  • DEAN of SALISBURY Information for Applicants
    DEAN OF SALISBURY Information for Applicants INTRODUCTION Salisbury Cathedral is a beautiful building, a testimony to the faith and practical skills of the medieval craftsmen who built it; but it is much more than a historical monument. It is a living church and a place of prayer. As the Cathedral Church of the Salisbury diocese it is Mother Church of 450 parishes in Wiltshire and Dorset. It is also a centre for hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, a complex network of worshippers, staff, volunteers and clergy as well as a substantial business operation. This largely rural diocese is committed to the renewal of inherited forms of Church alongside a mixed economy of over 90 new worshipping communities and hospitality based events aimed at reaching people new to Church. The Cathedral shares in the diocesan commitment to “Renewing Hope – Pray, Serve, Grow” and this lies at the heart of its Christian witness. Hope holds together past, present and future giving meaning and purpose to existence. For the Cathedral, Hope calls the next Dean to step into the riches of its history and tradition while enabling the discernment of how these might be renewed; its worship and witness brought to life for the current age and time. The Dean will be key to leading an exploration of purpose, culture and ethos, to enabling the Cathedral to re-articulate this in its mission and in extending its worship and welcome alongside regular services and events. Pilgrims come to Salisbury to seek inspiration in the glory and peace of the building and surrounding Cathedral Close.

  • Congratulations to June Osborne on Her New Role As Bishop of Llandaff
    NEWS RELEASE 27 APRIL 2017 Congratulations to June Osborne on her new role as Bishop of Llandaff Sarum College wishes to congratulate The Very Revd June Osborne, Dean of Salisbury Cathedral, on her new role as Bishop of Llandaff. In response to the news, The Revd Canon Dr James Woodward, Principal of Sarum College said: ‘Salisbury Cathedral and Sarum College are friends and neighbours in the Close and we work together across a number of areas of learning and spiritual formation. Our visitors benefit from the life and witness of the Cathedral as we are enriched by the beauty of its architecture and worship. June has been a friend, supporter and guide to our work over many years of her ministry in the Close. I am particularly indebted to June for her encouragement and wisdom since I arrived in September 2015. She is a person of experience, vision and sound judgement. The life of the Church of England would be very different today without June's tireless commitment to women's ministry and leadership. June is an able teacher and an inspiring communicator. All at Sarum College wish her well as she moves into new chapter of her ministry as Bishop of Llandaff in the Church In Wales. Her presence will be much missed and we offer our congratulations and prayers.’ Sarum College is an independent and ecumenical centre for Christian study and hospitality with a longstanding collaborative relationship with Salisbury Cathedral. The College was founded in 1995 by a governing body headed by the former dean of Salisbury Cathedral, The Very Revd Hugh Dickinson.

It states when, how and why the practice of retreat was adopted and adapted in the Church of England after having been a devotion in the Church of Rome since the time of the Catholic Reformation and how it has developed since. It is divided chronologically into three major sections. The first tells the story of its adoption in 1858 by a group of Anglo Catholics in the form of the preached retreat and its subsequent spread to a small number of adherents, despite meeting opposition from Evangelical Christians.
