Among the ways it has sought to do this in recently are to:
The Education and Spirituality Action and Advisory Group aims to help seekers and pilgrims by awakening faith, nurturing the human spirit and encouraging Christian discipleship.It seeks to put on a balanced and well-publicised programme of adult learning, in collaboration with the Diocese, and ecumenical, civic and educational partners in the region.The group supports the Cathedral’s purpose and mission through its history, architecture, art and symbolism by mounting a programme of arts and related events.Its third objective is to make the Cathedral accessible to all children and young people, as a building and as a living community, to help them grow in faith and understanding, supporting the work of the Director of Education.Recent developments centre on the Wessex Learning Centre which is fast becoming a valuable “learning hub”, widening the scope of events and attracting a body of accomplished speakers as a regular resource for activities.The group is always keen to involve the Cathedral community in its work. The group comprises people with specific knowledge, specific skills and links with other bodies.
The Outreach Action and Advisory Group seeks to find fitting ways for the Cathedral community to implement ministry and mission, and communicate more widely the cathedral’s life and work.The group aims to build awareness of global and local issues, to monitor outward giving by reporting in the Cathedral Newsletter, and keeping “community information” updated on a Cathedral noticeboard for this purpose.The group aims to:
The Partners in Mission Action and Advisory Group sees partnership in mission lying at the heart of relationships within both the Anglican Communion and the wider church.Contact with six partner Cathedrals, spread throughout Europe, Asia and Africa, help to maintain that sense of belonging to a global community of faith.Most of Winchester’s connections have historic roots while some are much more recent. All of them are featured on Tracey Sheppard’s engraved Millennium Glass screens at the entrance to the Cathedral’s Epiphany Chapel.The group’s aims are to strengthen and further develop the Cathedral’s links with its partner communities by
Monthly newsletters are sent by email and regular displays, centred on each partner, can be seen in the Cathedral. The group has had exchange visits with four of the partner Cathedrals’ partner communities, learning about different Christian traditions as well as sharing faith, fellowship and establishing deep relationships.More information about each partner can be found on the Cathedral website under Worship and Music and then by selecting Christian Links.
The Music and Liturgy Action and Advisory Group has been formed comparatively recently and more news of its work will be posted shortly.
