Prayer 2. Choir Tour Presentation 3. Apologies for absence 4. Reports on 2011 - enclosed 5. Cathedral Council Elections 6. Chapter Strategy 8. AOB 3 ACTING DEAN’S REPORT 2011 saw the arrival of a new Bishop of Ely and the retirement of the 34th Dean of Ely. On 5th March the Rt Revd Stephen Conway was Installed and Enthroned as the 69th Bishop of Ely. On Sunday September 26th we said ‘Thank You and Farewell’ to Michael and Janet Chandler and paid tribute to their ministry over the last eight years. Arrangements for the appointment of a new Dean began in July when the Archbishops’ Secretary for Appointments and the Prime Minister’s Appointments Secretary spent 24 hours in Ely consulting with over 90 people from the cathedral and diocese. On 11th April this year it was announced that Canon Mark Bonney, currently Canon Treasurer at Salisbury Cathedral, has been appointed the 35th Dean of Ely. Canon Bonney will be installed on 22nd September and we look forward to welcoming him, his wife Kate and their daughters Hannah and Ellie, when they move to Ely. Some of the highlights in 2011 include: The Thanksgiving Service held on 10th February for the late Bishop Peter Walker during which the Archbishop of Canterbury interred Bishop Peter’s ashes in St Dunstan's Chapel; The dedication of John Maddison’s new Reredos in the Lady Chapel; The performance of Haydn’s ‘Seven Last Words from the Cross’ by the Bridge Quartet and Steve Bingham’s performance of Bach’s Chaconne in D minor for unaccompanied violin on Good Friday; The Volunteers’ Evensong and Reception on 7th June at which we thanked Ella Thurmott for her work as a Cathedral Guide for some 22 years; A series of lectures to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James’ version of the Bible; The fifth birthday of Ely Cathedral Octagon Singers – the cathedral’s voluntary choir. The Cathedral remains a popular venue for concerts/events. The 22 bookings last year ranged from a production of ‘West Side Story’ in January; a showing of ‘The King’s Speech’ on the day of the Royal Wedding in April; an evening with James Bowman in June; a performance of Walton’s ‘Belshazzar’s Feast’ in November to mark the Quincentenary of St John’s College, Cambridge; two major Christmas Concerts (featuring the cathedral choirs) as well as many lunchtime concerts and organ recitals. 4 Eleven Chapter meetings were held in 2011. In addition to keeping a close eye on financial performance, Chapter investigated the use of solar energy, approved the installation of new boilers for the under floor heating system in the Lady Chapel, amended the Constitution and Statutes to allow the appointment of up to 10 Lay Canons and 3 Ecumenical Canons, approved the installation of footpath lighting in the Park and repairs to the North Transept. The November meeting was dedicated to formulating Chapter Strategy for wider consultation in 2012. I thank my Chapter colleagues Alan Hargrave, Jim Garrard, Rosemary Hughes, Susan Pope, Tom Green, Hugh Shilson-Thomas, our Administrator, John Harrison, and all staff and volunteers for their continued dedication, support and prayers for the cathedral’s ministry and mission. Congratulations are due to John Harrison on being made a Lay Canon and to Tom Green on being made a Deputy Lieutenant. We begin our meetings with the Collect for Feast of St Etheldreda and I commend it to you so that we may be worthy successors of our foundress: Eternal God, who bestowed such grace upon your servant Etheldreda that she gave herself wholly to the life of prayer and to the service of your true religion: grant that we, like her, may so live our lives on earth seeking your kingdom that by your guiding we may be joined to the glorious fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Canon David Pritchard 5 MUSIC The music and liturgical worship offered in the Cathedral included several particular highlights, without undermining the day by day offering of Sung Eucharists and Evensongs by the three choirs which are part of the Cathedral’s Foundation and life. Hidden sometimes from these reports are ‘special’ services like the Justice Service where the choir’s music making is a vital part of the impact and importance of the event to those attending, often who know the Cathedral only slightly. The Enthronement of Bishop Stephen as 69th Bishop of Ely was a once in a decade event and the Girls, Boys and Men choristers all sang together, as did the Ely Cathedral Octagon Singers, as has become a regular pattern. Girls, Boys and Men also sang at the splendid Farewell Sunday Sung Eucharist for the retiring Dean. The reordered Lady Chapel reredos and altar were blessed at a Sung Eucharist at the end of June and included a very much appreciated orchestral performance of Mozart’s atzenmesse with members of Ely Sinfonia. There was an excellent first performance of the Director of Music Paul Trepte’s setting of a Clive Sansom poem Mary of Nazareth as part of these celebrations. The Girls’ choir with lay clerks, directed by Sarah MacDonald and organ played by Oliver Hancock, broadcast Choral Evensong for the first time on BBC Radio 3 to great acclaim. Among the regular annual services, the singing of Bach’s Magnificat at Orchestral Festal Evensong on Easter Day was of the highest quality as were the two Carol services – sung by Girls and Men and Boys and Men respectively. Numbers attending all Christmas services were noticeably increased. Thanks are warmly due to all members of the music staff and to the three Directors, Paul Trepte, Sarah MacDonald and Jan Payne. Canon James Garrard 6 PASTORAL CARE The Canon Pastor has oversight of the pastoral needs of the cathedral congregation and community (both volunteers and employees) and is responsible for overseeing all arrangements