  • PR the Story of the Nativity
    Date: 27th October 2020 Isle of Man Post Office Issues The Story of the Nativity on Christmas Stamps 2020 6 Stamps Share a Collection of Beautifully Presented Artworks Depicting the Religious Story of the Nativity This year’s Isle of Man Post Office Christmas stamps, issued on 30 October, feature scenes and artworks inspired by the story of the Nativity. 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the consecration of the Cathedral Isle of Man. It is the cathedral church of the Church of England Diocese of Sodor and Man and was made a cathedral by Act of Tynwald in 1980. To commemorate this anniversary the Right Reverend Peter Eagles, Bishop of Sodor and Man kindly provided the issue text for this beautiful stamp collection. Issue Text Author the Rt Revd PA Eagles, Bishop of Sodor and Man, said: "These delightful Christmas stamps point to light and hope. The angel speaks of God’s presence in the world, and the simple shepherds are drawn to God’s light and love. Three Kings worship, representing the nations of the world. The light shines in the darkness, and the Mother cradles the Child in profoundest love. The eternal message of Christmas speaks to us today in these six beautiful designs." Nigel Godfrey, Dean of Cathedral Isle of Man, said: ‘It is good to have a stamp issue released on the 40th birthday of the Island’s Cathedral. The Cathedral was actually built a 100 years earlier to replace the ruined one on St Patrick’s Isle, but the driving force behind it - Bishop Rowley Hill died in office before the necessary legislation was passed by Tynwald, so it simply remained a parish church.

  • Anglican Cathedrals in the British Isles
    Anglican Cathedrals in the British Isles Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 Thousands of people are expected to visit English Cathedrals this Christmas for special services, carols and nativity plays. Figures produced by the Church of England in the annual ‘Cathedral Statistics’ suggest that Cathedrals continue to hold a special attraction in cities across the country. Christmas services in 2018 attracted 133,000 people but the numbers attending for services throughout Advent, including carol services, concerts and nativity plays topped 617,000. Attendance for Easter services was 58,000, with the numbers attending services in Holy week reaching 95,000. In total, almost 10 million people visited Cathedrals in England in 2018, a rise of almost one million on the previous year, with one third paying as visitors. The rise could be explained by extra events for the World War One Armistice Day commemorations, and by special events laid onto attract visitors such as art, music and space displays. But the number of people regularly worshipping in Cathedrals is much lower - only 36,700 people per week, down by 300 on the previous year, with attendance split evenly between Sunday worship and midweek services. EXPLAINER -- WHAT ARE CATHEDRALS? Cathedrals are the central churches in the dioceses or episcopal areas overseen by bishops. They are centres of learning, worship and Christian mission but also of the Anglican choral tradition, of living heritage and, even, tourism. Within each cathedral is the cathedra, the seat of the bishop and the Latin from which these central churches get their name.

    w Canon Precentor Information Pack A message from the Bishop and Dean Thank you for your interest in the post of Canon Precentor. This is a time of great opportunity for Wakefield Cathedral. As we begin to emerge from a tumultuous period in the life of our nation and the Church, we are being challenged to think afresh about the future shape of our ministry and mission. This thinking is informed by Chapter’s Strategic Vision, Firm in Hope, which was launched last Advent, and by the Leeds Diocesan Strategy, Maturing in Christ,which articulates a vision of Confident Christians, Growing Churches, and Transformed Communities. As one of the three cathedrals of the Diocese of Leeds, Wakefield Cathedral is ideally placed to support the Bishop in working towards this vision: our building, situated at the heart of the city, has been magnificently refurbished and offers enormous scope for a colleague who has an imaginative, creative and thoughtful approach to liturgy and worship and the way in which it can serve and enrich both our mission, and the mission of the Diocese of Leeds. We hope that you will consider prayerfully the possibility that God may be calling you to serve in this exciting role. May God bless you as you do so. +Nick Baines Simon Cowling Bishop of Leeds Dean of Wakefield If you would like an informal conversation with the Dean about this role, by telephone or Zoom, please arrange an appointment by contacting Bev Howes, Dean’s PA, in the cathedral office on 01924 373923 or [email protected] Please email your completed application form to: Neil Holland, Chief Operating Officer, Cathedral Centre, 8-10 Westmorland Street, Wakefield WF1 1PJ E: [email protected] T: 01924 373923 The closing date for applications is 12:00 on Friday 01 October 2021.
