THE ACTING DEAN WRITES. . . So now we know: Catherine Ogle, currently Dean of Birmingham, is to be our new Dean! Chapter expressed its delight along with the Bishop of Winchester, and this was no mere flourish of courtesy. Many who heard Dean Catherine speak briefly at the announcement were impressed by her bearing and reassured by her speaking that the Cathedral will be in safe hands. The unveiling happened around the time I was reading a clever but ultimately hollow book about the demise of the Church of England. The only future the authors offered was one of a radical accommodation to culture, so that the Church would remain on hand to give the population at large exactly what it thought reasonable to expect by way of support and affirmation. While this might give the Church a lingering social utility, it is a position so far from the spirit of the New Testament and historic Anglican tradition as to be a betrayal of its identity. We have much to give thanks for in Catherine’s appointment, not least her experience of six years as Dean in a multi-faith setting. This will be a great blessing to us as we reflect with her on how our Christian presence responds to the contemporary climate. Like the BBC, the C of E can no longer be an Auntie, assured of a protected place in the public eye; it has find its place in a competing market, and it can only do that by being more sure of what its value is for others.

THE ACTING DEAN CONTINUES. . .

We are already some way down this road of awareness and action. The massive investment we are making in the fabric of the cathedral has largely been made possible by an HLF grant. We received this £11M by persuading the HLF Trustees that Winchester Cathedral had something unique to offer. The stories we are now setting out about the Winchester Bible and the Birth of the Nation are those our visitors wish to hear. We know, because we have carefully tested the market. The Harvest Festival over the first weekend of October is another example. The event is the result of collaboration between many different organisations, each with a particular voice and perspective. At Sunday’s Evensong at 3.30pm the sermon gives way to an interview by Alastair Stewart of four members of the farming and rural community, so that a spectrum of views can be represented, the Church’s contribution being one among many. The Church seeks simply to be a distinct, prophetic voice among others. The Lovell Interfaith Lecture is another opportunity to speak into complexity. This year (10 October, 6.30pm, in the nave) the dialogue is between Islam and Christianity and the subject is art. Neither of the two speakers claims to be a theologian, but both have a clear view of what they are doing as practitioners of faith, and interestingly both artists rely on symbolic representation. In this lecture, we can celebrate diversity and find truth in the encounter between different points of view. Precisely because we are among others it is important to know where we stand. We are among those who ‘hunger and thirst for righteousness’, which is why the annual Law Sunday Service (9 October, 11am) is so valuable. We come together to seek a fresh way to value justice and to act justly. Our preacher

this year is the Rt Revd Jonathan Meyrick, Bishop of Lynn and a former Dean of Exeter. Another stand the Church of England is taking is over the importance of addressing climate change, perhaps the most pressing moral issue of the 21st Century. On 6 October we welcome Dr Ruth Valerio from the Eco Church movement to the Wessex Learning Centre, to give a talk at which our own Annabelle Boyes will also explain how we have taken green principles into account in the building of the Centre itself. As teaching the faith has never been more important, may I commend the confirmation course that our Curate Katie Lawrence is starting, which will run on Monday nights. Anyone may attend whether they are confirmed or not and whether they intend to be confirmed or not. The confirmation service is in the Cathedral on 19 November. Please contact Katie for further details, [email protected]. When Dean Catherine begins her ministry in Winchester I believe that she will find herself pushing at an open door when it comes to our standing confidently and humbly among others. Catherine’s installation is now fixed for 3pm on Saturday 11 February (information about tickets will follow), though she and Robin are moving in January to their temporary residence at 7A,The Close. There they will live while the Dean’s accommodation is renewed over the next year.

AUTUMN HAPPENINGS As the weather begins to feel more Autumnal after the recent and glorious late Summer we have a wonderful program of exciting things happening this October in the Cathedral.

The month kicks off with an exciting Come and Sing performance of Messiah, the concert of which is at 6.30pm on Saturday 1 October. Tickets are twenty pounds and the proceeds go to the Mayor of Winchester’s charities. Applications from Sopranos and Altos are now closed but there are still places for Tenors and Basses to sing and the closing date for this is the 29 September Details are from [email protected] if you wish to apply.

Meanwhile if you are younger (between the ages of 7 and 14) and enjoy singing, it is still not too late to come and join our Junior Choir, which has rehearsals on Tuesday evenings, starting at 4.45pm. We will be working towards a performance of Joseph on 25 February 2017. Application forms can be found on our website and there are leaflets around the Cathedral. Do please spread the word to family, friends and schools if you have a connection with one.

We are also looking forward to the Hampshire Harvest weekend. As well as having lots of wonderful displays and stalls around The Close, there will be worship for both young and old. Children’s Church will be baking bread in the morning of 2 October, and the Hampshire Harvest service will be in the afternoon at 3.30pm.

On Saturday 8 October the service which was formerly known as the Readers’ Licensing service will take place. Nowadays many different types of lay ministry are possible and this service has become a Celebration of Lay Ministry and a Licensing and Commissioning Service for Licensed Lay Ministers, Licensed Lay Workers and those commissioned by the Bishop to undertake mission and ministry in particular areas. Do come and support those people who are embarking on a new chapter in their lives in God’s service. Law Sunday Matins will be at 11am on the 9th October and the Congregational Eucharist with Hymns that morning will be at the earlier time of 9.30am. It is always exciting to see the colourful processions and to meet, pray for and support the representatives of the legal profession who attend this service.

