For the most part the report, as is appropriate, is a reflection on 2019; but it would be negligent of me not to include, by means of this addendum, an acknowledgment of the many challenges that Wakefield Cathedral will face in the future as a result of Covd-19. The scale of these challenges will no doubt become apparent in the statutory accounts for 2020 and beyond, but as the going concern note indicates Chapter is confident of being able to face these challenges robustly – not least because of the quality of the cathedral staff under the leadership of our COO Neil Holland. I am glad to pay tribute to them all, and to thank them for the remarkable loyalty and flexibility they have consistently shown during the strangest spring and early summer any of us can remember. The Very Revd Simon Cowling Dean of Wakefield June 2020 He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all. Sinclair Lewis, 1885-1951 As I write, we are now some months in to the ‘Year of Cathedrals, Year of Pilgrimage’, an important initiative of the Association of English Cathedrals. As a cathedral dean, I am wholeheartedly in favour of encouraging as many people as possible to visit the nation’s ‘flagships of the spirit’ as they have been called. But my opening quotation from the American novelist Sinclair Lewis offers an important counterweight to the idea of religious tourism, emphasising as it does the particularity of place and the associated importance of what the Benedictines call ‘stabilitas’, of commitment to the place in which one has been called to serve God in whatever capacity. My first full year as Dean of Wakefield has renewed in me a sense of the importance of ‘stabilitas’ as an essential ingredient of my ministry. I have come to love Wakefield Cathedral deeply, and to understand more fully the important role it has to play in the city, district and diocese. Like all cathedrals, Wakefield has what is sometimes called a multivalent appeal.

  • Canon Precentor Information Pack
    w Canon Precentor Information Pack A message from the Bishop and Dean Thank you for your interest in the post of Canon Precentor. This is a time of great opportunity for Wakefield Cathedral. As we begin to emerge from a tumultuous period in the life of our nation and the Church, we are being challenged to think afresh about the future shape of our ministry and mission. This thinking is informed by Chapter’s Strategic Vision, Firm in Hope, which was launched last Advent, and by the Leeds Diocesan Strategy, Maturing in Christ,which articulates a vision of Confident Christians, Growing Churches, and Transformed Communities. As one of the three cathedrals of the Diocese of Leeds, Wakefield Cathedral is ideally placed to support the Bishop in working towards this vision: our building, situated at the heart of the city, has been magnificently refurbished and offers enormous scope for a colleague who has an imaginative, creative and thoughtful approach to liturgy and worship and the way in which it can serve and enrich both our mission, and the mission of the Diocese of Leeds. We hope that you will consider prayerfully the possibility that God may be calling you to serve in this exciting role. May God bless you as you do so. +Nick Baines Simon Cowling Bishop of Leeds Dean of Wakefield If you would like an informal conversation with the Dean about this role, by telephone or Zoom, please arrange an appointment by contacting Bev Howes, Dean’s PA, in the cathedral office on 01924 373923 or [email protected] Please email your completed application form to: Neil Holland, Chief Operating Officer, Cathedral Centre, 8-10 Westmorland Street, Wakefield WF1 1PJ E: [email protected] T: 01924 373923 The closing date for applications is 12:00 on Friday 01 October 2021.

  • MS Dep 1980/1 Archives of the Dean and Chapter Of
    Handlist 47 LEEDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Archives of the Dean and Chapter of Ripon MS Dep 1980/1 The greater part of their accumulated archives was very generously deposited recently in the Brotherton Library of the University of Leeds by the Dean and Chapter of Ripon. It is hoped that by this arrangement the material will be more conveniently accessible to the majority of researchers. A few items, however, remain at Ripon because they are currently in use or are on permanent display to visitors. The cathedral was a parish church before it was raised to its present status and the parish registers are deposited at the North Yorkshire County Record Office, Northallerton. This list includes both the material remaining at Ripon and that at Northallerton. The archives of the Dean and Chapter have been listed twice before. A summary list was prepared for the Pilgrim Trust in 1946. A much fuller list was compiled for the National Register of Archives (Historical Manuscripts Commission) and issued in 1959. Upon the archives being inspected after their arrival at Leeds it was immediately apparent that the collection contained even more than had been listed in 1959, and it was decided with the ready concurrence of the Commission, that a new listing would be essential. This new list has been designed to avoid as much confusion as possible. It follows the style and numeration of the 1959 list and new entries have been inserted as close as possible to suitable places within its original framework. Some documents had identifications unrelated to the serial numbers used in that list; they have now been numbered to correspond and the additional items have been given appropriate subdivisions within the original notation.

  • The Bishop of Leeds Wishes to Appoint a Priest-In-Charge (House for Duty) to St Chad Toller Lane, Bradford
    The Bishop of Leeds wishes to appoint a Priest-in-Charge (House for Duty) to St Chad Toller Lane, Bradford St Chad’s Church, Toller Lane Version 0.6 01.09.18 St Chad’s Toller Lane, Bradford Bishop’s Statement I am committed to ensuring that we retain a strong and viable presence of the accessible Catholic tradition within the Anglican church in the Bradford Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Leeds. St Chad’s Bradford is one of two significant parishes from within that tradition in the city of Bradford. St Chad’s is a church with a strong traditional Anglo-Catholic heritage. It has an eclectic congregation and is set in an inner city parish with a predominantly Asian Muslim population. The church building and its adjacent modern church hall are both in good condition. St Chad’s enjoyed the ministry of its previous vicar for some 47 years until his retirement last year and now therefore needs to face the challenges associated with a new sea- son. There will also be a particular additional role here to help St Chad’s positively engage with the developing Anglican structures in that part of Bradford - the neighbouring parishes of St Philip’s Girlington, St Paul’s Man- ningham, St Barnabas Heaton and St Martin Heaton have recently come together as a single parish to support each other more effectively. I am convinced that the future lies in churches working together more than ever before. As we look at the par- ishes across the city of Bradford and plan for a shared future within the new Diocese, I want St Chad’s to play a full part in those conversations.
