A Day of Celebrations
Today is a wonderful day of celebrations. This morning the Cathedral Community
celebrates the great feast of Pentecost. We then join with the City community for the
installation of the Mayor. This afternoon we join with Bishop Nick, Bishop James and
the people of the parishes in a Songs of Praise to thank God for the life of his Church
in this Ripon Episcopal Area.
Pentecost
T’day is ’‘e ’f the great feasts ’f the Church s year. St. Luke te––s us that the rise‘
Christ ascended to heaven forty days after his resurrection and then, ten days later, at
Pentecost, he sent the Holy Spirit on his followers. Today is the Feast of Pentecost
when we thank God for the gift of his Holy Spirit. According to St. John, on the
evening before he was crucified, Jesus promised his disciples that they would not be
left as orphans when he had departed from them; he would send them the comforter,
the Spirit of truth to lead them into all truth. Today we thank God that he kept his
promise and that we are amongst the beneficiaries. We go out from this place
dedicating ourselves to live in a way that shows this to be true.
The Installation of the Mayor
It is a privilege for us to be hosting the civic service today in which the new Mayor of
Ripon, Councillor Pau–i‘e McHardy, is i‘sta––ed. The fact that the city s May’r has a
stall in this ancient house of prayer reminds the Church that Christ came to turn the
w’r–d i‘t’ G’d s ki‘gd’—: we sh’u–d be i‘terested i‘, and serving, the wider
community. It also reminds the Mayor and all those who hold public office that there
is a greater authority to whom we are all subject to and to whom we shall all answer.
The L’rd s Prayer c’‘sta‘t–y re—i‘ds us that it is G’d s reig‘ ’‘ earth that we seek.
Tea and Songs of Praise
We have invited the churches of this Episcopal Area to join us for tea from 4pm and
for the Songs of Praise Service at 5.30pm. Many thanks to those of you who are
helping in any way with this. I would like to encourage everyone to come and help us
offer warm hospitality; even if this simply means drinking tea, eating cake and being
the smiling face of the Cathedral. During the Songs of Parise we shall celebrate the
work of the Spirit in the parishes. The service gives Bishop Nick an opportunity to
commission Bishop James for his new role as Area Bishop of Ripon. Please, do join us.
Nepal Prayer Station
This is in the Chapel of St. Wilfrid, in the North Transept. Please, do offer a prayer for
those who are suffering and the people who are seeking to help them.
The Cathedral Chapter
At its meeting on Thursday, the Cathedral Chapter adopted a new Pastoral Care
Policy, prepared by Canon Wendy in consultation with me, Canon Elizabeth, Canon
Paul and others. It did so with great enthusiasm. Canon Wendy, in presenting the
policy, explained that there is much pastoral care that goes on in unseen ways, but
that we need a more adequate provision to meet the needs of the Cathedral
community today. This was a clear message from our recent Consultation.
Needless to say, there is much work that now needs to be done to turn this into
reality. When Canon Ruth arrives as Canon Evangelist, a major part of her role will be
to oversee our ministry of pastoral care. My hope is that we will have our new
structures and systems in place by September.
The Chapter also received a brief report on the Cathedral Strategy Process. There are
four groups working hard on this, covering the four areas of our mission identified in
the report Gr’wi‘g G’d s Ki‘gd’— . There will also be a fifth group, under the
chairmanship of Canon Philip Arundel, the Canon Treasurer, to explore how we
provide the necessary resources for our mission. I am delighted by the energy and
enthusiasm that we are seeing in the groups. The Chapter has planned to have an
extra day-long meeting in September to consider the ongoing work of the groups.
The plan is still to launch our comprehensive vision and strategy during the Cathedral
Festival Weekend the first weekend of May 2016. Please, do put that weekend in
your diary and also pray for all who are involved in the Cathedral Strategy
development and in planning the Cathedral Festival Weekend.
Installation of the Revd Ruth Hind as Canon Evangelist
Please, know that you are warmly invited by me and the other members of the
Cathedral Chapter to attend the Collation and Installation of the Revd Ruth Hind on
Sunday, 28 June at 3.30pm followed by a reception. Please, do join us in extending to
Ruth a warm and enthusiastic welcome.
Christians Against Poverty
You may be interested to know that the Archbishop of Canterbury has become the
first patron of Christians Against Poverty. The charity runs debt services, helping
people to escape from debt. Around 60 of its 280 centres are based in Church of
England churches.
With my very best wishes
