    Friends of Bradford Cathedral Newsletter Spring 2016 Letter from the Chairman Dear Friends As I write this, the England cricket team is in the ascendancy at Headingley and the sun is shining! Long may it continue. First: an apology. It seems that some of you who receive your mailings through the post have fallen off the list. (I realise you may not be reading this if that’s the case ….!) If you know of someone in this predicament, do please contact me as soon as possible. Can I take this opportunity to encourage you to help the Friends by using email as your preferred means of receiving information? The cost of sending out 60+ lots of paperwork by post is becoming a real worry, as I’m sure you understand. The cost of postage, paper, labels and envelopes is not insignificant; in addition, it takes quite a time to print and collate the papers, put them in the envelopes and get the labels on. I can guarantee that we will not divulge any information we hold: it will be completely safe. To those of you who allow us to use email, our heartfelt thanks. If you are able to switch to email, do please contact me – thank you. You will have read in the AGM literature of the projects the Friends have supported during the year. Please come and pay us a visit – both the Close and the Cathedral are looking particularly fine, especially now that this phase of the outside work has been completed. In addition, as we await the appointment of a Canon Precentor, our hard- pressed Cathedral staff will appreciate your support and your prayers.

  • Help Bring Back the Forests of Bradford at the Next Cathedral Tree-Planting Day
    Date: 15th November 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS RELEASE Help bring back the forests of Bradford at the next cathedral tree-planting day At the tree planting site in 2018. 1 HOSPITALITY. FAITHFULNESS. WHOLENESS. [email protected] Bradford Cathedral, Stott Hill, Bradford, BD1 4EH www.bradfordcathedral.org T: 01274 777720 F: 01274 777730 Following last year’s successful tree planting day, Bradford Cathedral will be once more encouraging people to come and help bring greenery back to parts of the city. The concept began with the Bradford Cathedral Wood Project about three years ago and so far over 800 trees have been planted already in the area, with so many now on the previous site that a new space is being used for 2019. The tree planting day is on Saturday 23rd November from 10am – 3pm and anyone can come along and take part, and there will be people on hand to help with plenty of spades and tools to help: all you need to bring along is yourself and a good pair of shoes. Some of the trees which will be planted have been provided by Government grants, and include oak, ash, birch, walnut, hawthorn and Guelder-rose. Mike de Villiers of the EcoGroup: “Trees are the natural cover of this country, and we really need to reinstate them and overturn the damage that we, as humans, have done over the centuries. We cleared trees. We think of this country as a green and pleasant land of fields, but if you think about the Roman era, they had to battle through forests.

Smith Analysis of current pastoral care practice, particularly of Christian pastoral care providers and chaplains, reveals a contemporary lacuna in Christian theological frameworks which contributes to North American Christians’ inability to connect a theological understanding of death with the experience of their human finitude despite the presence of considerable literature on death and dying. This gap deprives many Christians of the possibility of finding a unique and specific source of hope and strength within their own faith tradition for facing crisis.
