  • Friends of Bradford Cathedral Newsletter Spring 2016
    Friends of Bradford Cathedral Newsletter Spring 2016 Letter from the Chairman Dear Friends As I write this, the England cricket team is in the ascendancy at Headingley and the sun is shining! Long may it continue. First: an apology. It seems that some of you who receive your mailings through the post have fallen off the list. (I realise you may not be reading this if that’s the case ….!) If you know of someone in this predicament, do please contact me as soon as possible. Can I take this opportunity to encourage you to help the Friends by using email as your preferred means of receiving information? The cost of sending out 60+ lots of paperwork by post is becoming a real worry, as I’m sure you understand. The cost of postage, paper, labels and envelopes is not insignificant; in addition, it takes quite a time to print and collate the papers, put them in the envelopes and get the labels on. I can guarantee that we will not divulge any information we hold: it will be completely safe. To those of you who allow us to use email, our heartfelt thanks. If you are able to switch to email, do please contact me – thank you. You will have read in the AGM literature of the projects the Friends have supported during the year. Please come and pay us a visit – both the Close and the Cathedral are looking particularly fine, especially now that this phase of the outside work has been completed. In addition, as we await the appointment of a Canon Precentor, our hard- pressed Cathedral staff will appreciate your support and your prayers.

  • Newsletter – Autumn 2006
    THE YORKSHIRE ASSOCIATION OF CHANGE RINGERS Established 1875 NEWSLETTER – AUTUMN 2006 Editorial Welcome to this first edition of the YACR Newsletter, which we hope will appear in every tower of the Association via Branch Secretaries. The Production Team – Bob Cater and Anne Deebank – hope you find something of interest in this first, bumper Edition. As this is the first edition we would also be interested in your views – have we got the content right? Have you any suggestions for articles? Are you reading this in a tower which isn’t your own and you haven’t got one at your home tower? Let us know! The next edition will come out in the Spring, immediately after the AGM on 5 May. Please let either of us have copy by 15 April 2007. Bob Cater [email protected] Anne Deebank [email protected] President’s Message I am writing this newsletter introduction after spending an enjoyable day listening to two excellent peals rung at two of West Yorkshire’s best light sixes. (Clue 1 – both towers begin with an S. Clue 2 – I could have walked from one tower to the other along the Leeds-Liverpool canal.) Whilst listening to the ringing I got to thinking about why people ring bells and why they might attend Association events at both branch and full association level. When I was younger I attended Association meetings to have the opportunity to ring on new and different bells (and to get a tick in Dove!) and also to ring new and different methods that I did not have the chance to ring on a normal practice night.

He’s not talking search for prayer therefore is the here about kneeling or standing with defining challenge of our lives, the only hands outstretched (the ancient reliable hope for meaning.' physical posture often used in the Dean Jerry church these days when the Lord’s Prayer is said) but rather about what is going on when we pray… our approach to God, framed by the Lord’s Prayer. He majors on prayer being about dwelling in the transforming presence of God, joining with the Spirit praying in us. He has some great material on prayer and time, moving mountains in prayer and gathering up the whole of life, every bit of it, good and bad in prayer.

  • Help Bring Back the Forests of Bradford at the Next Cathedral Tree-Planting Day
    Date: 15th November 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS RELEASE Help bring back the forests of Bradford at the next cathedral tree-planting day At the tree planting site in 2018. 1 HOSPITALITY. FAITHFULNESS. WHOLENESS. [email protected] Bradford Cathedral, Stott Hill, Bradford, BD1 4EH www.bradfordcathedral.org T: 01274 777720 F: 01274 777730 Following last year’s successful tree planting day, Bradford Cathedral will be once more encouraging people to come and help bring greenery back to parts of the city. The concept began with the Bradford Cathedral Wood Project about three years ago and so far over 800 trees have been planted already in the area, with so many now on the previous site that a new space is being used for 2019. The tree planting day is on Saturday 23rd November from 10am – 3pm and anyone can come along and take part, and there will be people on hand to help with plenty of spades and tools to help: all you need to bring along is yourself and a good pair of shoes. Some of the trees which will be planted have been provided by Government grants, and include oak, ash, birch, walnut, hawthorn and Guelder-rose. Mike de Villiers of the EcoGroup: “Trees are the natural cover of this country, and we really need to reinstate them and overturn the damage that we, as humans, have done over the centuries. We cleared trees. We think of this country as a green and pleasant land of fields, but if you think about the Roman era, they had to battle through forests.

  • Bradford Cathedral and Kala Sangam Join up to Exhibit Art Created During
    Date: Monday 23rd August FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS RELEASE “Art, like life, has a beautiful way of unfolding”: Bradford Cathedral and Kala Sangam join up to exhibit art created during the pandemic The exhibition of pieces by collective ‘Aire Valley Arts’ will run from Wednesday 1st September through to Thursday 28th October at Bradford Cathedral and Kala Sangam, starting with an opening event Sixteen months after the last Artspace exhibition, art is returning to Bradford Cathedral this Autumn with Aire Valley Arts’ new exhibition ‘Unfolding’. The pieces, created by the collective, will be displayed in the brand-new exhibition ‘Unfolding’, which will be held between the Cathedral and the Kala Sangam Arts Centre. Nature Unfolding, a watercolour piece by Jane Fielder What is ‘Unfolding’? “Art, like life, has a beautiful way of unfolding in its own exquisite way and in its own natural time frame. 1 “We may start with an idea, a concept, a vision, but the real beauty, in art and in life, is often found when we allow a natural, unforced, free-flowing unfolding.” The resulting exhibition, ‘Unfolding’, is a celebration of this natural, creative process. The artwork that will be showcased was created during the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021. Smoggy Shipley, an oil piece, by David Starley Jane Fielder, of Aire Valley Arts, says: “At the start of the pandemic, no one could have predicted what would happen in 2020 and 2021 and the results of each artist’s journeys were, as then, totally unknown. “All that was clear was the commitment of all of the artists to allow the exhibition to develop its own momentum, direction and content.

Appendices ........................................................................ 114 Opinion Leader 2 1. Executive summary HLF’s Strategic Framework The strategy document presented to respondents of this consultation suggested that HLF consolidate its three strategic aims of ‘conservation’, ‘participation’ and ‘learning’ into a single aim: Making a positive and lasting difference for heritage and people. This was met with majority agreement with almost seven in ten saying they tend to or strongly agree with the proposal. Those who were more hesitant suggested that the single aim needs to be clarified further and guidance on its interpretation should be provided when putting in bids for funding to avoid any misinterpretation or difficulties. HLF’s proposal to target more funds to identified strategic needs was met with a mixed reaction, just over a third agreed, just over two in five disagreed and a fifth were neutral. Advocates felt that this approach encourages change and flexibility, especially in challenging financial times. Those neutral or in opposition to the proposal of targeting funds expressed concerns over the potential impact this would have on the ability for smaller bidders to obtain funding.
