  • Centenary of the First World War the Battle of Jutland
    CENTENARY OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR THE BATTLE OF JUTLAND The National Commemoration of the Centenary of the Battle of Jutland 31 May 2016 St. Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney The Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Lyness Royal Naval Cemetery, Hoy Jutland Bank THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE BATTLE OF JUTLAND 31 May 2016 St. Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney The Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Lyness Royal Naval Cemetery, Hoy Jutland Bank Front cover Ships of the Grand Fleet at anchor, Scapa Flow, 1916 © IWM SP1680 2 1 The clash between the British and German fleets in 1916 is described as the Battle of Jutland, but, in truth, the battle was fought over a huge area of the North Sea. It involved more ships than any previous naval battle. It also came at an awkward time in the development of power-driven warships. Their speed was much greater, but communication by radio was still in its infancy and radar had not been invented, while funnel smoke made communications by flags or light much more difficult. The potential for things to go wrong – always very great in sea battles – was greater than ever. There was, understandably, public disappointment with the result, but there is no doubt that it was fought with the highest courage and determination under the most difficult and challenging conditions. Whatever the judgement on the outcome, this commemoration of the centenary of the Battle is focused on the endurance and gallantry of all those who took part, on both sides, and particularly, on those who lost their lives.

  • Sunday 3Rd June 2018 First Sunday After Trinity
    Sunday 3rd June 2018 First Sunday after Trinity You may have noticed a new art installation in the Welcome Area! It is a site specific installation as part of our annual theme of ‘Time’, funded by the Arts Council and created by Chris Jenkins who was also responsible for the Willow Dome on the Cathedral Green. The piece is formed of hundreds of smaller pieces, each of which have come from different places, where they had a different identity and purpose. The changing light from within the structure also reminds us of the passage of time through the days and seasons. It contains a digital countdown clock to remind us of the passage of time, deadlines and the pressure and focus this can provide for us. Exploring the theme, Chris has been looking at the earliest timekeeping methods as well as megalithic formations built to mark lunar and solar movements. It would be true to say that this sculpture has not been universally greeted with enthusiasm. However, for much of the past week people have been talking about it and what it represents. This has led to ongoing conversations about art and time. Art should provoke a response, both intellectually and emotionally. This installation has achieved that already. Chris will be with us for a reception sometime in the next couple of months to talk about his work and this piece in particular. If this has whet your appetite to explore faith, art, spirituality and your creative side in more depth then why not come along to this Tuesday’s Creative Spirituality evening, St.

  • Rogation Sunday”
    Sunday 6th May 2018 Sixth Sunday of Easter - “Rogation Sunday” Time sermons So far this year we have had a sermon each month on the theme of Time. Peter launched the theme in January; I offered some reflections on ‘Liturgical Time’ in February; Ruth Tuschling preached in March about ‘the Soul in Time’ and how we grow spiritually. The Dean’s Holy Week addresses concluded on Easter Day at Evensong, linking poetry and the WWI centenary with thoughts about time, hope and eternity. Today is Rogation Sunday and we take up the theme again. Canon Anthony is preaching about ‘time and history’ - before we go after the 10.30 service to ‘Beat the Bounds’. This is a historic and fun opportunity to walk the boundary of the Cathedral parish, and ask God’s blessing for the year ahead. The series of Time sermons will continue through the rest of the year, as below. A recording of all these key sermons will be available on the website. At the end of the year, we may look to put the whole collection together as a small book for people to reflect on and revisit the whole range of ideas and insights in the future and in your own time! 3rd Jun The Venerable Ian Wheatley Royal Navy, Chaplain of the Fleet and Archdeacon for the Royal Navy: “Time and Tide” (linking to D-Day) 8th Jul Dr David Price: “The Music of Time” (at the end of the choir term) 12th Aug Kitty Price “Sabbath Time” (rest, refreshment, holidays and holy days) 2nd Sep Canon Nick Ralph: “Time and Social change” (at the start of the new term) 30th Sep Patronal Festival weekend: “Celebration Time!” 4th Nov The Revd Matt Bray: “Called out of Time” (All Saints, All Souls and our own vocation) 2nd Dec Canon Angela Tilby: “The End of Time” (time, cosmology and the universe) Jo Spreadbury Canon Precentor Encountering God through transformative worship, challenging discipleship, generous hospitality and prayerful engagement.

    THE ARCHDEACONS’ FORUM for the Church of England and the Church in Wales Archdeacons’ News Bulletin no. 36 July 2018 from Norman Boakes Archdeacons’ National Executive Officer Many of us may well be looking forward to summer holidays and possibly a slight easing of the pressures over the summer period. While the summer period is by no means as quiet as it used to be, there is still often a chance to catch up and to read material which has been put to one side. This edition of the Archdeacons’ News contains a good deal of detailed material which you may already have received by other means. It is included here to ensure that you have received it, and provide an easy reference for you to follow up if you wish to do so. For those in the Church in Wales or the Diocese in Europe, some of it may be of passing interest, but it may prompt you either to rejoice that your structures are simpler, or to inspire similar activity where needed. I hope you all have a good summer, and find some time for re-creation and refreshment. With my best wishes and prayers, as always, Norman [email protected] 023 8076 7735 * * * * * A reminder – in this newsletter, if something has a purple heading and a black text, it is new material; if it has a black heading and grey text, it has been here before. 1 Archdeacons’ Training Events Church Commissioners’ 2018 Mission and Pastoral Conferences With the Mission and Pastoral etc (Amendment) Measure due to come into effect later this year, the Commissioners are holding a series of conferences on the changes being brought in and other associated matters which should be very useful for those involved in pastoral reorganisation work, including Archdeacons, DMPC Secretaries, some Diocesan Secretaries, Diocesan Missioners and others.
