Sing levy dew, sing levy dew, the water and the wine; The seven bright gold wires and the bugles that do shine. Words: Anon Music: Benjamin Britten The Rt Rev Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York says In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All Amen. Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you All ​ and also with you. The Archbishop briefly introduces the service. 1 Introducing the Prayers of Penitence, he says: As we come to the Lord at the start of a New Year, let us seek his grace to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom as we confess our sins in penitence and faith. Silence is kept. Lord Jesus, you are mighty God and Prince of Peace: Lord, have mercy. All Lord, have mercy. Lord Jesus, you are Son of God and Son of Mary: Christ, have mercy. All​ Christ, have mercy. Lord Jesus, you are Word made flesh and splendour of the Father: Lord, have mercy. All ​ Lord, have mercy. May the God of all healing and forgiveness draw you to himself, that you may behold the glory of his Son, the Word made flesh, and be cleansed from all your sins, through Jesus Christ our Lord. All​ Amen. GLORIA Sung by St Martin’s Voices Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us. You are seated at the right hand of the Father, receive our prayer. For you alone are the holy one, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the most high, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. Music from ‘Mass of St Cedd’ by Peter Nardone The Archbishop says Let us pray. Silence is kept. 2 God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, whose years never fail and whose mercies are new each returning day: let the radiance of your Spirit renew our lives, warming our hearts and giving light to our minds; that we may pass the coming year in joyful obedience and firm faith; through him who is the beginning and the end, your Son, Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. All ​ Amen. NEW TESTAMENT READING The Rev Canon Maggie McLean, Canon Missioner, York Minster A reading from the letter of Paul to the Ephesians Now this I affirm and insist on in the Lord: you must no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart. They have lost all sensitivity and have abandoned themselves to licentiousness, greedy to the practices of every kind of impurity. That is not the way you learned in Christ! For surely you have heard about him and were taught in him, as truth as in Jesus. You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. This is the word of the Lord. All Thanks be to God. THE HOLY GOSPEL Luke 1: 67-69 The Rt Rev Dr Jonathan Frost, Dean of York Minster Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. All Glory to you, O Lord. Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke this prophecy: ‘Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favourably on his people and redeemed them. 3 He has raised up a mighty saviour for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us. Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors, and has remembered his holy covenant, the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham, to grant us that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins. By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.’ This is the Gospel of the Lord SERMON Rt Rev Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York ANTHEM New Year Sung by St Martin’s Voices Turn your eyes to the Light, cast away the works of darkness, let them go Turn your eyes to the Light. Turn your face to the Sun. Feel the warmth, the hope of new beginnings with each new year. The light was always there, if we could but see it, and warmth was in the air, if we’d known how to feel. Turn your eyes to the Light. Turn your face to the Sun. New Light, New Hope, New Year. New Light. New Hope. New Year! Turn your ears to the sound. Somewhere near the voice is calling, “Hear the news.” Turn your ears to the sound. Turn your heart to the Love. Christ is come to bring the world new Life. To bring new Life. 4 The voice is always there, if the world will hear it. And love is always there, if you search in your heart. Turn your ears to the sound. Turn your heart to the love. New Life, New Love, New Year. New Life, and Love, and Light and Hope. This Good New Year. New Year. Words & Music : John Rutter Silence is kept. Let us declare together our creed: All We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. 5 INTERCESSIONS The Rt Rev Dr Jonathan Frost, Dean of York Minster In the power of the Spirit, and in union with Christ, let us pray to the Father. We pray for God’s faithfulness to be known in our world. In a world of change and hope, of fear and adventure, faithful God All glorify your name. In human rebellion and obedience, in our seeking and our finding, faithful God All glorify your name. In the common life of our society, in prosperity and need, faithful God All glorify your name. As your Church proclaims your goodness in words and action, faithful God All glorify your name. Among our friends and in our homes, faithful God All glorify your name. In our times of joy, in our days of sorrow, faithful God All glorify your name. In our strengths and triumphs, in our weakness and at our death, faithful God All glorify your name. In your saints in glory and on the day of Christ’s coming, faithful God All glorify your name.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. FORMER publications * of the Camden Society have brought before our notice Richard Duke of Gloucester, as continually engaged in the intrigues of a court or the storms of civil war, while for four centuries both his person and character have been the theme of almost universal vituperation. Into these subjects it is not the province of the editor of the present volume to enter; and, in truth, there is now the less occasion for it, since the volumes of Miss Halsted have appeared in the field of literature. This talented and zealous writer has adduced a host of authorities, apparently proving that his personal deformity existed but in the libels of an opposing faction, perpetuated in the pages of the poet and the novelist; while at the same time her researches seem to throw such light over the darker shades in his chequered career, as to induce the strongest presumption that he was not guilty of, or accessory to, those startling crimes which have been charged to his account. The limits, however, of the brief introduction allotted to this work, compel us to turn our attention from scenes of battle and of blood to other, and to us more interesting portions of his history. When, on the partition f of Warwick's vast domains between the sister heiresses, the lordship and manor of Middleharn, with its ancestral castle, became the fair heritage of Gloucester in * Historic of the Arrival of Edward IV. ; Warkworth's Chronicle ; and Polydore Vergil; being Nos. I. X. and XXVIII. of the Camden Society's publications.

