Vision Our Vision is to discover and live out the beauty of holiness.

Mission Winchester Cathedral as dedicated to the Holy Trinity, seeks in its life to reflect the dynamic love of God revealed in Christ, through being both a servant of others in their journey of faith, and of the world in its search for meaning and inspiration, reconciliation and wholeness.

Purposes To be a community of worship, witness and welcome with Benedictine priorities.

To witness beyond the life of the Cathedral to the universal identity of the Church.

To be a sign of the Kingdom to which God is calling through commitment to justice, the integrity of creation and healing of individuals and communities.

To release and enable within a caring, learning environment, the gifts of all members of the Cathedral community (lay and ordained, staff, volunteers and members of the worshipping community).

To work for collaboration, cooperation and effective communication at all levels of Cathedral life and beyond.

To conserve and develop the beauty of the buildings, Cathedral Office contents and estates within our care. 9 The Close Winchester Hampshire SO23 9LS To thrive and not just survive. Tel: 01962 857 200 [email protected] www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk
