The Bishop has invited Revd Julie Read to become a Prebendary in the Cathedral. This means that she will be assigned a stall in the choir of the cathedral, known as de Pionia Parva. The stalls are named after parcels of land (often farms) which were known as “prebends” and which gave each stallholder an income: although the stipend has long since gone, the title remains. The title prebend is given to those serving in the cathedrals that were NOT attached to a monastery, and in those that were monastic foundations the title Canon is given. Julie will be entitled to wear a blue cassock, to preach at the Cathedral once a year at Evensong, and to be part of the College that chooses the next Bishop when that time comes. There will be a service for her installation on Sunday 24th September at 3.30pm in the Cathedral and it’s hoped that you will come and join with her on that day and celebrate. The invitation is open to all and it sounds like a good excuse for a party.
This weekend we welcome our new Curate, Rosie Roberts. To celebrate we are having a bring a plate and share Lunch in Kingsland Church at 12.30 after Morning Service.
Welcome Rosie!!!
