Cathedral Officers and Advisers 48 Who We Are Cathedrals within the Church of England hold a unique position in society, which enables them to connect people with the sacred, build links between individuals, organisations and communities, and sustain tradition and identity. Guildford Cathedral is a modern expression of this traditional sacred space: the last Church of England cathedral consecrated on a new site (1961), and rooted in local identity and living memories through the many ‘brickgivers’ who helped fund its completion. At its heart of the life of a cathedral is a pattern of regular worship offered to God.
