Dear Friends, As we approach the coming weekend, we are once again facing a Sunday without being able to physically join our local communities. Whilst we know that the Church is not just a series of (now closed) buildings, it is difficult to not be able to pray and participate in services in one place. However, we have been heartened by the work being done by so many of you to create ways of enabling Christian communities to meet online – whether through celebrating services on Zoom, holding pastoral Skype calls or creating social media prayer resources. Thank you for helping your communities to find ways of encountering God’s love at this most difficult of times. Today, the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of England have written to all clergy to offer some suggestions for ways in which we can continue to minister to our communities (paying attention to those with access to the internet, as well as those who do not) at the present time. You can read the letter here and we hope you will find it useful. Ahead of this weekend, Bishop Tim and his wife Sally have recorded a communion service, which you will be able to view on our Diocesan YouTube channel from Sunday morning. Please do share the link so that we can still join together as one Diocese in prayer even though we cannot see each other in person. In addition, Winchester Cathedral is hosting a daily video reflection and prayer, which you can access here . Each day you will find a new prayer and reflection from members of the Cathedral community, which we hope you will find helps to provide some spiritual nourishment over the coming days and weeks. With our prayers for you all, Bishop Tim, Bishop David and Bishop Debbie And the Bishop’s Staff Team: Andrew Robinson, Diocesan Chief Executive Catherine Ogle, Dean of Winchester Peter Rouch, Archdeacon of Bournemouth Richard Brand, Archdeacon of Winchester Mat Phipps, Bishop’s Chaplain .

Dear Friends, for Today's Update, Richard Brand, Archdeacon Of
Dear Friends, For today’s update, Richard Brand, Archdeacon of Winchester, has shared a reflection about the importance of self care as we approach Holy Week: One recent request I received was to fill in a questionnaire about clergy morale in the current crisis. Having spoken and listened to far more clergy than usual over the past few weeks I felt in a reasonable position to respond, and my basic response was that clergy morale was high, in fact, really very high. It has been immensely encouraging and often inspiring to hear of the creativity, ingenuity and sheer dedication with which clergy have adapted to a rapidly changing situation and adopted often unfamiliar ways and means of continuing their ministry. However, I wonder what the real effect of this adaption and adoption is? One person I spoke to said how ‘energised’ they felt by the new skills they were learning and by the community networks they were establishing; in the next phone call the person had been doing similar things but this time I heard a confession of exhaustion. Clearly different personalities are responding in different ways; another person in one breath said how as an introvert they certainly weren’t missing the tyranny of meetings but in the next added that they were finding the constant phone calls draining. Talking with colleagues we are finding that as clergy step up and respond with great faithfulness to our calling in these days, the suspension of so many of the familiar patterns is leading for some to suspending some of the usual time off and down time we all need.

Diocese of Winchester’S Companion Links, As Is Customary at Confirmation Services
The Benefice of St John’s Hartley Wintney with Elvetham, St Mary’s Winchfield and All Saints’ Dogmersfield The Institution as Vicar of The Rev’d Angie Smith by The Rt Rev’d David Williams Bishop of Basingstoke & Induction by The Ven Richard Brand Archdeacon of Winchester in St John’s Church, Hartley Wintney 9th December at 7.30pm This page would usually contain a biography of the person being instituted and installed, but I think most of you reading this will have heard enough stories about me, scattered through my preaching to stitch together a biography yourselves! If there are any gaps you could refer to the excellent article in Contact magazine by Irene Airton in November 2017 or ask a member of Revive or Naomi’s Watch who might remember a few stories I told them or disks I chose for my desert island. Instead, I thought I would just explain my musical choices for the service this evening because I think they say everything you need to know about me: I love the seasons in nature and the Christian calendar. The autumn falling of the seed to the ground and its springing up from the dark earth illustrates for us death and resurrection, supremely of Jesus, but also for so many things in our own lives, things we cling onto but have to allow to die for new life to come in their place. The Christian calendar ensures that we journey through the darkness and into the light, that we mourn and grieve and also rejoice and sing.

Brief History of Great Screen
A Brief History of The Great Screen of Winchester Cathedral by Jeannie Berridge Jeannie Berridge is a voluntary guide in Winchester Cathedral. Early in 2018, the Great Screen in Winchester Cathedral was thoroughly cleaned. The work was carried out by McNeilage Conservation, a husband and wife team based near Exeter; the effect has been dramatic as the screen had not been cleaned since the restoration of the late 19th century, and in places it was covered with a layer of dust half an inch thick. Before and after pictures are shown for the statue of William Waynflete in Figure 1. Fig 1.1 William Waynflete before cleaning Fig 1.2 William Waynflete after cleaning Photos: Simon Newman The Great Screen was probably planned during the episcopate of Cardinal Beaufort (1405-1447) but completed during the time Bishop William Waynflete was Bishop of Winchester (1447-1486). In many respects, the story of the Great Screen is mirrored in the wider history of Winchester Cathedral, starting with the great wealth and power of the medieval bishops, through to the destruction inflicted during the Reformation, and followed by years of neglect. Once religious images became widely accepted in the Church of England in the Victorian period, the screen was restored to something approaching its original form with new statues being commissioned to fill the empty niches. The Reverend David Warner, a former Winchester Cathedral guide wrote: “The wealth of Beaufort contributed to its splendour and the influence of Bishop Waynflete is evident in the moulding and decoration”. [1] This ambitious reredos was part of a wider design for the east end incorporating two further inter-related projects: a new shrine for St Swithun, and Cardinal Beaufort’s chantry chapel.
