A Note from the Dean
Welcome to the Cathedral.
Today, the Second Sunday of Easter, we continue to celebrate the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead. This is the foundation of our faith and the source of our
hope in life. We remember that Christ longs for us to overcome our doubts and
accept the offer of life in its fullness both now and throughout eternity.
The Rev d Ruth Hi‘d t’ be Ca‘’‘ Eva‘gelist
We have —’re g’’d ‘ews; the Rev d Ruth Hi‘d, ‘’w Vicar ’f Kirk–i‘gt’‘ with
Burneston and Wath and Pickhill is to be our Canon Evangelist, taking responsibility for
the growth of the worshipping community, pastoral care and the leadership of the
PCC. We hope that she will be with us by the e‘d ’f Ju‘e. With Ruth s app’i‘t—e‘t,
Canon Elizabeth will relinquish her responsibilities as Canon Pastor, developing her
ministry as Canon Educator and also establishing our outreach to the rural
communities of the diocese.
Planned Giving
I would like to express huge gratitude to those of you who have responded to the
planned giving campaign. This has resulted in regular planned giving increasing by
about 30% which will equate to over £25,000 in a full year. Please, if you would still
like to respond, it is not too late!
The Cathedral s Daily Prayer Diary.
I a— kee‘ that th’se ’f us wh’ are —e—bers ’f the Cathedra– s regu–ar w’rshippi‘g
community put prayer at the centre of our common life. We can do this by attending
services on Sundays on mid-week days it would be good to see more people at midweek Choral Evensong. But we can also join together in prayer each day by using the
new Cathedral Prayer Diary in our own private prayer time at home. Please, see the
notice below and also please do take a copy of the Prayer Diary from the table near
the PCC Notice Board in the South Transept.
Electoral Roll and PCC membership (also see the notes below)
It would help enormously if all members of our regular congregations added their
names to the parish electoral roll. Being a Cathedral, we respect and welcome those
who wish to join in our worship in a more anonymous way; I am very happy with that.
By joining the electoral roll, however, you help us to see that you wish to be engaged
more fully with an active church community. Please, do consider whether God might
be calling you to join the PCC and even to be our PCC Treasurer see the note below.
General Election Hustings and Question Time
There is a note below about this event that I will be chairing. I would like to
encourage all our worshippers to attend and to consider submitting a question in
advance. Please send to the Cathedral Office c/o Judith Bustard E:

With my very best wishes

Cathedral Festival Weekend May 2016 Over the first bank holiday in May 2016 the

the life of the cathedral using photographs and video. We will be starting this over the
Easter period. If for any reason you would not wish to be in any shots please do let us
know by contacting the cathedral office on 01765 603462 or via

Staff Announcement Organ Scholar
The Dean and Chapter are pleased to announce the appointment of an Organ Scholar
who will be joining us in September for 11 months. His name is Tom Coxhead and he
is currently at Durham University finishing his music degree. As a child he was a
chorister at Chester Cathedral and this has given him a strong background in
cathedral music and worship and inspired him to go into cathedral music as a career.
Whilst at university he has been the organist at St James The Great, Darlington,
Principle Organist for University College, Director of Music for Hatfield College and
the Director of the Octavo Consort. We are very grateful to the Music Custodians of
RCDC who have funded this post.

organisations in Ripon, the Episcopal Area and the Diocese we have produced a
prayer diary with a monthly cycle of people, places and organisations to pray for.
Please pick up a copy form under the PCC Notice Board (near the coffee area) and use
it in your personal prayers. The same cycle will also be being used in our Daily Offices
in the Cathedral.

the Cathedral from 10am-4pm (every day except Sunday). They complement the
work of the Welcomers and Guides who are currently doing such a wonderful job with
’ur visit’rs. The Chap–ai‘ s task is differe‘t. They are avai–ab–e f’r a‘y’‘e wh’ ‘eeds a

God for all that we receive from him. It does strengthen the mission, however, if the
Cathedral can reclaim any tax that has been paid on our offerings. If you are a UK
taxpayer, please consider Gift-Aiding your donation. For every £1 you give, we will
receive £1.25. Gift Aid envelopes are available in the pews or from the Sidespeople.
