Our Bishops' Lent Challenge This Year Raises Awareness of Environmental Our Bishops’ Lent Challenge this year raises awareness of environmental issues. Few of us can be unaware of the critical and urgent environmental challenges facing the world. Christians are rediscovering that caring for the creation God brought into being, and which God loves, is a vital part of our mission, as well as being an issue of justice. Our programme for Lent 2020 offers a range of opportunities to engage with this challenge: on your own, with others, listening to sermons and addresses, attending presentations, reading a Lent book, sharing in a Home Group, or giving up something for Lent and supporting a charity. The Church of England’s national Lent campaign is available in various formats: social media, an app, daily emails and booklets. Search for #LiveLent: Care for God’s Creation Lent Sunday Sermons and Meet the Preacher Following the 10.00 am Sunday Service you are welcome to discuss the sermon with the preacher over coffee or tea.

Charity in Lent Our Bishops suggest these environmental causes as options if you wish to reflect love for God’s creation in your Lenten giving. Please do let the charity know you are giving as a result of the Diocesan Lent Challenge. The Bishops’ Environment Fund This new fund for environmental initiatives will provide small grants of up to £250 within the Diocese to be administered by the Diocesan Environment Group. Your gifts to this fund will enable small grants to parishes for projects focusing on our mission to care for God’s creation. Details on how to give at www.cofesuffolk.org/bishops-lent-appeal-2020 A Rocha UK is the charity behind the Eco Church Scheme. The scheme is free to join, but not free to run. Details on how to give to A Rocha can be found at www.arocha.org.uk/donate Christian Aid work in developing countries to mitigate the effects of climate change.

  • St Edmundsbury Cathedral Tower Tour
    St Edmundsbury Cathedral Tower Tour The Gothic-style lantern tower which now dominates the skyline of Bury St Edmunds was completed in 2005 and stands one hundred and sixty feet high. This tower was described by HRH the Prince of Wales as “A spiritual beacon for the new Millennium” 500 Years to a Tower The nave of the Cathedral was originally St James’s Church, built in 1503 on the site of a previous church also dedicated to St James, constructed by the Abbey for the use of the townspeople. The sixteenth-century work was started by John Wastell (1460 – 1518) who was a master mason at the Abbey. Other works attributed to him are the Chapel of King’s College, Cambridge, and the Bell Harry Tower at Canterbury. In 1914 the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was created and St James Church was chosen to be the Cathedral, with the Bishop residing in Ipswich. In the 1940s the architect Stephen Dykes Bower was engaged by the Cathedral to begin planning the expansion. Work on the east end began in 1960 and the crossing was completed in 1970. Unfortunately, a lack of funds prevented the addition of a tower, or indeed the completion of the cloisters, the north transept or the Chapel of the Transfiguration. Above the crossing there was a simple ceiling. In 1994 Stephen Dykes Bower passed away, leaving the Cathedral a substantial legacy with which to finish the north transept. At this time, the Millennium Commission were on the search for projects to support in celebration of the millennium.

The Dean a) Review Chapter’s role • The Dean noted concern that the Chapter could grow increasingly concerned with detail and operational matters as opposed to visionary and strategic matters. He noted the importance of non-executive members holding the executive members to account, and consideration of how these members work together. Chapter has a limited amount of time and energy and that this could become dissipated from vision and strategy if there is too much focus on detail. • He agreed that Chapter should be kept well informed, and sometimes operational detail is necessary to achieve this, but that a higher level of scrutiny on a visionary/strategic level needs to be maintained.
