S ERVICES & M USIC July Welcome This month sees a number of new beginnings and also some endings: We have a new Bishop of Bristol! At the end of last month the election of the Very Revd Vivienne Faull was confirmed and at the start of this month she will be consecrated as a Bishop in St Paul’s Cathedral. We very much look forward to welcoming her to the Diocese in October. We have eleven new deacons and nine new priests! They were ordained by the Bishop of Swindon and will be a great blessing as they serve in parishes across the Diocese. We will be saying farewell to a number of choristers, a Lay Clerk and two Choral Scholars. Their skills have enhanced our worship immeasurably and we are extremely grateful for their dedication, their commitment and their willingness to serve God in this Cathedral. We will miss them, but they leave with our prayers and good wishes as they leave here and move on to new pastures. Many of our highly-trained choristers choose to continue their musical studies in further education, often followed by a career in music. In the autumn the Archdeacon of Malmesbury, the Ven Christine Froude, will retire and at the end of July Christine will preside here at the 10.00am Eucharist. Christine and her husband David, a Lay Canon, have both been a part of Cathedral life for many years and this will give us an opportunity to thank them for their generous support. They leave Bristol with our love and our prayers as they begin this exciting and well-deserved new chapter in their lives.

It was built just outside the original walls of Bristol on high ground overlooking the river. The new monastery was dedicated to St Augustine. Initially all the abbey buildings were in Norman style (characterized by massive pillars and round arches) but between the 13th and early 16th centuries a sequence of rebuilding projects transformed the church into a Gothic one, showing the successive developments of Gothic style. The last section due to be rebuilt was the nave. However, just after the old nave had been demolished, and before much progress had been made with the rebuilding, Henry VIII dissolved the country’s monasteries and confiscated their assets. The new nave was therefore never built, and the work that had already been done was dismantled to provide stone for other projects in the area. On 9 December 1539 the last Abbot of Bristol handed over the abbey to the King’s Commissioners. Unlike many other cities, it was not originally intended that there should be a diocese of Bristol, and so its abbey was not due to become a cathedral. However, when it was discovered that St Peter’s Abbey in the nearby rival port of Gloucester was to be made a cathedral, Bristol’s citizens petitioned for equal treatment and in 1542 the disused abbey church was designated the Cathedral of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, Bristol. In 1877 the rebuilding of the nave was finally completed, 350 years after the original, Norman nave, had been demolished. 3 bristol-cathedral.co.uk Information Anthems Selected translations of anthems which are not sung in English are available from page 17.
