Mothering Sunday/Fourth Sunday of Lent
We live in strange and unsettling times. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have announced that all public worship is suspended until further notice, but prayers should continue to be said on behalf of everyone. We are in a situation of change, in which we as a Cathedral are working out new ways to continue our worshipping life, our pastoral care and our community involvement.

And they will stay at least into the beginning of Eastertide, because the Cycle ends with the women discovering the Empty Tomb and finally the risen Jesus appearing by the sea to his fishermen disciples.

‘Thanks for posing,’ is not a remark I hear every day, but Neil Pugmire (Diocesan Communications Adviser) did say this to me last Thursday! He had been taking some photographs to be posted on-line during Lent to illustrate actions in support of the Bishop’s Lenten Appeal 2020: ‘Care for God’s Creation’. Earlier Neil and I had agreed that he would only photograph actions that were authentic, in the sense that they reflect what I will actually be doing during Lent in response to the ‘An Action a Day’ activities identified on the diocesan website. So yes, amongst other things I will be supporting ‘Meat Free Mondays’, and using my bike rather than the car.
