On Tuesday 25th November 1919
King George V decreed that the
parish church of St Peter Bradford
was to become one of England’s
parish cathedrals, as the new Diocese
of Bradford was formed out of the
ancient see of Ripon. Today we are
still in the newest diocese in the
Church of England, now the Diocese
of Leeds, which includes three
cathedrals at Bradford, Ripon and
Wakefield.
This year we shall be celebrating the
Centenary with a programme
emphasising faith, heritage, music, the
arts and partnership. We begin our
Centenary journey, appropriately, on
the Feast of the Epiphany, Sunday
6th January. Our Diocesan Bishop,
REGULAR SERVICE TIMES
Morning Prayer 8.30am Monday to Saturday
Evensong (term time) 4.00pm Sunday
5.45pm Monday, Tuesday & Thursday
Evening Prayer 5.30pm Wednesday, Friday & Saturday
Holy Communion 8.00am Sunday

7.30am Wednesday
10.15am Wednesday
Bishop Nick, will preach and give an
afternoon seminar and we shall launch
an unusual exhibition which has the
journey motif at the heart of it and
continue through to the centenary of
the King’s announcement in
November. It promises to be a really
exciting time.
It is perhaps worth reflecting on the
last century. It has been a traumatic
time in Europe, Bradford has changed
hugely and faced new challenges as
well. The Christian church is in a very
different place than in 1919. Ponder
the social, economic and lifestyle
changes. It leaves you breathless.
As Christians we are called to make
our witness to God and serve our
community, just as previous
generations have done. Let us pray
that this year will not only be a great
celebration for this deeply loved
cathedral but also a time for spiritual
renewal. I encourage you to make
the most of this special year’s events
and invite others along to join with us.
The Very Revd Jerry Lepine
Dean of Bradford

Bradford Cathedral Centenary Prayer
Eternally present and ever faithful God,
by whose grace a people have gathered here for over a thousand years
to praise your name and learn your ways.
We bless you for this witness
and now we give you thanks for one hundred years
of worship and ministry as a Cathedral.
Grant to us, whose lives are like the flowers of the field,
the spirit of joyful gratitude for the past,
generous welcome and witness in the present and
the longing for your creation to be made whole in this City and Diocese.
May your future come through the power of the Spirit of the Risen Christ.
Amen

EPIPHANY SUNDAY CHORAL EUCHARIST
with THE RT REVD NICK BAINES
Sunday 6 January at 10.15am
We celebrate the beginning of our centenary year
with a glorious Choral Eucharist sung by the Full
Foundation of the Cathedral Choir, with Bishop Nick
preaching. Within the service Una Barry sings Psalm
100: Make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord for operatic
soprano and organ, specially composed for the
occasion by Colin Mawby. The service will be
followed by celebratory refreshments.
EVA MILEUSNIC: COUNTER-FLOW
Opening on Sunday 6 January at 12.00 noon
and running until 6 April
This installation, of 100 pairs of slip cast porcelain
feet, represents migrants' feet. Each piece has been
decorated with ceramic decal transfers of the world’s
textile patterns. The work references current global
demographic shifts and the subsequent spread of
cultural identities all around the world and celebrates
the rich and diverse communities of Bradford. The
feet will be on display in the Artspace during January
and will then perambulate around the Cathedral.
BISHOP NICK ADDRESS AND DISCUSSION
Going back a different way - being Christian in
a populist world
Epiphany Sunday 6 January at 2.30pm followed by
Festal Choral Evensong and the Launch of the
Centenary Year at 4.00pm
The feast of the Epiphany is a great day to launch our
Centenary. The Festival focuses on the visit of the
Magi to discover the new King. It’s a story about
journeying, discovering God, encountering politics and
going back home ‘no longer at ease in the old
dispensation.’ (TS Eliot). So today we begin our
Centenary journey, that will end in November,
with a day built around worship and exploring faith
and culture.

share insights into the everyday lives of ordinary
people. Personal stories are so often private, but we

something about them. We were given ordinary stuff
that tells some extraordinary stories of life, faith and
culture in Bradford.

Holy Week is quite simply a supreme gift. It is the opportunity in
the Christian year to invest time in praying the momentous
events that lead up to Easter. For centuries Christians have
observed these days almost as a time for a communal retreat. It is
a pilgrimage week as we learn the way of Christ through music,
silence, listening, reflection, liturgy and action. Please join us, as if
you were part of the Gospel story, and join others who are
seeking to come to Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Siting
Its task was present
When the site chose itself. Three streams or more
Which flowed together. A place of crossing.
A place to build a bridge,
To cluster homes.
The site was high enough
For a sweeping view of the dale, and yet the sky
Felt like a neighbour.
Then Bradford moved downhill. The streams
Flowed poison, and were culverted underground.
It seemed the church was stranded high and dry
In a new secular age.
Still in a city
Of crossed continents, thrown-together faiths,
Its purpose remains
To hold in prayer;
To work with all that is suppressed and choked
And bring it into light;
To site a crossing;
To sight hope. Diane Pacitti, 2018
During the Cathedral’s centenary year Diane Pacitti
is our poet in residence.
She will produce a collection of poems based on
Bradford and its cathedral.
There has been a church on the Bradford hillside
since Saxon times and ‘Siting’ is about its location
and purpose.