16 October is Healthcare Sunday as this is the service closest to St Luke’s day. This year will be a celebration of Women’s Health. (We will be having a celebration of Men’s Health next year). BBC’s Sally Taylor has kindly volunteered to chair a panel to be interviewed as part of the teaching element of this service which gives us a wonderful chance to pray for and support those who work in healthcare and give themselves so selflessly to help others on their journey to health and wholeness. And so, as you travel through this month of October, this season of thanksgiving for the gifts of creation, I do hope you have a chance to sample and enjoy the fruits of the harvest in many different ways.

ANDREW LUMSDEN ON MUSIC IN OCTOBER Our October list of music includes some lesser known pieces, including Franz Schubert’s Mass in B flat (2nd am), Orlando di Lasso’s setting of the Magnificat subtitled Susanne un jour (3rd), Herbert Howells’ setting of Salve Regina (9th pm), and Joseph Twist’s anthem How shall we sing the Lord’s song (14th), which combines an Aboriginal poem with Psalm 137 – the boys and men sang this at our Evensong during the recent Southern Cathedrals Festival in Chichester and it caused quite a stir! There are also some perennial favourites - Ralph Vaughan Williams’ setting of Let all the world (9th am), Josef Haydn’s Insanae et vanae curae (4th) and, for St Luke’s Day, the Prologue to The Apostles by Edward Elgar – The Spirit of the Lord (18th).

October is a busy month in the liturgical life of this cathedral. The first Sunday will see us celebrating Harvest, the second Sunday the Law, and the third Sunday Healthcare. As was intended at its inception, having a St. Luke’s-tide service focusing on health, has become an annual feature in the life of our Cathedral. It gives us a chance to think about what it means to be a patient and a user of our various health services, and what might be key issues for those who work within the health service, both in a clinical and non-clinical capacity. At Evensong in previous years on the Sunday closest to St. Luke’s Day we have variously focussed on health, healing and St. Luke, palliative care and dementia. Whilst next year we shall focus on men’s health, the theme for this year’s service will be Celebrating women’s health. Whilst this service takes the form of Choral Evensong, it does so in an expanded form, thus enabling there to be opportunities for personal reflections and for personal stories to be told. This year, in place of the sermon, we are incredibly grateful to BBC’s South Today presenter Sally Taylor, who will chair a panel of four guests taken from a variety of backgrounds. This service will not just focus on illness but celebrate women’s health in a truly holistic sense. To this end, the beautiful singing of our Cathedral Choir will of course play its part. I am very much hoping that the theme of this year’s service will appeal to members of our regular cathedral congregation. Because we are trying something slightly different this year, I hope that this might also be something that you feel that you can invite those of your friends for whom attending a church service might prove to be an exciting and novel experience. As you may well know, the

Cathedral has a hearing loop and wheelchair access to the Nave which is where the service will take place. It is hoped that the very fact of holding such a service annually in the Cathedral will help highlight issues around health, give thanks for the skills and talents of all those who work within healthcare and for the Christ-like compassion shown to all those who find themselves as patients. But perhaps most importantly it will celebrate, support and affirm what it means to live a fulfilling life. If you are able to, please do join us for this special service of Evensong which takes place on Sunday16 October from 3.30 until 4.45 followed by refreshments in the North Transept.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO READ THE BIBLE. . ? Well, we originally thought the answer was 75 hours. In fact 31,102 and verses 74 hours later, the valiant team of readers in last month’s Bible Marathon finished the last chapter of Revelation at midday on Saturday 10 September. The whole enterprise, which was masterminded by Canon Roly, was started at 10am on Wednesday 7th by a team of celebrities including Brigadier Alastair Bruce, Sally Taylor, The Mayor of Winchester, Cllr Jane Rutter and Bruce Parker. They were joined by a range of people from the community, a team from the Friends and a team from Pilgrims. A member of The Bible Society, Hazel Southam, read and the society not only broadcast some of the marathon on the internet, but generously donated a Bible to every reader who took part. They read around-the-clock, by day in the Guardian Angels’ Chapel and overnight in the Wessex Learning Centre. “The marathon will be a challenge for all those who are taking part, as we gradually progress from the opening book of Genesis to the final book of Revelation”, said Canon Roly at the beginning of the marathon. “Everyone will be involved in something of a biblical adventure.”

The readers were invited either to donate or be sponsored a mimimum of £30 towards the appeal, which includes the replacement of our sound system and the conservation and re-display of the 12th Century Winchester Bible – what could be more appropriate? There is still time to contribute directly to the cause by visiting www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk and clicking Donate. Congratulations to all involved.

CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES 2016 The Christmas Market Our Christmas Market is inspired by traditional German Christmas markets and attracts more than 350,000 visitors each year. The pretty wooden chalets are situated in the Cathedral’s historic Close surrounding an open-air real ice rink. All our exhibitors have been hand-picked for their interesting, high quality and unique products many of which can’t be bought on the high street. The 2016 Christmas Market will be running from Friday 18 Nov to Tuesday 20 Dececember. Open every day, 10am-6pm from Sunday to Wednesday, 10am-7.30pm from Thursday to Saturday. Many of our exhibitors will be attending for the full duration but some will only be here for the first half with new exhibitors filling the chalets for the second half.

The Ice Rink In its 10th anniversary year, Winchester Cathedral Ice Rink gets a brand new makeover—and a clear-span roof! If an exhilarating (and rain-free) skate on a cold winter’s day or beneath a star-filled night sky sparks your imagination, this is definitely the ice rink for you.
