Our Bishops' Lent Challenge This Year Raises Awareness of Environmental
Our Bishops’ Lent Challenge this year raises awareness of environmental issues. Few of us can be unaware of the critical and urgent environmental challenges facing the world. Christians are rediscovering that caring for the creation God brought into being, and which God loves, is a vital part of our mission, as well as being an issue of justice. Our programme for Lent 2020 offers a range of opportunities to engage with this challenge: on your own, with others, listening to sermons and addresses, attending presentations, reading a Lent book, sharing in a Home Group, or giving up something for Lent and supporting a charity. The Church of England’s national Lent campaign is available in various formats: social media, an app, daily emails and booklets.

Festal Eucharist
St Edmundsbury Cathedral Festal Eucharist President: The Right Revd Dr Mike Harrison Bishop of Dunwich Preacher: The Very Reverend Joe Hawes Dean of St Edmundsbury 25 December 2020 Christmas Day 10.30 am Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral We celebrate today the wonderful mystery of God’s coming among us, fully human - as Emmanuel, ‘God with us’ - born of Mary. The celebration of Christ’s birth at Christmas is one of the two pillars of the Christian faith, and our Christmas services help us to recall, amid all the joyful customs and celebrations of Christmas, this central truth of the Word made flesh. The festival of the incarnation has been celebrated in the church since the third century. The Christmas crib and the nativity play can both be said to have originated from the tableau of Christ’s birth that St Francis of Assisi arranged when he celebrated Christmas at Grecchio in 1223. The Christmas season is often thought to be just a period of twelve days, ending with the Epiphany. The church nowadays, however, keeps a much earlier tradition in which the season lasts for a full forty days, ending with Candlemas, the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, in February. May Christmas bring to you, and all who you love, joy and peace as you ponder the mystery of Christ in our midst. The musical setting for today’s service is Missa Santi Nicolai by Franz Joseph Haydn, 1732-1809 Front cover illustration: The Nativity 2008 - abstract art by Will Humes, Lutheran Pastor. Members of the public are not permitted to take photographs or video recordings during services and events.

Joint Statement from Ipswich Christian Leaders- Final
Joint Statement from Christian leaders in Ipswich in response to the killing of George Floyd Friday 5th June 2020 The killing of George Floyd was a tragic act of violence that has revealed that racial injustices, amongst many other prejudices, are still present throughout society. George Floyd was denied the fundamental right to life, and his killing is an insult to the God-given dignity of every human being. George Floyd’s death has provoked anger across the world and we, as church leaders in Suffolk, join with those who call for justice. Many people in our community face racial discrimination every day. This discrimination, expressed in many forms, all too often goes unchecked. We must unite to call out racism wherever we see it and hold one another accountable for our words and actions. We reaffirm our commitment to eradicating all forms of racism in all parts of society because every human life is precious and honoured by God. We ask you to join us to shine as lights in the darkness, to uncover the forces of prejudice and discrimination that still divide our community. Signatories: 1. Pastor Harold Afflu (Lead Pastor, Ipswich International Church, Elim) 2. The Rt Revd Martin Seeley (Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Church of England) 3. The Rt Revd Mike Harrison (Bishop of Dunwich, Church of England) 4. Rev. Peterson Anand (Minister of Nansen Road Baptist Church, Ipswich) 5. Rev Nick Atkins (St Matthew’s Church) 6. Derek Austin (Churchwarden, St Mary’s, Witnesham) 7. Jim Bird (Churchwarden, St Martin’s Church, Tuddenham St Martin) 8.

He prepares us to understand how Jesus was persecuted and handed over to be killed. In the letter to St. James, he reminds us, where jealous and selfishness exist, there is disorder, but the wisdom from God is pure, peaceful, gentle, compliant and full of mercy and good fruit. In order for us to sow peace and good fruit in our hearts and in our daily lives, we have to cultivate that peace. The hard part is figuring out how to do that daily. We have to allow ourselves to be guided by him and not by this world. In today’s Gospel, Jesus shows us how he traveled with his disciples. Sometimes the best way to get to know someone is to travel with them and walk with them every step of the way.

6 October 2016 Dear Candidate, As Americans Across the Country
6 October 2016 Dear Candidate, As Americans across the country prepare to elect a new President and Congress, the Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture – two organizations that strongly support creative communities by working to protect creativity and encourage respect for copyright law – have partnered on letters (attached here) and a Change.org petition, to ensure that the views of the creative communities are heard. Signed by over 35,000 creatives, audience members, fans, and consumers, the letters recognize that the internet is a powerful and democratizing force, but also stress the need for a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative or libertarian, strong and effective copyright is not a partisan issue, but rather one that benefits our entire country. The letters and petition discuss the complementary relationship between a strong copyright system, free expression, creativity, innovation, and technology. The signers affirmed: • We embrace the internet as a powerful democratizing force for creative industries and the world at large. • We embrace a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. • We proudly assert that copyright promotes and protects free speech. • Copyright should allow creative communities to safeguard their rights against those who would use the internet to undermine creativity. • Creative communities must be part of the conversation and stand up for creativity. Sincerely, Ruth Vitale Keith Kupferschmid CEO, CreativeFuture CEO, Copyright Alliance Open Letter to 2016 Political Candidates We are members of the creative community. While our political views are diverse, as creatives, there are core principles on which we can all agree.

Festal Eucharist Easter
Festal Eucharist on Easter Day President: The Right Reverend Dr Mike Harrison Bishop of Dunwich Sunday 4 April 2021 11.00 am Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral A warm welcome to the Cathedral for this Easter Day Sung Festal Eucharist as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. The service today is led by the Bishop of Dunwich, the Right Reverend Dr Mike Harrison. At the start of today’s service, during the hymn, the Paschal Candle (from Latin Pascha for ‘Easter’) blessed at the Vigil and used at baptisms and special celebrations throughout the coming liturgical year, will be brought in. The Paschal candle contains a twofold symbolism. First, it represents the pillar of fire that went before the Israelites during their flight from Egypt. Second, it represents Christ, the light of the world, risen from the tomb, whose Easter life we celebrate throughout the coming weeks of the year. Alleluia! The service is sung by the Edmund Consort. We are grateful to our musicians for continuing to lead the music of our cathedral within current pandemic guidelines. Thanks go today to William Saunders who is overseeing our music at this time. Mass setting: Missa brevis ‘Piccolomini’ in C major, KV 258.
