We see this new senior role as vital to building up the capacity and sustainability of the cathedral’s ministry, and even more so as we emerge from some of the most challenging months the nation has known in peacetime for several generations. Wakefield Cathedral is not wealthy. In common with its sister cathedrals, it receives no statutory funding and is dependent on generating its own income to support its work. We are fortunate to receive discretionary funding from the Church Commissioners which covers around 30% of our current annual expenditure; the remainder is drawn from voluntary congregational giving, donations, grant applications, fundraising and income generated from events. The person appointed will undoubtedly need resilience and persistence as well as experience. They will also be joining a team of people fully committed to the flourishing of the cathedral’s ministry at the heart of the city and the wider Diocese of Leeds. I hope that the pack stimulates you to consider applying, and we look forward to hearing from you. The Very Revd Simon Cowling Dean of Wakefield Joyful – Generous – Inclusive 2 Application Pack – Income & Funding Manager The Cathedral The Cathedral stands on the site of a Saxon church in the centre of Wakefield.

  • 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.

  • St Edmundsbury Cathedral Tower Tour
    St Edmundsbury Cathedral Tower Tour The Gothic-style lantern tower which now dominates the skyline of Bury St Edmunds was completed in 2005 and stands one hundred and sixty feet high. This tower was described by HRH the Prince of Wales as “A spiritual beacon for the new Millennium” 500 Years to a Tower The nave of the Cathedral was originally St James’s Church, built in 1503 on the site of a previous church also dedicated to St James, constructed by the Abbey for the use of the townspeople. The sixteenth-century work was started by John Wastell (1460 – 1518) who was a master mason at the Abbey. Other works attributed to him are the Chapel of King’s College, Cambridge, and the Bell Harry Tower at Canterbury. In 1914 the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was created and St James Church was chosen to be the Cathedral, with the Bishop residing in Ipswich. In the 1940s the architect Stephen Dykes Bower was engaged by the Cathedral to begin planning the expansion. Work on the east end began in 1960 and the crossing was completed in 1970. Unfortunately, a lack of funds prevented the addition of a tower, or indeed the completion of the cloisters, the north transept or the Chapel of the Transfiguration. Above the crossing there was a simple ceiling. In 1994 Stephen Dykes Bower passed away, leaving the Cathedral a substantial legacy with which to finish the north transept. At this time, the Millennium Commission were on the search for projects to support in celebration of the millennium.

  • Käthe Wright Kaufman Serves As Organ Scholar at St. Paul's
    Käthe Wright Kaufman serves as organ scholar at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Rochester. She has been appointed organ scholar at Peterborough Cathedral in the UK from September 2019. Käthe was launched into church music early on when she became a chorister in the choir of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Evanston, Illinois at age eight under the direction of Richard Webster. Her growing love of the Anglican choral tradition inspired her to begin her organ studies a few years later in 2007. She began studying with James Brown at the Music Institute of Chicago. For both undergraduate and graduate study, she attended the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, where she studied organ, harpsichord, and improvisation with William Porter and Edoardo Bellotti, as well as organ with David Higgs for her Master’s degree. During her time at Eastman, Käthe worked as a Soprano section leader at the Church of the Ascension, as a VanDelinder Fellow at Christ Church, and as the organ scholar at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Buffalo. This exposure to many different styles and denominations of worship cemented in her the desire to work as a full- time church musician. Following the completion of her Bachelor of Music degree magna cum laude from the Eastman School of Music in 2016, Käthe spent a gap year in Truro, UK where she served as organ scholar at Truro Cathedral, playing two to three services a week, keeping the music library organized, and training the boy probationers every morning before school. Käthe hopes to work as a church musician in a large city, accompanying choirs and passing on her love of choral and organ repertoire to her choristers and congregation.
