This was discussed by the Association’s Standing Sub-Committee in February when it was decided that the Newsletter should continue in a paper format (as well as being on-line) so all members could readily browse through it at tower ringing.

  • March-2019-News.Pdf
    Cathedral News March 2019 – No. 683 From: Canon Chris Palmer, Canon Chancellor Lent is desert time. Jesus went into the desert to encounter God in a deeper way – by reducing the stimuli from the outer world, to heighten his awareness of God’s presence, desire, and grace. And the desert was also a place of temptation, because it is usual when we seek to encounter God in a heightened way for the impulses that draw us away from God to become heightened too. God invites us also into the desert. At times we use the desert as a metaphor for the arid times that come upon us; but in Lent the choice for the desert is intentional – a decision for ways of being, praying, serving and so on that lead us on a truer path of following Jesus. For this reason we are using this Lent to launch the Cathedral’s Rule of Life. This is an invitation to our whole community to embrace a simple commitment of discipleship: ‘As those who share in community at Exeter Cathedral, we commit ourselves to: - worship with others, pray daily, and read the scriptures regularly - grow in faith and in love for God, and discern where God is calling us - give of our time, energy, skills, and resources in service of one another and the world - care for ourselves as beloved children of God and be accountable for living this Rule of Life’ There is more detail in a special booklet which accompanies the Rule of Life, both of which are available at the Welcome Desk, the Stewards’ Desk, and, on Sundays, from the Cathedral Community Information Table in the South Transept from 3rd March.
