We thought it might be interesting to explore this in terms of how it applies practically to our cathedral community. An initial conversation with our Dean re- vealed so much that is already happen- ing, often unseen by many of us, that I persuaded Dean Christine to talk to me at greater length- an act of hospitality in itself, as she welcomed me into the Deanery on a cold January evening after Evensong when I’m sure she would rather Lincoln Cathedral- reaching out to the diocese and county have been relaxing after a long day.

    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

  • The Installation of Canons
    Lincoln Cathedral CHORAL EVENSONG with the Installation of Canons Sunday 2nd May 2021 3.45pm Welcome to Lincoln Cathedral We are delighted to welcome you to Lincoln Cathedral for the installation of new canons, and the welcome of new members of the cathedral’s governing Chapter. A particular welcome to family, friends and congregation who have come to support those being installed today. Earlier this week the canons designate made the Declaration of Assent and swore the Oaths of Allegiance, and the Bishop of Lincoln collated them as canons of the cathedral. We gather now for their installation. Much of this afternoon’s service is sung by the choir and follows a set pattern which is offered daily in the cathedral. Its essence is praise: words, inspired by God, used to worship him and lift our minds and hearts. The singing of psalms and the reading from the Old Testament unite us with our spiritual ancestors, the Jews, and with Jesus Christ, who himself used them to praise God. Our meditation on the word of God leads us to Jesus who is the Word made flesh, and so the Magnificat - a song of praise first sung by Mary, the mother of Jesus - acts as a pivot, pointing us to the new relationship with God which is brought about in the birth of Christ. The remainder of the service celebrates that ‘new covenant’ and, in the intercessions, commits us to the life of service to which Christians are called. If the service is new to you, we hope that in the prayerful combination of words, music and silence you will find space for meaningful reflection.

  • The Column Figures on the West Portal of Rochester Cathedral
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society A QUESTION OF IDENTITY? THE COLUMN FIGURES ON THE WEST PORTAL OF ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL S. BLISS In the summer of 1991, the Romanesque west front of Rochester Cathedral (Plate I) underwent thorough cleaning and conservation.' This event draws attention, once again, to the significance of the façade and its sculptural enrichment within the development of English Romanesque art. The west portal (Plate II) is an important monument of this period and occupies a place of special significance in understanding some of the links between the theological, cultural and artistic concerns of the day. It would appear that both the patrons and sculptors of the west portal were highly aware of contemporary Continental precedents and this is made clear by an examination of the column figures incorporated into the jambs (Plates III and IV). They instigated work, which in its theological and aesthetic programme, was unusually rare in England and, perhaps more importantly, saw fit to adapt their subject-matter to express a number of concerns both spiritual and temporal. The figures' identities have been the subject of some debate and, though contemporary scholarship identifies them as King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, it is the intention of this short paper to review their formal uniqueness within the English Romanesque, the debates surrounding their attribution and to provide a possible reading of their meaning within the context of the Rochester portal. Before describing and discussing the figures in detail, it will be useful to consider their physical context within the design of the cathedral's west front.

    MAGNA CARTA MAP See the towns where the story unfolded and the places where copies can be seen. www.magnacarta800th.com 1 Where can I see Magna Carta? THE FIVE “CHARTER TOWNS” CITY OF CANTERBURY Canterbury lay in the eye of the storm which began with the accession of Stephen Langton as Archbishop in 1207. He became implacably opposed to King John and in 1213, Archbishop Langton revived the ancient charter of Henry I. This pressure, combined with the military power of the Barons, led directly to the showdown at Runnymede. The Town of Faversham in Kent holds a 1300 version of Magna Carta. Visit Canterbury: http://www.canterbury.co.uk/ CITY OF LONDON Events that took place in the City of London on Sunday 17th May 1215, became the tipping point in the long-running battle between King John and the Barons. While everyone was at mass, the Barons simply installed their own Mayor, took over the city and then used this as leverage to compel King John to meet them at Runnymede. Visit London: http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk RUNNYMEDE Runnymede may derive from the Anglo-Saxon word “runinge”, meaning to take council and “moed” meaning meadow. Some believe that King Alfred held meetings at Runnymede in ancient times. Travel by boat along the Thames was the standard means of safe transport and the choice of venue would have added additional gravitas to the unfolding drama of Magna Carta, not lost on the recalcitrant King John.

