The Cathedral Church Of Sunday 15 March 2020 COVID-19 IMPACT We are taking the threat of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic seriously, and are keeping a watching brief in line with Church of England and government recommendations. As has been advised, if you are exhibiting symptoms of the virus – a new, persistent, dry cough, or a high temperature – you are recommended to self-isolate for seven days. Beyond that, the best advice is to maintain hygiene by frequent hand-washing, and by engaging in “social distancing”. To that end we have introduced several measures to improve our social distancing while still holding services and enabling the Cathedral to remain open as a place of prayer. We very much regret that the following measures are necessary, but we are sure everyone will understand the necessity for these changes. Communion We will receive “in one kind only,” the common cup being suspended until further notice. Peace You are asked to avoid physical contact, in particular when exchanging the peace. Collection There will be a retiring collection at the end of the service, rather than a collection in the Offertory Hymn, to avoid handling collection bowls. Coffee Post-service coffee has been cancelled until further notice. Lent Lunch The Lent Lunches have been cancelled until further notice. For more information, visit nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19. Mark Read Right Through This year’s reading of Mark Right Through has been cancelled. To stay up to date with which events and services are happening at the Cathedral, check our website and social media channels for the newest information. Subsequent information in this news sheet is all subject to change due to the above. THIS WEEK Live Lent Bishop Viv’s Lent reflections continue at 6.30pm on Tuesday 24 March. All are welcome. Father Forgive: The Cathedral Lent Booklet Our Lent booklet detailing all our Lenten events including the Bishop’s Lent Reflections, and more, is available on the Literature Table. Concert Saturday 21 March, Brahms Requiem and Vaughan Williams Five Mystical Songs, Clifton Cathedral, 7.45pm, Bristol Cathedral Consort, Bristol Phoenix Choir, soloists are Helen Vincent (former lay clerk) and Alex Learmonth (regular Cathedral Choir deputy). Tickets from Opus 13 or ticket office 07811 730112. BEYOND The Sixteen We are delighted that The Sixteen will be giving a concert in Bristol Cathedral on Wednesday 22 April at 7.30pm. With this concert they will complete the impressive feat of performing in every cathedral in the country. Tickets are £15-£30 and are available from our website, bristol-cathedral.co.uk. GENERAL Bishop Lee +Lee would like to give his thanks for all those who have taken the time to send messages of support and prayer following his recent injury. Museum of the Moon You may have seen on our website and social media that in August this year we will be hosting Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon, the touring scale model of the moon that has been exhibited in several cathedrals across the country. A full programme of events and open evenings will be available in April. undivided In 2020 this series of talks and lectures looking at politics and the church in the current climate continues. We will be inviting distinguished speakers with theological expertise to help us reflect on today’s world and explore how the Church might be part of the solution given the challenges we face. Some of the talks will take place in the Cathedral (6.30pm after Evensong) but we are also looking to co-host the series with other venues in Bristol and elsewhere. To suggest speakers, pitch an idea or offer to host, please contact: Revd Canon Dr Martin Gainsborough, Diocesan Canon at Bristol Cathedral [email protected].

  • The Church That Is Now Bristol Cathedral Was Originally An
    Bristol Cathedral – architectural overview Jon Cannon – Keeper of the Fabric Overview This paper briefly sets out the history of Bristol Cathedral, by summarising the key events and figures which have shaped its past, and by identifying the main architectural and artistic features of interest. Bristol cathedral is the seat of the bishop of Bristol and the heart of a diocese which, today, includes Bristol, and much of south Gloucestershire and northern Wiltshire, including Swindon. It stands on a site which has been sacred for a thousand years or more. Ancient origins The cathedral originated as an abbey on the edge of what was, in the twelfth century, a prosperous and growing merchant town. The knoll on which it stands appears to already have already been the site of a holy place: the cult of St Jordan, the legend of which, only attested in the fourteenth century, takes the story of site back to St Augustine of Canterbury and the earliest days of English Christianity, and the survival of a magnificent eleventh-century sculpted stone, now in the cathedral, is proof that a church of some kind predated the abbey. Foundation of the abbey began in 1140. Large portions of the resulting church – especially the remarkable chapter house -- survive to this day. The monastery was a daughter house of the Augustinian abbey of St- Victor in Paris though almost nothing is known of its earliest canons. For the next four hundred years it was, while never of dominant significance in the town, by some distance its largest religious institution, as well as being the most important Victorine house in England (and one of the wealthiest Augustinian houses of any kind).

Please note that the list does not provide the contents of the records. Also, although it includes covering dates, the registers may not cover every year and there may be gaps in entries. In particular, there are large gaps in many of the bishop’s transcripts. Church of England records Parish registers We hold registers and records of parishes in the City and Deanery of Bristol (later the Archdeaconry of Bristol) which is part of the Diocese of Bristol. These cover: The city of Bristol Some parishes in southern Gloucestershire, north and east of Bristol A few parishes in north Somerset Some registers date from 1538, when parish registers were first introduced. Bishop’s transcripts We hold bishop’s transcripts for the areas listed above, as well as several Wiltshire parishes. We also hold microfiche copies of bishop’s transcripts for a few parishes in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Bishop’s transcripts are a useful substitute when original registers have not survived.

  • Training in Partnership with Local Churches at Trinity We Believe That Ministry Training Is Best Done in Partnership with Missional Contexts
    Training in partnership with local churches At Trinity we believe that ministry training is best done in partnership with missional contexts. Ordinands will be members of a church, usually in small teams, to provide practical and contextual experience throughout their training. Some independent students also choose to integrate academic learning and practical experience in this way. There are a rich variety of parishes available to you from villages near Bristol to city centre churches and from wealthy suburbia to more deprived estate ministry with a variety of worship styles and traditions too. The objective is to provide you with sustained engagement in a church and the local community where you have opportunities for contextual and collaborative missional experience, including: preaching, worshipping, leading, getting involved in the life of the church, engaging with the local community and integrating theory with practice.
