Children At Leicester ‘K’athedral
We warmly welcome our children today. CHALK meets in in the Old Song School, in
the Cathedral. We ask that children who regularly attend are brought by their
parents/carer just before the start of the 10.30 service. There will be an extra
opportunity for visiting children to join them early in the service when the Celebrant
indicates. There is a play/books area for supervised small children in the Old Song
School too. The children will return to their parents/carers either before or after the
Eucharistic prayer. For those who do not wish to attend CHALK a supply of books,
crayons and soft toys are available from the sidespeople. Please return these at the
end of the service. For any further assistance, please ask members of the Welcome
Team.

Congregational Meeting
The coming months are a time to experiment with how best to use the re-ordered
Cathedral. There are lots of questions, including:




Where to normatively position the choir stalls?
Where is it best for the clergy to stand and lead from?
What blocks of seating should we usually set out?
Should we keep the temporary wooden plinth until the next stage of reordering or should we consider removing it now?
 Where should we have coffee after the service?
 Are there changes we need to make to the way we run Sunday in light of more
visitors coming to the Cathedral?
Please send your views to Canon Johannes Arens so that we can collate the range
of opinions. The Dean will hold a congregational meeting in the Cathedral on
Sunday 20 September at 12.00pm following the morning service to hear directly
from you and this will assist Chapter coming to a mind about how best we proceed.
Resurrection Life
The Lent group which met at St Nicholas expressed a desire to explore the
Resurrection and to keep meeting! There will be an opportunity for this to happen
and for anyone else to join us on Thursday 7 May, following Choral Evensong, at
Canon Rosy’s house in a similar format of a simple meal, and a time of meditation and
discussion, ending with compline by about 8.30pm. We also hope to gather round
the Ascension Day service on Thursday 14 May – watch this space.

Sunny George Curacy
As those of you at the 10.30am Eucharist last Sunday will know, Sunny George is
going to serve a very unusual curacy in relationship with the Cathedral. Sunny has
been pastoring All Saints Church, which is an Asian language congregation, for several
years, and they have decided to become Anglicans en bloc and been given the church
formerly known as St Gabriel’s in Belgrave. Pastor Sunny has been training for
ordination part-time at The Queens Foundation in Birmingham. He will continue to
pastor his own church as a full-time stipendiary priest and Canon Rosy will be his
training supervisor. The Cathedral will offer Sunny a placement during this time to
help him discover Anglicanism. We hope this will help us understand the growing
diversity and life of our Diocese better.
Canon Rosy Fairhurst

a national perspective. This will take place on Tuesday 19 May from 7.30pm –
9.00pm in the Grand Hall, St Martins House. All are encouraged to attend.
A Prayer for the Process of Choosing a New Bishop of Leicester
Loving God,
in whose hand we are shaped and moulded,
raise up your church in this place, we pray,
and all who serve the Diocese of Leicester.
Anoint your people for service
as you call another to be their Bishop.
Pour out richly your gifts of unity and fellowship,
that we may glorify your name,
grow deeper in your love
and see your kingdom come.
Amen.

Community Committee Elections May 2015
The Community Committee exists to support the Bishop, the Dean and Chapter in
offering a warm welcome and hospitality to all who visit; providing a place of
community, learning, contemplation and quiet reflection. In recent years, this has also
meant providing support for an increasing number of activities as well as fundraising.
The AGM will be held today following today’s 10.30am Service, when those on the
Community Roll will have the opportunity to vote for representatives to stand on the
Community Committee. The following statements are from those seeking election.
Neill Addison
My name is Neill and I have been coming to the Cathedral since May 2014. I was
welcomed into this community and enjoy helping this Cathedral community. I have
made really good friends. I like to help at events when I can. I currently am on the
serving team and am honoured to be able to do this as it has helped shape my faith.
Jane Black
I wish to be re-elected on the Community Committee. I have been Secretary for
three years and although I am standing down from this position I would love to stay
on as an active member of the committee. We have a new and exciting future at the
Cathedral and I wish very much to take part in this.
Ann Reddecliffe
I am actively involved in the Cathedral community, as a warden, a subdeacon and on
the coffee rota. I want to be re-elected to the Community Committee so that I can
continue working to build the Cathedral community. I believe in an inclusive church
where everyone can belong and contribute.

