  • Cathedral News
    Cathedral News August 2019 – No. 688 From: The Dean We’ve recently gone through the process of Peer Review. After the Chapter had completed a lengthy self-evaluation questionnaire on matters of governance and finance and so on, three reviewers came from other cathedrals to mark our homework. Or rather, to bring an external perspective to bear, and help us refine our thinking about where we are heading as a cathedral. In spite of our natural wariness in advance, only to be expected given the amount of external scrutiny the cathedral has undergone in recent years, it was an encouraging experience. More of that, however, in a future Cathedral News. For now, I want to pick up on a comment made by all three reviewers. They came to us from Liverpool, Winchester, and Ely, and all expressed delight, and surprise, at the splendour of our cathedral: “We had no idea what a marvellous building it is!” For me, their observations provoked two questions... Is it because we all take the building for granted? Or is it because we’ve failed to tell our story effectively? I suspect there is truth behind both these questions. We all know how ‘distance lends enchantment to the view’; and the converse is also clearly true. It is not that familiarity necessarily breeds contempt, but you cannot live in a perpetual state of wonderment. Sir Simon Jenkins, the author of all those books on beautiful houses and railway stations and churches and cathedrals, told of his visit to Exeter: “I came into the cathedral and sat in silence for half an hour, overwhelmed by the beauty of the place.” I have the benefit of being in the cathedral every day, and will often speak of how our vaulted ceiling lifts my heart daily to heaven.

  • Dac Members - Biographies
    Churchyard DAC MEMBERS - BIOGRAPHIES Membership of the Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Care of Churches 2019 WALKER LAPTHORNE, CHAIR Walker Lapthorne is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a semi – retired Chartered Building Surveyor. He was a Partner of Taylor Lane & Creber, Chartered Surveyors, in Plymouth in the 1980’s and a Director of Stratton Creber until 1996. He joined the established Building Company, J D C Builders in the South Hams and became Managing Director after a management buy out in 2000. The company specialised in high quality new build and refurbishment and specialist conservation works. He has had direct experience of working on major church restoration and reordering projects and has worked on many significant listed buildings throughout South Devon and South East Cornwall. He is the Chair of Trustees for the Eden Cottages Alms Houses in Ivybridge. Walker believes that the development of the Church as the focal point for worship in the community will need to be accommodated by the sensitive adaptation of the buildings to ensure that they remain fit for purpose in modern times. This has to be managed without losing sight of the listed status of many of the churches and the need to ensure that they are conserved for future generations. The reconciliation of this need against the constraints of available budgets will need creative thinking from all Members and Partners of the DAC, to ensure that the appropriate advice is offered. The building stock represents a considerable asset for the Diocese and such assets will need both protection and appreciation of how they can function to serve the mission and ministry as well as the wider community, going forward.

Sadly, during August, a large branch fell off in the middle of the night, victim so the experts said to the phenomenon of ’summer drop’. Much to our relief we have been assured that the tree is otherwise in good health, subject to some pruning to balance what remains. So far as I’m aware that is the only negative change in the physical aspect of the College that I need to report. Work has continued on aspects of the fabric to ensure that the original Butterfield buildings are preserved and, where appropriate, enhanced. This has included a further phase of refurbishment of the rooms in Liddon Quad and of some of the floor tiling in the Hall. The main elements of a new lighting scheme in the Chapel have also been completed and, as a result, three valuable outcomes have been achieved: the mosaics are now visible,The Light of the World is lit to much better effect and the choir is able to read the music its members so ably perform.

  • JOB DESCRIPTION “I Long for Us to Be Caught by a Fresh Vision of the Beauty of God and of the Glory We See in the Face of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified
    Appointment of the Archdeacon of Barnstaple THE DIOCESE OF EXETER The Bishop of Exeter is seeking an imaginative and pastorally gifted priest with significant parish experience to appoint as Archdeacon of Barnstaple in succession to the Venerable Mark Butchers, following his appointment as Principal of the South-West Ministerial Training Course. She or he will have a heart for evangelism and rural mission, be committed to fostering spiritual and numerical growth, and be able to relate confidently and comfortably across the spectrum of church traditions of the Diocese. The priest appointed will be personable, prayerful and instinctively collaborative in their approach. The Archdeacons of the Diocese, of which there are four, work as a team and in close partnership with their respective Suffragan Bishop; in the case of the Archdeacon of Barnstaple, with the Bishop of Crediton. The new Archdeacon will bring to their work creative and strategic thinking and effective organisational skill in a way that enables the Church to flourish. She or he will encourage and motivate the parishes and Mission Communities of the archdeaconry to articulate a vision for the future, strengthening community resilience, supporting the formation of mature Christian disciples, and nurturing the gifts of the whole people of God. The Archdeacon will do this within a context of caring for and providing appropriate support to clergy and their families, readers, churchwardens and other lay officers as together we process the psychological and relational impact of the coronavirus pandemic and new patterns of church life and ministry emerge. Together with senior colleagues, the Archdeacons share responsibility for the vision of the Diocese and will help realise the full potential of their archdeaconries.

Practicalities Occasional offices THE PHASES OF RE-OPENING It is likely that permission will be given by the government and the national Church for our church buildings to re-open in a phased way over the next couple of months. We have drawn up this document to help clergy and PCCs think through the decisions and actions they need to take in preparation for this. In a Mission Community with more than one church building, we recommend that decisions about which churches will reopen and for what purposes are taken by the Mission Community as a whole. This document covers the following: The likely phases of re-opening churches Whether to re-open a church or not The practical things to consider in relation to Pray: reopening our churches for prayer and worship Grow: how to deepen our church life Serve: how best to serve our local community THANK YOU to all our Occasional offices clergy and laity who are Bellringing working so hard and so Ministers over 70 creatively in the current crisis.
