As a Cathedral at the heart of our community and diocese, we are seeking to tackle the important issues;
- to allow space for healthy debate
- to be good stewards of this earth
- to be a voice for the vulnerable and marginalised
- to be a place of action that makes real and important changes towards a better future.
ECO Cathedral
As a Cathedral community, we are committed to caring for God’s Creation; we are a Partner in Action with A Rocha UK.
The Anglican Communion’s fifth Mark of Mission is
“to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth.”
We have adopted an ethical and sustainable framework to guide our policies and practices. In-line with the Eco Church framework, we divide our activity under the following areas: Worship & Teaching, Buildings, Land, Community & Global Engagement, and Lifestyle.
Healthy Healing Hub
“The ministry of healing and wholeness is at the centre of our life as a Cathedral. We are committed to the Cathedral itself being a place of healing, offering visitors opportunities to pray and to experience hope and peace during difficult times."
In partnership with The Guild of Health and St. Raphael, we have become a Healthy Healing Hub, offering support for health and wellbeing to the local community and empowering other organisations within the Diocese to do the same.
Central to our focus for 2022 and beyond, this partnership will put the needs of the community and diocese in prime position, seeking to ‘recover together’ following the traumatic circumstances of the last few years.
"Silence and beauty combine to nurture the soul."
As a Gold-Tier Healthy Healing Hub we seek to serve as a centre of excellence and training.
FairTrade Church
We are a FairTrade Church, committed to using fairly traded products and promoting fair trade. Find out more about Fair Trade: www.fairtrade.org.uk
