    REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association

    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Data are collected from all 42 mainland Church of England cathedrals and from Westminster Abbey, through an annual cathedral statistics survey. Among other things, the survey asks about attendance at Sunday and midweek services; Easter and Christmas services; school visits; baptisms, marriages, and funerals; musical activities and volunteering. For reference, the survey form and guidance notes can be found in Appendix 2. Worship attendance (page 7) • A total of 37,300 people per week (82% adults and 18% children aged under 16) were reported attending usual cathedral services in 2019, a similar number to 2018 (37,100). Total weekly attendance is 13% larger in 2019 than it was a decade ago in 2009. • Weekly attendance at usual cathedral services is split fairly evenly between Sunday (47%) and midweek (53%) services.

This article sets out the early history of the Friends and the church and social contexts of its formation.

I. Launch It was a wet St Swithun’s Day on 15th July 1931 and instead of meeting on the Deanery lawn for afternoon tea following the annual Festival service, the congregation gathered in Winchester Guildhall. With a rousing proposal speech By the Vice-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Sir William Portal (right), supported By the Mayor of Winchester, William Lansdell, the Headmaster of Winchester College, Canon Alwyn Williams, and Professor Reginald Gleadowe (also Winchester College), the meeting ‘welcomed the formation of an association of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral and assures the Dean and Chapter of its loyal support on any steps they may take with that end’.1 The meeting supported Sir William’s resolution which was ‘carried unanimously’.2 Dean Gordon Selwyn, who had arranged the meeting and Became the Friends’ inaugural Chairman, ‘pointed out that this would Be an association of the laity.

Religion is a major world issue affecting politics and community cohesion, and our theme of ‘Faiths:Connected’ enabled us to deepen relationships with our neighbours of other traditions and to learn something about each other. Using the medium of the arts allowed us to meet and interact in a relaxed way, and the artists receptions gathered people who had never been in the Cathedral before. Cathedrals are in the news! Following the critical visitation reports on Exeter and Peterborough last year, there has been much media comment. All Cathedrals face similar ambiguities ‐ they are the most successful part of the Church in terms of numbers, growth and community engagement, yet many are struggling financially.

    (tel) +357 22 445221 [email protected] www.stpaulsnicosia.com October 2017 Welcome to this new publication for St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral. We hope that you will enjoy reading about all our major events/activities that took place before the summer months. This year’s May Fayre took place on a very hot summer’s May Fayre day but still proved to be a very popular afternoon out for lots of happy people. The day was filled with fabulous entertainment, lots of fun and games for the whole family, great food, and some wonderful prizes in the grand raffle. Talented performers took to the stage featuring the London School of Ballet, the Falcon School, the Junior & Senior Schools, and the music group AcousThree. Children also had the opportunity to explore the inside of a police car and a fire engine; enjoying the numerous sounds from their sirens. A very big thank you to all who worked so hard at making this another successful event. Handel’s Messiah On Saturday 1 April the Cathedral hosted a wonderful performance of Handel’s Messiah with our magnificent singers having had less than three hours rehearsal time during the afternoon. A huge thank you to our conductor, The Revd. Canon Anthony Stidolph, to our amazing accompanist Guy Creen, and of course to all those who heartily sang during the performance. At the beginning of Lent a confirmation group from the Diocese of Uppsala, part of the Church of Sweden, visited the Cathedral as part of a week- long trip to Cyprus. While staying in Nicosia they had the opportunity to visit the Archbishopric and Ayios Ioannis Cathedral; including a wonder around the Icon Museum.
