An honour to be invited to share with our brothers and sisters @stjohnscathedral_norwich for Vespers on the eve of the Funeral of #Pope Francis. We pray with those gathered in Rome this morning.
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."
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. bbc.com/news/articles/…

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.
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
