Being situated at the highest point in the city and surrounded by the ever- growing business and commercial life of what is the youngest city in Europe makes for a busy, exciting life. 2016 saw our Canon Liturgist, Janet Chapman move on back into parish life The Revd Canon Nigel Hand to St Laurence Church in the diocese and the Dean, Catherine Ogle, prepare to move to Winchester Cathedral to become Dean. Both played a major part in making the cathedral ‘fit for purpose’ producing a reordered well- functioning building and a place of welcome and a house of prayer at the heart of the city. Their ministry in Birmingham is greatly appreciated, and we send them to St Laurence and Winchester Cathedral with our prayers and best wishes. We continue our daily round of prayer each day for the world, the city the church and many come in throughout the week to pray. Our visitors now number in excess of 100,000 per year, with 20,000 pedestrians each day walking through Cathedral Square. The ministry of the cathedral is a team effort and couldn’t exist without the committed and supportive staff of vergers, Administrator, communications, education, heritage and office staff. On top of the weekly services, the Wardens and Deputies, flower arrangers, bell ringers, those who regularly clean and many others are involved in numerous extra services, memorials and special occasions that are part of our broad ministry. We look forward to a new year with new possibilities of connecting more within the city and the Diocese, with the Good News of Christ. We look forward to deepening our existing relationships, and being a beacon to the Diocese for the renewed ‘Transforming Church’ strategy. BIRMINGHAM CATHEDRAL CHAPTER STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES For the year ended 31 December 2016 Report from the Cathedral Administrator We end the year with a small financial in-year surplus of £4k in our unrestricted funds against budget, which is an incredibly positive result in a year where we absorbed the £58k cost of new Cathedral boilers which hadn’t been budgeted for; we also end the year much warmer than we started! Financially, we were also able to meet the small shortfall in the Internal Works Project. This positive result is due to a combination of good Anna Pitt stewardship of our resources, consistent and generous support through planned giving, and financial discipline. 2016 has been a year of quiet consolidation, reflecting retrospectively on a year of huge activity in 2015, and considering opportunities to grow and nurture the seeds of that fruitful year. 2016 saw the completion of the Internal Works project, which began back in May 2015. The culmination of the project was the installation of new electronic glass doors in the main entrance porch. The doors, whilst offering much easier access for all, also offer a clear line of sight into the Cathedral; a welcoming invitation to enter the building. Our relationships and partnerships within the Diocese and City continue to flourish. The St Basils Sleep Out was a hugely successful night, and one of the highlights of 2016 with 650 people sleeping out in Cathedral Square; a powerful and poignant evening. Our relationship with local partners (Colmore BID, WM Police and BCC Parks Department), have ensured consistent and careful custodianship of Cathedral Square for the benefit of the tens of thousands of people who use the space daily. The Cathedral Staff Team continues to grow, and are a daily blessing to the ministry of our Cathedral. We have recruited into 3 new lay roles, increasing the capacity of the team; Stephen Brooker joined us as Facilities Manager; Louisa Harrop joined as Education Officer and Ailsa Lightfoot joined as Administrative Assistant. Ashley Wagner also joined the music department as Organ Scholar. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the whole lay staff of the Cathedral, together with our marvellous volunteers, for the grace, commitment and passion that each bring to their role. Our 2016-2020 Strategic Plan has been instrumental in highlighting the distinct areas where our lay team are bringing their gifts to bear with excellent results. “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms” Peter 1 4:10 BIRMINGHAM CATHEDRAL CHAPTER STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES For the year ended 31 December 2016 Main Priorities for 2016 2016 was an opportunity to embed the grounding principles of our Strategic Plan into the daily life and rhythm of the Cathedral: Living Worship - Growing Disciples - Connecting Communities These principles have shaped the strategic and operational decision-making, and have added structure to the growing partnerships which have been nurtured. Living Worship ‘Mindful of the invitation of our Patron Saint to ‘Come and See’, we seek to offer a growing diversity in worship offering rich opportunities for encounter with God, for all ages.’ Take the opportunity to respond to ‘missional moments’ of WW1 Anniversary (Commemoration of the Battle of the Somme) and Queen’s 90th Birthday Participate in the National ‘Thy Kingdom Come Initiative’; continued clergy involvement in ‘Pray for the City’; diverse spread of visiting preachers; engaging with unique worship opportunities such as hosting Roger Hiorns’ ‘Lying Down Evensong’ BIRMINGHAM CATHEDRAL CHAPTER STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES For the year ended 31 December 2016 Growing Disciples ‘We seek to grow in number and in depth of discipleship in order to witness to Christ more effectively’ We will employ a Cathedral Education Officer, continue to grow the number of Visitors’ Chaplains and volunteers; Annual Pentecost Birthday Party for school children; Annual Community Day; Support for Christian Aid, St Basils, and other charities; continued ministry of healing; continued engagement with and promotion of heritage, enriching the visitor experience. Connecting Communities ‘Birmingham is the place ‘where the world meets’ and, as Archbishop Justin memorably told us in 2015, Birmingham has perhaps a unique opportunity to show the world how people can live together in peace’ We will work towards establishing the Cathedral as a forum for Public Theology; continue collaborative working with Diocesan Directors and parishes; hosting charitable events in the Cathedral and on Cathedral Square; work with Colmore BID to create safe and welcoming space in Cathedral Square; deepen partnerships with Heritage organisations; Continue to develop ‘Something Good’ and the work of Cathedral ARTS Group. BIRMINGHAM CATHEDRAL CHAPTER STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES For the year ended 31 December 2016 Good Order ‘We seek to achieve good order in the governance of the Cathedral to reflect the good order of God’s creation and to enable the Cathedral to model good working practices, good working relationships for staff, volunteers and good communications fostering mutual understanding and respect.’ Cathedral Safeguarding Audit; Annual review of Chapter policies; regular review of staff terms and conditions; review and benchmarking of lay salaries; Clergy participation in national cathedral life Conferences and AEC; establish a new Cathedral database.

  • Dear Friends, As We Approach the Coming Weekend, We Are Once
    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.

  • A Service to Mark the 75Th Anniversary of VE Day
    A Service to Mark the 75th Anniversary of VE Day Winchester Cathedral 8th May 2020 WELCOME TO ONLINE WORSHIP To find information on other and future services visit: www.facebook.com/winchestercathedral www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk www.twitter.com/wincathedral Many of us will be unfamiliar with online worship and it will probably seem strange at first. These strange times call for new patterns and Archbishop Justin has challenged us to become a different kind of church. We are still the people of God. God hears our prayers. This service commemorates the 75th Anniversary of VE Day and gives thanks for the service of a generation in winning the peace we now enjoy. You can follow along at your own pace. Titles marked with can be clicked to be taken to a short video of the marked section. If using a PC, you may like to press and hold ‘ctrl’ while left-clicking on the title, to open the video in a new tab on your web browser. This way you can keep the order of service open and not have to click ‘back’ each time to resume your place in the order of service. Try to actively share in the service - join in the words in bold and sing out the hymns. You may not want to stand or kneel as usual but find a comfortable position that helps you and perhaps think about how you hold your hands, maybe holding them palms upwards to offer thanksgiving and to receive God’s love and blessing. May God bless you as we worship Him together.
