I’m so glad that you’re considering joining our senior team, and please be assured of our prayers for you and the other potential candidates as together we seek God’s man or woman for the post. This is an exciting time in the diocese, with the launch of the vision of a Transforming Church, Transforming Lives in 2016 leading to significant new missional energy in many of our churches, chaplaincies and schools. It’s been especially encouraging to witness the development of around 80 new worshipping communities since the launch, including four major projects in areas of new housing. Over the past eighteen months we have moved our diocesan teams into new, attractive, open- plan offices on the University of Surrey Research Park; and more recently we have embarked on a major review of the services we offer, seeking to ensure that our diocesan strategy gets well embedded, that our resources are efficiently managed, and that Church House Guildford is genuinely scratching where the parishes are itching.

In the Autumn of 2016 we launched our diocesan vision, Transforming Church, Transforming Lives, encour- aging a deeper dependence on God in prayer, a focused attention to Parish Development planning and 12 Diocesan Goals as a framework for all of our mission here in Guildford. This has been well- owned from the start, not least because around 2000 people fed into the process through a SurveyMonkey and a series of clergy meetings and deanery prayer events; and at the heart of it is a commitment to growing ‘prayerful, con- fi dent disciples in daily life’, as expressed in the fi rst and most important of the Diocesan Goals.

Guildford Cathedral is a modern expression of this traditional sacred space: consecrated in 1961, it is the newest Church of England cathedral. It is rooted in local identity and the living memories of many through the ‘brickgivers’ who helped fund its completion. At the heart of cathedral life is a pattern of regular worship offered to God.