The Charge to the New Archbishop The Bishop of Newcastle summarises the Charge which has been issued at the Confirmation of Election. Stephen, beloved in Christ, as Archbishop of York, you have been charged to serve and care for the flock of Christ, you have been charged with refreshing the witness and mission of the Church and ensuring the church is a safe place for all people. You have been charged to promote the unity of the whole church and encourage us to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the world. You have been charged to be a voice for the voiceless, to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. You cannot bear the weight of this calling in your own strength, but only by the grace and power of God. Pray therefore that your heart may daily be enlarged and your understanding of the Scriptures enlightened. Pray earnestly for the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Archbishop of York responds: I have accepted this Charge. By the help of God, with trust in Our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the strength of the Holy Spirit, I will faithfully endeavour to honour this mission. 3 Reading Students from across the Northern Province offer the new Archbishop some advice.

  • York Minster's Chapter House and Its Painted Glass Narratives
    York Minster’s Chapter House and its Painted Glass Narratives Volume 1 of 3 Ann Hilary Moxon PhD University of York History of Art December 2017 Abstract This thesis focuses on the late thirteenth-century narrative glazing scheme of the chapter house in York Minster and the political and religious context of its design. Created as an intrinsic and integrated part of one of the most elaborate and important buildings in the period, the glass has suffered interventions affecting both its appearance and the positions of its narrative panels. By examining the glass in the context of contemporary visual and textual material, it has been possible to reconstruct the original order of the panels and to identify the selection of episodes the lives of the saints, some for the first time. The study has demonstrated the extent to which the iconography was rooted in liturgy and theology relevant to the period which, in turn, reflected the priorities of a dominant group among the active members of Chapter for whose use the building was constructed and, by extension, the contemporary Church. Further, the glass shows strong Mariological themes which reflected features in the rest of the decorative scheme and the architecture of the chapter house, indicating that the glazing scheme may have been conceived as part of the architectural whole. The conclusions are supported by parallel research into the prosopography of the contemporary Chapter which additionally suggests that the conception of the programme may have had its roots in the baronial wars of the

    SUBJECT: We need a bold plan to stop Alzheimer's! Dear Secretary Sebelius, Although the official comment period has closed for the NAPA draft plan, I'm writing today to urge you to go bolder with the final plan to be released by HHS later this month. Alzheimer's is a cruel disease. It slowly steals one's intellect, ability to communicate, independence, and dignity, even control over basic bodily functions like eating and caring for personal hygiene. It also places an overwhelming burden on caregivers -- emotionally, physically, and financially. The commitment to a 2025 deadline in the draft NAPA plan represents a major step forward in the fight against Alzheimer's. I am pleased that the plan recognizes the need for increasing enrollment in clinical trials, compressing the drug development process, accelerating targeted research, and better coordinating activities with other countries. However, I am one of many concerned Alzheimer's advocates who believe that this first draft fails to present a strategy aggressive enough to achieve the goal of preventing and treating Alzheimer's within 13 years. It lacks specificity in terms of timelines and deadlines, provides no path to providing significantly greater resources, and does not hold a single high-level office or individual accountable for the overall plan. I hope that HHS will address these issues so that the next version of the plan will be bolder. With the number of Alzheimer's patients expected to triple in the coming decades, we must embrace a plan that eschews a "business-as-usual" approach and tackles Alzheimer's with the urgency and aggressiveness it requires.
