On Easter day hope rises. Our hearts burn within us. The risen Christ stands among us, in the midst of our uncertainty and fear, and says “Peace be with you”. Christ sacrificed his own life so that we might experience life in all its fulness. As Christians we are to hold on to resurrection hope and share that hope with others. “And hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Holy Week at Southwell Minster Spirit that has been given to us” Romans 5:5 Southwell Minster is getting ready to celebrate Holy Week both in the building and online, amid the Andy Emerton, Bishop of Sherwood signs of new life and hope as things around us begin to reopen.

  • Issue No. 7 May to July 2014
    Issue No. 7 May to July 2014 Welcome to the seventh edition of the Newark and Southwell Deanery Newsletter. Dear All, This June I will be standing down as your Lay Chair of Deanery Synod, having been in post for six years. Prior to this I was joint Lay Chair of the newly formed Newark and Southwell Deanery and before that was Lay Chair of Southwell Deanery for six years. As far as my youngest daughter, who is now 18, is concerned, I have always been a Lay chair! In that time many things have changed. The diocese changed its name in 2005, from the Diocese of Southwell to the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. Three Diocesan Bishops have come and gone and the role of the Deanery and Deanery Leadership team within the diocesan structure has become more involved. As an administrative structure we have been given more responsibility for the day to day running of the deanery, involving allocation of share across the parishes and planning of deanery structure and staffing through various targets set by the diocese - 2012 and 2020. The journey has not been easy. There are some things that have worked better than others. By listening to what folks have to say, both the good and the bad, we hope we are able to serve the deanery more effectively. Money and share and the enormous responsibility of the upkeep of our glorious parish churches has always been and will remain an ongoing juggling act between the needs of our parishes and the desire to join together in the Transforming Mission of God in the wider diocese and beyond.

  • Canon Precentor Profile
    CANON PRECENTOR CANDIDATE INFORMATION PACK 1 Thank you for your interest in Southwell Cathedral’s key position of Canon Precentor. I was installed as Dean of Southwell in September 2016, having previously served as the Archdeacon of Wells and part-time residential Canon. It has been a joy to lead this Cathedral during the last two years, especially as the Chapter shapes and develops its strategic plan for mission to enable Southwell Minster to best serve our Bishop, the diocese, the county of Nottinghamshire and the city of Nottingham, and the local parish. In consultation with the Chapter, the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, wishes to appoint a Canon Precentor who will lead the creative development of Southwell Cathedral’s musical and liturgical life. This is a critical appointment, full of exciting opportunity and we are praying for a clergy colleague who understands the joy of daily worship and yet is also outward-focused to engage with God’s world, and who has a profound love of people and ministry. The Minster is above all a place of prayer and pilgrimage, often remarked on as being peaceful and warm in welcome. At the heart of this beautiful and iconic building is a living Christian community longing to grow in love, faith and action. We hope that the enclosed information encourages you to consider whether God is calling you to apply to be this key member of the team and Chapter. While you will need to demonstrate that you have relevant experience combined with liturgical and musical competence, we are also looking for a priest who is willing to learn, grow and be instrumental in shaping our future under God, with a heart for mission.