It was a taster for the notion of Messy Church and also opened the cathedral building to families in an informal and welcoming way. Messy Church is established world- wide. It is a fun way of being church for families, with its values being Christ-cen- tred, for all ages, based on creativity, hospitality and celebration.

This time attendance dou- bled. Nearly two hundred participants heard stories and did craft activities based on the parables of the Sower, the Lost Sheep, the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. The session then moved into a ‘celebration’ time of more formal worship before finishing with everyone having a picnic lunch together.

Lincoln Cathedral: A Work of Art John Hendrix (Façade) The first line of the Introduction to Nikolaus Pevsner’s An Outline of European Architecture reads: “A bicycle shed is a building; Lincoln Cathedral is a piece of architecture.” Though this is one of the most provocative lines in architectural historiography, Pevsner’s rea- soning is unsatisfying. According to Pevsner, Lincoln Cathedral is ar- chitecture because it incorporates other arts. Then why can’t a bicycle shed? What makes a building architecture? What makes architecture a work of art? Lincoln Cathedral in fact serves as a perfect example to answer these questions because it displays as well as any building what I would propose makes a building architecture, and architecture a work of art: the structural articulation of the building expresses an idea which is not connected to the functional or structural requirements of the building.

  • St. John's Anglican Cathedral and the Beginnings of Ecclesiological Gothic in Newfoundland
    ANALYSIS I ANALYSE ST. JOHN'S ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL AND THE BEGINNINGS OF ECCLESIOLOGICAL GOTHIC IN NEWFOUNDLAND PETER COFFMAN is currently in the final stages >PETER COFFMAN 1 of a doctorate in the Department of Art at Queen's University in Kingston. He has published on numerous aspects of English medieval and Canadian Gothic Revival architecture. he Anglican cathedral of St. John Tthe Baptist in St. John's, Newfound­ land (fig. 1), is a quintessentially Eng - lish Gothic building of the thirteenth century, built six hundred years later and three thousand miles from England. Notwithstanding its remote location in one of the most impoverished corners of the British Empire, it was designed by the most famous and prolific archi­ tect of Victorian England, George (later Sir George) Gilbert Scott. The existence of such an extraordinary monument in such an unlikely place is due to the con­ vergence of a number of social, religious, economic, and architectural factors that have never received scholarly attention. The goal of this paper is to redress that neglect by examining events leading to and including the cathedral's first build­ ing campaign, which occurred from 1847 to 1850. As late as 1836, there was only one Angli­ can church in the city of St . John's. That church (fig. 2) was an extremely modest affair that would later be described as "a wooden shed of the most monstrous description."2 The process that eventu­ ally led to its replacement by Gilbert Scott's cathedral was triggered by a growing sense of crisis in the Established (i .e.

  • Download Cathedral News FEBRUARY 2021 Issue
    Cathedral News February 2021 – No. 704 From the Dean The spiritual leaders of Israel took a popular pagan fertility rite, which required the sacrifice of a first-born child, and transformed it into an act of devotion: in which the eldest son would be consecrated to the service of the Lord God. That is why Mary presented Jesus in the Temple 40 days after his birth, to consecrate him to God. In the mediaeval Church, this day came to be known as Candlemas, because it was traditional to have a candle-lit procession, recalling Simeon’s words on seeing the baby Jesus: “A light to lighten the gentiles.” Candlemas evokes in us mixed emotions. The revelation of the child in the Temple, greeted by Simeon and Anna, promotes great rejoicing: Jesus is recognised and proclaimed as the Messiah. It therefore revives the great celebrations of Christmas, which is why it is usual to see this feast as marking the end of the Christmas and Epiphany season. So this is the day when we take our Christmas crib down in the Cathedral - and at home too for that matter. But in greeting the child, Simeon also prophesies the fall and rising of many, and the sword which will pierce Mary’s soul. So this is a time to look forward as well as backwards, forward to the suffering of the cross and to Passiontide. In this sense, Candlemas is a pivotal point in the Christian year: a last glance back to Christmas, and now we turn to the cross. We leave behind the exhilaration of Bethlehem and set our course towards the deep sorrow of Jerusalem.
