  • The Church That Is Now Bristol Cathedral Was Originally An
    Bristol Cathedral – architectural overview Jon Cannon – Keeper of the Fabric Overview This paper briefly sets out the history of Bristol Cathedral, by summarising the key events and figures which have shaped its past, and by identifying the main architectural and artistic features of interest. Bristol cathedral is the seat of the bishop of Bristol and the heart of a diocese which, today, includes Bristol, and much of south Gloucestershire and northern Wiltshire, including Swindon. It stands on a site which has been sacred for a thousand years or more. Ancient origins The cathedral originated as an abbey on the edge of what was, in the twelfth century, a prosperous and growing merchant town. The knoll on which it stands appears to already have already been the site of a holy place: the cult of St Jordan, the legend of which, only attested in the fourteenth century, takes the story of site back to St Augustine of Canterbury and the earliest days of English Christianity, and the survival of a magnificent eleventh-century sculpted stone, now in the cathedral, is proof that a church of some kind predated the abbey. Foundation of the abbey began in 1140. Large portions of the resulting church – especially the remarkable chapter house -- survive to this day. The monastery was a daughter house of the Augustinian abbey of St- Victor in Paris though almost nothing is known of its earliest canons. For the next four hundred years it was, while never of dominant significance in the town, by some distance its largest religious institution, as well as being the most important Victorine house in England (and one of the wealthiest Augustinian houses of any kind).

  • Training in Partnership with Local Churches at Trinity We Believe That Ministry Training Is Best Done in Partnership with Missional Contexts
    Training in partnership with local churches At Trinity we believe that ministry training is best done in partnership with missional contexts. Ordinands will be members of a church, usually in small teams, to provide practical and contextual experience throughout their training. Some independent students also choose to integrate academic learning and practical experience in this way. There are a rich variety of parishes available to you from villages near Bristol to city centre churches and from wealthy suburbia to more deprived estate ministry with a variety of worship styles and traditions too. The objective is to provide you with sustained engagement in a church and the local community where you have opportunities for contextual and collaborative missional experience, including: preaching, worshipping, leading, getting involved in the life of the church, engaging with the local community and integrating theory with practice.

Everyone will be asked to mark their foreheads with a cross at home, using a variation of the traditional words: 'This cross is a reminder that I am dust and to dust I shall return. Through God's grace may I turn away from sin and remain faithful to Christ.' Usually, last year's palm crosses are burnt to produce the ash used on Ash Wednesday but this is too messy and dangerous to do at home, so a video is on the Cathedral website, in which Canon Nicola demonstrates how to 'ash' ourselves.
