WELCOME
At the beginning of September we welcome the Cathedral Choir and musicians back from their
summer break. There is a very real sense that as a community we are refreshed by this ‘long
vacation.’ We have farewelled some members of the foundation and we shall welcome others;
we have heard new music from around the world over the summer – provided by some
excellent visiting choirs; and we have had our hearts and minds opened to new and unfamiliar
experiences. So we return to a familiar pattern, but we are never the same and the way we
reflect the world to God in our worship and reflect God back to the world in our life together
will constantly change. It is the very sign of our life.
We hope very much that you will join us when you can.
The Reverend Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle Precentor
Communicant members of other churches in good standing are welcome to receive the Sacrament in
this church if they so desire.