for the Occasional Offices (Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals/Memorial Services), hospital visits and home communions. He works collaboratively with Chapter colleagues, the seven Priest Vicars (retired clergy associated with the cathedral) and the twelve members of the Cathedral Pastoral Team. Set up in 2006 the Team’s purpose is to ‘enhance the provision of pastoral care for the cathedral community’ by meeting monthly and keeping in touch with those who have asked for our prayers. Caring permeates every area of cathedral life. The congregations, cathedral staff and volunteers support each other. Every aspect of cathedral life is included in the monthly cycle of prayer which is used at the daily offices. In response to demand the Ministry of Healing is now offered weekly at the main Sunday Sung Eucharist. The occasional offices statistics for 2011 are (2010 figures in brackets): 9 Baptisms/Thanksgivings (9); 17 Weddings (8); Marriage Blessings 1 (0); Funerals/Memorial Services 6 (11). Canon David Pritchard 7 MISSION & EDUCATION Ely Cathedral Centre The Cathedral Centre houses our Education Department and offers an easy interface with the wider community. Since taking up post at the beginning of February 2011 our excellent new Centre Manager has implemented changes which have helped to double room hires. Apart from commercial lets the centre is used by a number of groups, such as Alzheimer’s, Youth Clubs and Youth support services, which further the cathedral’s mission. Recent improvements to the centre include repainting to create ‘feature walls’ in the Etheldreda and Ovin Rooms, opening the basement for customer use, a new coffee station in the Etheldreda room, partial refurbishing of the kitchen area, new signage, a new Centre leaflet and corporate hospitality pack for potential clients, provision of wifi and a new website www.centre.elycathedral.org), including an online booking and contact form. A new swipe card entry system has improved security for staff and users and offers better control of who enters the building, particularly when the office is not ‘manned’. Two craft fairs in 2011 proved really successful. These will now run three times a year at Easter, in the summer and at Christmas. There is currently a waiting list of over 100 crafters. Plans for the year ahead include increasing bookings on a Saturday (the only day that the centre is regularly underused) possibly for children’s parties, weddings and christenings. Education & Mission to Children & Young People In spite of a difficult financial year for schools, we welcomed over 9,000 young people to the Cathedral in 2011, slightly more than in 2010. Schools continue to value the unique experience that the Cathedral offers. We are currently targeting schools from poorer areas with a view to subsidizing their visits. Our aim is that the cathedral’s history should become interwoven with young people’s own stories. The building does much of the work; our task is to enable the young people the freedom to engage and respond. Hence our Monastic Days, so popular with schools, re-create the medieval monastery in Ely, but also give an understanding of commitment, stability and the ways in which belief affects lifestyle. Our Anglo-Saxon Days, full of action and drama, involve reflection on choices, moral dilemmas and loyalty. 8 The same is true of the Christian stories enshrined in the building itself, as young people consider its understanding of life and see if it finds echoes in their own. Thus we lie beneath the Octagon, looking up into that particular image of heaven and wonder what is our own? The new portable labyrinth has just arrived, thanks to a grant from the Keswick Trust.

The Rt Revd Stephen Conway is the Area, or Suffragan, Bishop of Ramsbury, in the Diocese of Salisbury, which he is currently ‘minding’ as there is also an ‘episcopal interregnum’ in that diocese. Bishop Stephen was trained at Westcott House here in Cambridge, and until he became Bishop of Ramsbury in 2006 served all his ministry in the Diocese of Durham, in two curacies, then as a Parish Priest, as Director of Ordinands and Bishop’s Chaplain, and finally as an Archdeacon.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA Gallican Vision, Anglican
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Gallican Vision, Anglican Perspectives: The Reception of the Works of Louis Ellies Du Pin into England A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Dennis R. Di Mauro Washington, D.C. 2012 Gallican Vision, Anglican Perspectives: The Reception of the Works of Louis Ellies Du Pin into England Dennis R. Di Mauro, Ph.D. Director: Jacques M. Grès-Gayer, D. Hist., D. Theo. Acting Director: Nelson H. Minnich, Ph.D. This dissertation examines the twenty-seven English editions of famed Gallican church historian Louis Ellies Du Pin. While Du Pin‘s life and works have been extensively researched by Grès-Gayer, his English translations, and reactions to them, have never been fully studied. The research takes an in-depth look at his Protestant editors‘ comments, as well as those of other prominent scholars who cite Du Pin‘s works in their own. Their varied depictions of Du Pin include: Protestant sympathizer, pre- enlightenment scholar, and a staunch Catholic. The dissertation includes English Catholic reactions to Du Pin as a traitor to the Catholic cause and a closet Jansenist. Was the ―English Du Pin‖ the Real Du Pin? The conclusion explains how the English misunderstood him, and explores the many facets of the real scholar: a debunker of ancient forgeries, an agenda-driven Gallican, and a clumsy ecumenist. i This dissertation by Dennis R. Di Mauro fulfills the requirement for the doctoral degree in church history approved by Jacques M.
