The Commemoration of

Sunday 27 September 2020 11.00am Welcome to Cathedral

Set on the south bank of the in one of the most vibrant and diverse communities in London, this building has been a constant witness in a place of change. The first church was built on this site around the year 606. First a convent, then a monastery, it became in 1106 the Augustinian Priory of St Mary Overie. With and St Bartholomew the Great in Smithfield it is one of the three remaining great monastic churches of London. At the Reformation the Priory became a parish church and it remains so for the people of Bankside. In 1905, as south London was rapidly expanding, the church was consecrated as the cathedral for the new of Southwark. As well as a place of constant witness to our faith in Jesus Christ, this church has a momentous and proud history and has had links with many famous and influential characters including St Thomas Becket, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Charles Dickens. In the 20th century this cathedral was at the heart of the new movement in theology termed ‘South Bank Religion’. This movement asked challenging questions of people about faith in the modern age which continue to be explored at which describes itself as ‘inclusive: faithful: radical’. Whatever has brought you here today, you are most welcome.Become part of the life here if you can; it will change your life as you encounter with us our living God. — Setting · Igor Stravinsky Today we commemorate Bishop Lancelot Andrewes. Born in 1555 in Barking, he studied at Merchant Taylors' School and then Pembroke Hall, . After , he held several posts before accepting appointment as bishop, first of Chichester, then of Ely and finally of in 1619. Andrewes was present at the in 1604, which furthered the reform of the Church of , and he was also a translator of much of the of what is known as the 'Authorised Version' of the Bible. His preaching and his writings proved highly influential and his holiness of life and gentle nature endeared him to all who met him. He died on this day in the year 1626 and his remains lie in this cathedral church which was then in his but now is the cathedral for the diocese of Southwark.

Today we also celebrate our membership of the Community of the Cross of Nails. The cross stands before the and we will use the Litany of Reconciliation said by all the churches, institutions and individuals within the Community each Friday. We pray for the whole Community around the world. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Coventry Cathedral and it is, literally, from the ashes of the cathedral that the Community arose.

The Litany of Reconciliation of the Community of the Cross of Nails

Led by Helen Shipley.

All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.

The hatred which divides nation from nation, race from race, class from class: All Father, forgive.

5 The covetous desires of people and nations to possess what is not their own: All Father, forgive.

The greed which exploits the work of human hands and lays waste the earth: All Father, forgive.

The envy of the welfare and happiness of others: All Father, forgive.

The indifference to the plight of the imprisoned, of the homeless, the refugee: All Father, forgive.

The pride which leads us to trust in ourselves and not in God: All Father, forgive.

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God forgave you.

May the Father forgive us by the death of his Son and strengthen us to live in the power of the Spirit all our days. All Amen.

Let us pray.

Lord God, who gave to Lancelot Andrewes many gifts of your Holy Spirit, making him a man of prayer and a pastor of your people: perfect in us that which is lacking in your gifts, of faith, to increase it, of hope, to establish it, of love, to kindle it, that we may live in the light of your grace and glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

We sit for the readings

8 First Reading Isaiah 6. 1–8

Read by Charlie Bell.

A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another and said:

‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.’

The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. And I said: ‘Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!’

Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: ‘Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.’ Then

9 I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I: send me!”

This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God.

Psalm Psalm 25. 1–9

Sung by the Consort.

Unto thee, O Lord, will I lift up my soul; my God, I have put my trust in thee : O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies triumph over me.

For all they that hope in thee shall not be ashamed : but such as transgress without a cause shall be put to confusion.

Shew me thy ways, O Lord : and teach me thy paths.

Lead me forth in thy truth, and learn me : for thou art the God of my salvation; in thee hath been my hope all the day long.

10 Call to remembrance, O Lord, thy tender mercies : and thy loving kindnesses, which have been ever of old.

O remember not the sins and offences of my youth : but according to thy mercy think thou upon me, O Lord, for thy goodness.

Gracious and righteous is the Lord therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

Them that are meek shall he guide in judgement : and such as are gentle, them shall he learn his way.

All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth : unto such as keep his covenant, and his testimonies.

Second Reading 1 Peter 5. 1–4

Read by Barbara Duncan.

A reading from the First letter of Peter.

As an elder myself and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I exhort the elders among you to tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God

11 would have you do it—not for sordid gain but eagerly. Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades away.

This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God.

We stand for the reading of the .

Alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia!

Jesus said, ‘The kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.’

