  • RINGING ROUND DEVON GUILD of DEVONSHIRE RINGERS Newsletter 73: March 2009
    RINGING ROUND DEVON GUILD OF DEVONSHIRE RINGERS Newsletter 73: March 2009 EXETER CATHEDRAL BELLS AND RINGERS This year, churches of all denominations across Devon are celebrating 1100 years of the westward expansion of Christianity from the Diocese of Wessex at Sherborne to Devon in 909. Initially, the home of what became the Diocese of Exeter was Crediton, moving to Exeter in 1050. The Cathedral has organized a number of events for the year, the climax of which is a Celebration Day in Exeter on Saturday 27 June. So with the Cathedral as the seat of the Diocese and thus of the celebrations, it seemed appropriate to spotlight the Cathedral bells and ringers. The South Tower Andrew Digby illustrates the size of Grandisson The South Tower contains 14 bells that are hung for full circle change ringing. They are an eclectic mix of weights and ages and constitute the second or third heaviest ring of bells in the world (depending on definition). They are usually rung as a 12, with the two semitones allowing lighter combinations of 8 or 10 to be rung. The tenor, Grandisson is 72½ Cwt in Bb, and the treble is 6 Cwt. The oldest bell in the tower (the 4th) dates from 1616, and the newest (the Jubilee treble) was added in 1977. Several bells have been re-cast over the years; Grandisson itself was last re-cast in 1902. Ringing here is not for the faint-hearted. The bells are heavy and demanding, the ringing chamber is enormous and can seem intimidating, even after several visits, and the huge range of bell weights and sizes means that ropesight is quite a challenge.

  • Our Vision and Strategy
    Growing in prayer Making new disciples Serving the people of Devon with joy ___________________________________________________________________________ OUR VISION AND STRATEGY OUR VISION ‘I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.’ Jeremiah 29.11 We seek to be people who together are: Growing in prayer We want to grow in prayer, living a life close to God. This means taking risks as we become more honest with ourselves and more honest with God. Prayer opens up deep places within us to God’s grace which is why it is such a life-giving activity. Growing in prayer is essential if we are to witness to God’s Kingdom and become the people God has called us to be. Making new disciples A disciple is someone who follows Jesus Christ. With him as our companion and guide we can travel through life differently, and we hope others will share the adventure with us. We want to be more faithful in our discipleship and allow God to shape our priorities and values. The Christian gospel is good news and we need to find new ways of telling the story, of explaining the faith and giving a reason for the hope that is in us. Serving the people of Devon with joy We want to make a difference in the world and witness to God’s love and justice, especially in the communities and schools where we live. Working in partnership with others who are transforming lives, we seek to address the global issues confronting our generation so that everyone may flourish.
