Hymn

How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire? Let dust in dust and silence lie; sing, sing, ye heavenly choir. Thousands of thousands stand around thy throne, O God most high; ten thousand times ten thousand sound thy praise; but who am I?

1 Thy brightness unto them appears, while I thy footsteps trace; a sound of God comes to my ears, but they behold thy face: I shall, I fear, be dark and cold, with all my fire and light; yet when thou dost accept their gold, Lord, treasure up my mite.

Enlighten with faith’s light my heart, inflame it with love’s fire, then shall I sing and take my part with that celestial choir. They sing, because thou art their sun; Lord, send a beam on me; for where heaven is but once begun, there alleluias be.

How great a being, Lord, is thine, which doth all beings keep! Thy knowledge is the only line to sound so vast a deep: Thou art a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere; thy time is now and evermore, thy place is everywhere.

Words: John Mason (1646-1694) Music: Ken Naylor (1931-1991) Descant: Katherine Dienes-Williams (b 1970)

Welcome and Bidding

The Acting Dean welcomes the congregation.

On behalf of the Chapter and Cathedral community, may I welcome you all here today.

We are gathered together with joy and anticipation to welcome Dianna to this Cathedral Church as our Dean, and to the Diocese as its senior priest. We greet Martin, Dianna’s husband; her children Michael and Sarah, with Becky and Dave, and her wider and extended family; we look forward to sharing the life of this place with them all.

Most of all we are here to ask God’s blessing on Dianna’s new ministry among us. Let us therefore be silent and remember God’s presence with us now.

A short silence follows.

The congregation sits for the psalm, sung by the choir.

Psalm 122

1 I was glad when they said unto me : We will go into the house of the Lord. 2 Our feet shall stand in thy gates : O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is built as a city : that is at unity in itself. 4 For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord : to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord. 5 For there is the seat of judgement : even the seat of the house of David. 6 O pray for the peace of Jerusalem : they shall prosper that love thee. 7 Peace be within thy walls : and plenteousness within thy palaces. 8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes : I will wish thee prosperity. 9 Yea, because of the house of the Lord our God : I will seek to do thee good. Stand Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

Hymn

O thou who camest from above the fire celestial to impart kindle a flame of sacred love on the mean altar of my heart!

There let it for thy glory burn with inextinguishable blaze, and trembling to its source return in humble prayer and fervent praise.

Jesus, confirm my heart’s desire to work, and speak, and think for thee; still let me guard the holy fire, and still stir up the gift in me.

Ready for all thy perfect will, my acts of faith and love repeat; till death thy endless mercies seal, and make the sacrifice complete.

Text: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Music: Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876)

Prayer and anointing

Bishop Eternal God, whose we are and whom we serve: we pray for this Cathedral Church of the Holy Spirit, that it may be a house of prayer in which your word is diligently proclaimed and your sacraments faithfully administered; bless all who minister here, especially your servant Dianna, that this place may be a beacon of light in a dark world, a sign of hope to the needy and encouragement to pilgrims; we ask it through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen.

THE INSTITUTION AND INSTALLATION

The Declarations

Bishop Let the Declaration of Assent be made and subscribed, and the necessary oaths be taken.

The Church of England is part of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church worshipping the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make, will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care?

Declaration of Assent

Dean- I, Dianna Lynn Gwilliams, do so affirm, and accordingly declare my belief in the Designate faith which is revealed in the holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds and to which the historic formularies of the Church of England bear witness: and in public prayer and administration of the sacraments, I will use only the forms of service which are authorised or allowed by Canon.

Oath of Allegiance

Dean- I, Dianna Lynn Gwilliams, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true Designate allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.

6 Oath of Canonical Obedience

Dean- I, Dianna Lynn Gwilliams, do swear by Almighty God that I will pay true and Designate canonical obedience to the Lord Bishop of Guildford and his successors, in all things lawful and honest. So help me God.

Oath of Observing the Statutes

Dean- I, Dianna Lynn Gwilliams, swear by Almighty God that I will faithfully observe Designate the Statutes, Ordinances and laudable customs of the Cathedral Church of the Holy Spirit, Guildford, so far as they are not contrary or repugnant to the laws of God and the Statutes of this Realm, and so far as they concern me in my Office of Dean of the said Cathedral Church.

The Dean-Designate signs the necessary instruments.

The Institution

The Congregation stands. The Bishop reads the Deed of Institution, the Dean-Designate kneeling before him and holding the seal.

Bishop Dianna, receive this charge. Be diligent so to take your part with the Chapter in the government of this place, that here the word of God may be faithfully preached and the Sacraments duly administered. In all things so uphold the honour and dignity of our Cathedral Church, that it may be a centre of worship and mission for both the Diocese and the wider community.

The Installation

The Bishop requests the Sub Dean to install the Dean.

Bishop Mr Sub Dean, I invite you in accordance with the mandate of Her Majesty The Queen to proceed to the installation.

The Sub Dean takes the Dean-Designate by the hand and conducts her to the Dean’s stall. Placing her therein, he says

Sub Dean I, Nicholas John Thistlethwaite, Sub Dean and Precentor of Guildford Cathedral, do install you, Dianna, into the stall now assigned to you as Dean, and do effectually induct you into the real, actual and corporal possession of the same, with all and singular its rights, members and appurtenances, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

May the Lord preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth for evermore. All Amen.

Magnificat

The Jesus Service William Mathias (1934-92)

My soul doth magnify the Lord : and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded : the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold, from henceforth : all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me : and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him : throughout all generations. He hath shewed strength with his arm : he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat : and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things : and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel : as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

The congregation sits.

8 Nunc Dimittis

The Jesus Service William Mathias (1934-92)

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace : according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen : thy salvation. Which thou hast prepared : before the face of all people. To be a light to lighten the Gentiles : and to be the glory of thy people, Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

The Creed

All I believe in God the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Collect for Peace

Priest O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed: Give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that both our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee we being defended from the fear of our enemies may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