Alleluia, alleluia!

12 Gospel Matthew 13. 44–46, 52

The Lord be with you. All And also with you.

Hear the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. All Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus said to his disciples:

‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. And he said to them, ‘Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.’

This is the Gospel of the Lord. All Praise to you, O Christ.

We keep silence and then stand

The Creed

All We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.

14 On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

We sit or kneel for the prayers.

Anthem Ave Maria · Igor Stravinsky

We stand for the Eucharistic Prayer

16 The Eucharistic Prayer

The Lord be with you All and also with you.

Lift up your hearts. All We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. All It is right to give thanks and praise.

It is truly right and good, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. For he has named his Church the salt of the earth and light of the world; a city set on a hill which cannot be hidden. Within this faithful company your servant Lancelot Andrewes became a learned teacher and pastor through the gifts of the Holy Spirit of Christ, that all might welcome his teaching as your gift, a beacon on the path of holiness that leads to eternal life.

17 As now we celebrate his memory we join with angels and archangels and all who have served you on earth and worship you now in heaven to raise our voices and proclaim your glory for ever praising you and singing:

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

We praise and bless you, loving Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord; and as we obey his command, send your Holy Spirit, that broken bread and outpoured may be for us the body and blood of your dear Son.

On the night before he died he had supper with his friends and, taking bread, he praised you. He broke the bread, gave it to them and said: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.

18 When supper was ended he took the cup of wine. Again he praised you, gave it to them and said: Drink this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

So, Father, we remember all that Jesus did, in him we plead with confidence his sacrifice made once for all upon the cross. Bringing before you the bread of life and cup of salvation, we proclaim his death and resurrection until he comes in glory.

Great is the mystery of faith: All Christ has died. Christ is risen Christ will come again.

Lord of all life, help us to work together for that day when your kingdom comes and justice and mercy will be seen in all the earth.

Look with favour on your people, gather us in your loving arms and bring us with Mary the mother of Jesus, Lancelot Andrewes and all the saints to feast at your table in heaven.

19 Through Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory are yours, O loving Father, for ever and ever. All Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer

As our Saviour taught us so we pray. All Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

20 Breaking of the Bread

We break this bread to share in the . All Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one bread.

Black History Month

Sundays 4–25 October

Each year we keep Black History Month but this year we will be doing more than we have done in previous years. The death of George Floyd in the USA gave a renewed commitment to address the issues of racism and racial inequality in our societies and institutions. #BlackLivesMatter has caused us to consider our history and our present practice, who we are and how we live and to look at who

30 we memorialise. As part of the commitment of the Chapter to be a Cathedral community 'inclusive : faithful : radical' the 6.00pm services each Sunday in October will focus on the stories we have to tell. The Dean has conducted interviews with four members of the congregations at the Cathedral and St Hugh's and these have been combined with readings, prayers and music. The stories are powerful and moving and we are grateful to our friends for telling us their story.

We begin on Sunday 4 October with a service entitled 'The Shadow of Slavery' featuring Eric Collins, a member of the Cathedral Council, who was raised in the southern states of the USA ... but he will tell his own story.

These services will be online and will replace Night Prayer in October. They will be on Facebook, YouTube and via the Cathedral website: cathedral. southwark.anglican.org/worship-and-music/ worship/live-service-stream/

31 Congratulations

Congratulations to Amanda Hill and Fr David Adamson who were married in the Cathedral yesterday. This was a real Cathedral family wedding - Amanda is a member of the Chapter and David is our curate! They are in our prayers and we surround them with our love.

Where do we go from here? Churches, communities & buildings during COVID and beyond

The impact of COVID-19 on churches across the country and the community activities which they host and support has been huge. A national confidential survey has been launched to capture grass roots needs and priorities and to support future care for congregations and communities. It will also help government understand more fully the importance of churches to the life and wellbeing of communities across the country.

This national project is a partnership between the Church of England, Historic England, the Association of English Cathedrals, the Historic Religious Buildings Alliance, and the National Churches Trust.

32 A small number of churches and cathedrals have been selected to act as Case Studies with answers from clergy/other staff, church members, and local communities being brought together to get a valuable snapshot of the impact of COVID-19 in particular situations. Southwark Cathedral is one of this special group.

The aim of the survey is to help the Church of England nationally and locally to:

1. Assess the range of effects of COVID-19 and lockdown on churches as centres of worship and hubs of support, care, community activities and well-being

2. Share creative responses

3. Shape planning and future decision-making
