We see this new senior role as vital to building up the capacity and sustainability of the cathedral’s ministry, and even more so as we emerge from some of the most challenging months the nation has known in peacetime for several generations. Wakefield Cathedral is not wealthy. In common with its sister cathedrals, it receives no statutory funding and is dependent on generating its own income to support its work. We are fortunate to receive discretionary funding from the Church Commissioners which covers around 30% of our current annual expenditure; the remainder is drawn from voluntary congregational giving, donations, grant applications, fundraising and income generated from events. The person appointed will undoubtedly need resilience and persistence as well as experience. They will also be joining a team of people fully committed to the flourishing of the cathedral’s ministry at the heart of the city and the wider Diocese of Leeds. I hope that the pack stimulates you to consider applying, and we look forward to hearing from you. The Very Revd Simon Cowling Dean of Wakefield Joyful – Generous – Inclusive 2 Application Pack – Income & Funding Manager The Cathedral The Cathedral stands on the site of a Saxon church in the centre of Wakefield.

    REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association

    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.

    A View from the Archives of Durham, St Paul's, and York Minster

    Cathedral music and the First World War: A view from the Archives of Durham, St Paul’s, and York Minster Enya Helen Lauren Doyle Master of Arts (by research) University of York Music July 2016 Abstract This thesis explores the impact of the First World War on English Cathedral music, both during the long four years and in its aftermath. Throughout this study, reference will be made specifically to three English cathedrals: York Minster, Durham and St Paul’s. The examination will be carried out chronologically, in three parts: before the war (part one), during the war (part two) and after the war (part three). Each of these three parts consists of two chapters. Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 help to set the scene and offer context. In chapters 2- 5 there is a more focused and systematic investigation into the day-to-day administrative challenges that the Cathedrals faced, followed in each chapter by an assessment of the musical programme. Chapter 6 examines the long-term impact of the war on British cathedral music, especially in the centenary anniversary years. The Great War is often perceived as a complete break with the past, yet it also represented an imaginative continuity of sorts. As such, 1914-18 can be seen as a period of twilight in a lot of senses. The war managed to bring the flirtation with modernism, which was undoubtedly happening at the beginning of the century, to at least a temporary halt. Through the examination of the archives of the three cathedrals, this thesis investigates how the world war left its mark on the musical life of this portion of English religious and music life, during and after the war, drawing national comparisons as well as showing the particulars of each cathedral.

    From: The Dean The Very Revd Nicholas Henshall 9 June 2020 CHELMSFORD CATHEDRAL RE-OPENING Chelmsford Cathedral is re-opening for personal prayer and reflection on 4th July and will then be open every day from 11 am to 3 pm. The Dean writes: I am delighted to announce that Chelmsford Cathedral is re-opening for personal prayer and reflection on 4th July. The Cathedral will then be open daily from 11 am to 3 pm. This is a great moment, and it is important to stress that is just a first step. Public worship will not resume for some time to come, but it has been wonderful to welcome so many joining us on-line for the daily prayer. That will continue to be streamed live on Facebook at 7.45 am and 5.15 pm every day, with the Eucharist streamed on Sundays at 10.30 am. From 4th July the interior of the Cathedral will be laid out in a different way. This is to comply fully with guidance from the Government and from the Church of England. We are determined to ensure that everyone who visits the Cathedral can do so in full confidence that it is a safe and secure environment. A one-way system will be in operation through the Cathedral, with everyone entering through the South Door and leaving through the North Door. There will be handwash at the door which everyone must use, and certain areas will not accessible, including the vestry block. Any seating in the Cathedral will be appropriately distanced, and every chair will be cleaned after every use, in accordance with the guidelines.
