So our Lent programme this year is based on a kind of constructive looking backwards, to the Jewish ancestry of our faith, and at the roots of our main act of worship. Details are available in the Cathedral and on our website; please participate as you are able, and help tease out the many ways in which our personal and collective identities are rooted in memory. And Whatever gets taken away during Lent is done in rejoice that Lent is a positive, not a negative, order to help that simple, clear vision, by which we experience. benefit from seeing truth, and in particular home truths, better.

First Evensong The Cathedral Youth Choir sang Evensong in the Cathedral for the first time on 6 February. Ian Wicks, their Director writes: It has been wonderful to see and hear the progress of the Youth Choir since its formation in September 2016. In December they took part in the performance of Handel’s Messiah with the whole Cathedral Choir. This was a truly inspirational experience. It has been a privilege to introduce the choir to the service of Evensong. It looks effortless when we watch the Cathedral Choir sing, but when you start from scratch you find that there are many pieces of music to learn and conventions to understand.

The Cathedral Youth Choir is open to all aged 13-18. There are no auditions or subscriptions. Chorister Promotions The choir rehearses in the Cathedral School on Tuesdays from 18:00 to 19:00.

In one sense the Cathedral is the same as any other church – each of us is invited to make our own, personal 'Pledge to Pray' online via thykingdomcome.global – but we also want to embrace the remarkable opportunities we have in a place that attracts so many visitors.

Everyone who enters the Cathedral will be welcomed with a Lord’s Prayer bookmark, and there will be opportunities through video, art, and conversation (we hope Salisbury Street Pastors will be in the Close) for visitors and regular worshippers alike to engage with this life – changing prayer.