Building Christian Confidence in a Multi-Faith Society
This course has been designed for Christians of every denomination, particularly
(though not exclusively) for church leaders, or for those who live or work in a multifaith setting and want to learn how to engage with their neighbours of other faiths. It
has recently been re-developed and will tackle issues such as: How to build Christian
confidence in mission, looking at the challenges and opportunities presented by Islam,
Hinduism and Sikhism; the need for churches to reconnect with marginalised groups,
how global issues affect the local situation and gender issues. The normal cost of the
course is £140 but it is FREE to members of the Anglican Diocese of
Leicester. For further information please visit:
www.stphilipscentre.co.uk/church-courses/clergy-courses-2/buildingchristian-confidence. To book you place on this course, please contact
[email protected] or telephone 0116 273 3459.

approximate numbers. Parking is recommended at NCP St Nicholas Circle Leicester,
LE1 4LF as none is available at St Martins House. Limited public blue-badge parking is
also available off Applegate. If you would like to make a donation to Bishop Tim’s
farewell gift, please send a cheque payable to LDBF, marked on the reverse ‘Bishop
Tim Retirement’, to Finance Dept, LDBF, St Martins House, 7 Peacock Lane,

Announcement from Canon Barry Naylor
I will be reaching the age of 65 this year and have decided to retire on 30 September.
I have written to the Bishop informing him of this and he has accepted. I have been
Urban Canon since 2002 and have greatly enjoyed, and been fulfilled by, these years
of ministry in the city centre – both blessings and challenges. Thank you for your
support and friendship during these years. There will, of course, be opportunities for
more to be said as the day draws closer. My final services will be at the Cathedral on
Sunday 27 September.
Canon Barry Naylor
Cathedral Parking on Sunday
We have recently reviewed the costs associated with the New Street car park that is
available to members of the congregation on Sunday mornings. Unfortunately the
amount collected does not cover the cost to the Cathedral and we have therefore
revised the weekly payment to £3.00 per vehicle. With this in mind, we are also
introducing a three month pre-paid ticket to the car park. The period will start on 1
April 2015 and run through to 30 June 2015. The cost of the pre-paid card is £30,
which brings the cost of parking each Sunday down to £2.50 per vehicle. To purchase
a ticket, please make your cheque payable to “Leicester Cathedral” and send to Gillian
Aird, Cathedral Admin Office, St Martins House, 7 Peacock Lane, Leicester, LE1 5PZ.
For those wishing to “pay on the day” there will still be a facility to do this, however
at the end of June, the situation will be reviewed and a decision on the financial
viability of the car park will be made.

Leicester Cathedral Walking Group – On the trail of Richard III
As Richard III is featuring so prominently in the Cathedral’s life, it is fitting that the
Walking Group should visit other churches that have a connection to our much
maligned King.
Visit 2/15 – Saturday 16 May 2015 – St Nicholas Church, Stanford upon Avon
Continuing our Richard III theme the second visit and walk of the 2015 season for the
Cathedral Walking Group will be to St Nicholas Church at Stanford upon Avon on
Saturday 16 May 2015. The visit will follow our established pattern of lunch at a
nearby hostelry, The Chequers, High Street, Swinford, near Lutterworth, LE17 6BL
arriving at 12.00 noon for lunch at 12.30pm.
To enable the pub to provide our lunches at 12.30 we have been asked to pre-select
our food from their lunchtime menu, copy available from Mick McQuade.
After lunch we will visit St Nicholas Church at 1.30pm and then enjoy a short walk
lasting about an hour and a half, through the surrounding countryside. On the walk
discover the amazing Percy Pilcher and his contribution to modern day life. Another
little known legend of Leicestershire.
If you would like to join the Cathedral Walking Group please note the date in your
diary and book in with Mick McQuade. The programme of walks for the 2015
season is shown below. The dates and destinations have yet to be confirmed and the
order may change depending upon access to the various churches and to avoiding
weddings.

Welcome to New Girl Choristers
It seems ages since we held this year’s auditions for the Cathedral Choirs, but the
time has finally arrived for the new singers to start. Today is the first time that the
new Junior Girl Choristers will be with us at the morning Eucharist and so we extend
a very warm welcome to Ruby Orton, Neve Modha, Isobelle Lakin, Edie Richards,
Olivia Burgess, Amber Dakin and Matilda Lakin. Isobelle, Amber and Matilda are from
our DioSing! schools whilst Olivia Burgess has been attending the Saturday morning
sessions that we run for five- to seven-year olds, so it’s good to see the work put
into training the next generation of Choristers coming to fruition.
Full-Time Post for Cathedral Organist Simon Headley
We’re also delighted to announce that Simon Headley is now employed full-time by
Leicester Cathedral as Cathedral Organist and Assistant Director of Music. This has,
in fact, been the case since December of last year, but it is only recently that we have
been able to secure the funding to extend the provision beyond the period leading up
to the reinterment services. I had been going to write that those of you who usually
attend the Cathedral only for services probably wouldn’t have realised, but in fact,
had Simon not been employed full-time over the past months, I would probably also
be in a wooden box six feet under the ground by now (which, I hope, would not have
gone unnoticed!). Simon has been a wonderful colleague since even before I started
as Director of Music and its lovely now to be able to discuss the day-to-day running
of the department and plan for its future in person, rather than by text message,
email, or in snatched conversations in the five minutes before Choristers arrive.
