A Note from the Dean
Welcome to the Cathedral. The Chapter and I wish you a very happy Easter. Today we
meet to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, the foundation of
our Christian faith. With Christians around the world we rejoice in the salvation won
for us by Christ, for the way in which God gives us hope and promises us eternal life in
this life as well as through eternity.
Many thanks to all who have shared in the worship of the Cathedral through Holy
Week, helping us to walk with Jesus through the days of his suffering and passion. I am
particu–ar–y gratefu– t’ th’se wh’ have ’rga‘ized a‘d ru‘ the chi–dre‘ s H’–y Week
event, and for the way in which the children took us through this world-changing
story on the morning of Good Friday.
I would also like to thank Bishop James and Archdeacon Paul Slater for being with us
throughout Holy Week, helping to strengthen the diocesan and episcopal area
dimension of what we have been doing.
Bishop of Ripon
As I mentioned at the end of our worship last Sunday morning, we rejoice in the fact
that we now have a Bishop of Ripon, for the first time since 1999. Bishop James
rece‘t–y beca—e the Area Bish’p ’f Rip’‘ by the Quee‘ s ’rder i‘ C’u‘ci–. We pray
f’r hi— a‘d f’r G’d s b–essi‘g up’‘ his –eadership ’f the Church s —issi’‘ i‘ this
episcopal area.
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!
A further Grant received
I am delighted to be able to announce that we have been successful in gaining a
second grant from the World War I Centenary Cathedral Repairs Fund. This grant will
allow us to carry out urgent repairs to several of the windows around the Cathedral.
This is all in the context of the Cathedral developing its strategy to further the vision
of growing God's Kingdom in Ripon, the diocese and beyond.
With my very best wishes
Dean John

Notices
Cathedral Festival Weekend May 2016 Over the first bank holiday in May 2016 the
Cathedral is holding a festival to showcase the work that goes on across all the many
parts of Cathedral life. As part of that we will be creating a display exhibiting a year in
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
[email protected] and we will ensure that your image is removed
during editing.
Electoral Roll Revision 2015 We are approaching the annual revision of the
Electoral Roll. If you are already on the Roll, you don't have to do anything. The Dean
is keen that all regular attenders are on the Roll. If you wish to be put on the Roll, a
simple form is available in the Cathedral. If there are any problems, contact Peter
Hicks. (01765 692648). The deadline for forms is 12th April 2015.
The Annual Meeting for the Cathedral Parish will be on Monday 27th April at 7.30

vacancies for 5 (five) members of the PCC, which aims to further our mission and
ministry in Ripon itself. If you are interested in finding out more, please talk to the
Dean or Canon Elizabeth. Nomination forms are by the PCC notice board. The PCC
also needs a new Treasurer since Liz Thomas who has served most ably in the role for
many years is standing down. For more on that role please talk to Liz or Canon
Elizabeth.

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.
Cathedral Prayer Diary As part of our on-going care for the people and
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.
Ca‘’‘ We‘dy i‘tr’duces Daily Chaplai‘cy
We are delighted to say that from April 1st to October 31st there will be Chaplains in
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
our visitors. The Chap–ai‘ s task is differe‘t. They are available for anyone who needs a
listening ear or indeed someone to pray with. This band of enthusiastic volunteers are
Priests a‘d Readers fr’— ar’u‘d the Di’cese wh’ h’–d the Bish’p s Lice‘ce ’r

givi‘g preci’us ti—e t’ —i‘ister i‘ ’ur —uch –’ved Cathedra– that is Here f’r us a–– .
Giving by Gift Aid
Our financial supp’rt ’f the Cathedra– s —issi’‘ is an expression of our gratitude to
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.

this Cathedral Church simply could not happen.
