We see this new senior role as vital to building up the capacity and sustainability of the cathedral’s ministry, and even more so as we emerge from some of the most challenging months the nation has known in peacetime for several generations. Wakefield Cathedral is not wealthy. In common with its sister cathedrals, it receives no statutory funding and is dependent on generating its own income to support its work. We are fortunate to receive discretionary funding from the Church Commissioners which covers around 30% of our current annual expenditure; the remainder is drawn from voluntary congregational giving, donations, grant applications, fundraising and income generated from events. The person appointed will undoubtedly need resilience and persistence as well as experience. They will also be joining a team of people fully committed to the flourishing of the cathedral’s ministry at the heart of the city and the wider Diocese of Leeds. I hope that the pack stimulates you to consider applying, and we look forward to hearing from you.

    REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association

    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

    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.

    Bradford Cathedral's Dean Jerry Lepine Is Setting Out

    Date: 29th May 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS RELEASE BRADFORD CATHEDRAL’S DEAN JERRY LEPINE IS SETTING OUT ON A PILGRIMAGE OF PRAYER TO SISTER CATHEDRALS IN WAKEFIELD AND RIPON. The Very Revd. Jerry Lepine, Dean of Bradford, will be marking this year’s ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ by visiting and praying at the three Cathedrals in the Diocese of Leeds as part of Bradford Cathedral’s Centenary celebrations. Dean Jerry will be visiting and praying at Wakefield Cathedral on Thursday 30th May, Bradford Cathedral on Monday 3rd June and Ripon Cathedral on Wednesday 5th June, at 3pm on each day. Dean Jerry is also inviting people from the Diocese of Leeds to come and join him during this pilgrimage of prayer. The period of ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer. Dean Jerry says: "As part of Bradford Cathedral's Centenary I am looking forward to praying in each of the three Cathedrals in this Diocese during Thy Kingdom Come. The Archbishops have invited us to make this period of time a focus for prayer, particularly praying that people will come to faith and I look 1 HOSPITALITY. FAITHFULNESS. WHOLENESS.
