Fantastic weekend @Nrw_Cathedral with a cracking sermon from Sam, the Chorister Bishop and an electric performance of Messiah last night.

[Aidan Platten @PrecentorNch]

Lovely to end the day with a well supported candlelit compline sung by the new @Nrw_Cathedral senior boys choir.

Every hour today and at every service we have prayed for the people of Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon and prayed this prayer:
"Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth,
lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Let peace fill our hearts,
our world, our universe."

[Aidan Platten @PrecentorNch]

Privilege to Preach @RNAAuk Harvest Festival and to lead Compline for the inaugural service of the new @Nrw_Cathedral Senior Boys Choir. Very moving and a huge and grateful congregation.

Distressed to see that the Cathedral of our twin city is on fire. Praying that all are safe and that the fire can be controlled quickly. https://t.co/xBLRABg7VP

Yesterday we commemorated those of the Royal Norfolks who fell in the massacre at Le Paradis at the memorial at Norwich Cathedral. This is the cemetery at Le Paradis where they are at rest.

Friday @RiponCuddesdon marking Mark Chapman’s retirement. Moving to be back with happy memories of 20+ years ago. @paulagooder & Rowan Williams & Mark spoke of the danger of institutional anxiety & the need to take risks. Very restorative. Thank you.

A real honour and privilege to preach @wabbey this morning for the feast of Pentecost.

[Aidan Platten @PrecentorNch]

It’s been a privilege for us to host the Cathedral Organists Conference @Nrw_Cathedral this week. Inspiring people doing incredible work with lots of children & young people across cathedrals parishes. Really interesting sessions & some light relief at @Thursford
