A MESSAGE FROM THE ACTING BISHOP AND THE DEAN
Thank you for showing an interest in the post of Residentiary Canon and Precentor of Worcester Cathedral.
Worcester Cathedral is one of the great buildings of England with a rich history. For centuries it has been the mother church and the seat of the Bishop of this ancient diocese. It was one of the great Benedictine monasteries with an international reputation for music, liturgy, and learning. Today it is a vibrant centre of worship and hospitality which seeks to serve the people of the Diocese of Worcester and all who come through its doors in the spirit of the rule of St Benedict.
In the worship offered here, our aim, like that of the person in the parable, is to bring out of our treasures what is new and what is old. Our prayer is that many will be thereby touched by the fire of God’s love.
We hope that you will prayerfully consider whether this is a ministry to which God may be calling you. May He bless you as you do so.
