Westminster Abbey 2013 Report to the Visitor Her Majesty the Queen
Westminster Abbey 2013 Report To The Visitor Her Majesty The Queen Your Majesty, The Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St Peter in Westminster, under the Charter of Queen Elizabeth I on 21st May 1560 and the Statutes graciously granted us by Your Majesty in a Supplemental Charter on 16th February 2012, is obliged to present an Annual Report to Your Majesty as our Visitor. It is our privilege, as well as our duty, now to present the Dean and Chapter’s Annual Report for the Year of Grace 2013. From time to time, the amount of information and the manner in which it is presented has changed. This year we present the report with more information than in recent years about the wide range of expertise on which the Dean and Chapter is able to draw from volunteers sitting on statutory and non-statutory advisory bodies. We also present more information about our senior staff under the Receiver General and Chapter Clerk who together ensure that the Abbey is managed efficiently and effectively. We believe that the account of the Abbey’s activities in the year 2013 is of wide interest. So we have presented this report in a format which we hope not only the Abbey community of staff, volunteers and regular worshippers but also the wider international public who know and love the Abbey will find attractive. It is our daily prayer and our earnest intention that we shall continue faithfully to fulfil the Abbey’s Mission: — To serve Almighty God as a ‘school of the Lord’s service’ by offering divine worship daily and publicly; — To serve the Sovereign by daily prayer and by a ready response to requests made by or on behalf of Her Majesty; — To serve the nation by fostering the place of true religion within national life, maintaining a close relationship with members of the House of Commons and House of Lords and with others in representative positions; — To serve pilgrims and all other visitors and to maintain a tradition of hospitality. -

Diocese of Norwich Diocesan Secretary
Diocese of Norwich Diocesan Secretary Application pack / March 2021 Introduction from Bishop Graham, the Bishop of Norwich Thank you for your interest in the key role of Diocesan Secretary. The Diocese of Norwich is a wonderful place to serve, with amazing diversity: deeply rural, market towns, coastal towns and urban centres, some with places of urban deprivation and rapidly expanding new housing developments. The city of Norwich with its Cathedral is a vibrant and cultural place which, as a regional hub, attracts inward investment and businesses due to its high quality of living, teaching hospital, two universities and science park. There are Minster churches at King’s Lynn and Great Yarmouth serving their wider communities. The Norfolk Broads and coastline attract many visitors each year. That variety is in itself energising, but for me what really makes this such a rewarding, satisfying and fun place to be engaged in God’s mission is the people - parishioners, church workers and clergy - exploring and living out what it means to be transformed by Christ. The Church of England will face both joys and challenges in the coming years as we navigate our way through and beyond the pandemic, and seek to share the Gospel afresh with each generation. I am looking for an exceptional individual, who will bring transparent, caring and collaborative leadership, fresh thinking and some innovative answers and solutions, as the next Diocesan Secretary. That person will be deeply committed to the Christian faith, have the heart of a servant of God’s Church, and want to work with me and other colleagues to see God’s Kingdom come in Norfolk and Waveney. -

Address by the Very Revd Jane Hedges Dean of Norwich Cathedral a T T H E FURSEY PILGRIMAGE Burgh Castle - Saturday 3Rd October 2015
Address by The Very Revd Jane Hedges Dean of Norwich Cathedral a t t h e FURSEY PILGRIMAGE Burgh Castle - Saturday 3rd October 2015 One of the interesting things about moving to a new place is that you meet new characters - not just the people with whom you work but people who've played a significant part in the life of that place in the past and continue to influence and inspire people in the present. When I arrived at Westminster Abbey nearly ten years ago now, I'd heard of Edward the Confessor but I knew absolutely nothing about him; but because his shrine lies at the heart of the Abbey I soon became very familiar with the details of his life and the many stories and miracles associated with him. In fact he became such a hero for me that I eventually wrote a children's book about his place within the life of nation, suggesting that he should be reinstated as the patron saint of England - because he really is a much better role model than St George. Well, having arrived in Norfolk sixteen months ago now, I find myself once again meeting new characters, amongst them St Fursey, who I have to admit I had never heard of before coming to this part of the world! Just like Edward the Confessor, St Fursey I've discovered was first and foremost a devout and compassionate man and did some remarkable things, had the gift of being a visionary and as a result is an inspirational figure to those who have become familiar with his life- story. -
