Lichfield
Cathedral is the 'mother-church' of the Diocese of Lichfield (Anglican).
The Cathedral has a varied and wide role, serving a large geographical
area, but, as any other church, plays its part in the local community.
At Lichfield Cathedral, we aim to follow the example of our patrons, St Mary and St Chad, and to reveal God's power and love through humility, courage, trust and determination.
We try to do do this through:
worship and prayer
| • |
founding our lives on worship and prayer |
| • |
caring for and using our historic building, so that it may be a place of pilgrimage, celebration, peace and wonder |
teaching and nurture
| • |
providing a focus for the work of the Bishop of Lichfield and the Church in the Diocese |
| • |
living out and presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ with our congregation and through our lives in the world |
| • |
developing music and the arts for the enrichment of worship and human life and experience |
| • |
being a centre for the development of the Christian mind through study, teaching and the provision of learning opportunities for all ages, especially for those who find difficulty in relating the Christian faith to their life experience |
| • |
encouraging young people to visit the Cathedral and helping them to be open to its purpose and history |
evangelism and outreach
| • |
welcoming all who visit the Cathedral and making them feel valued and nourished by their visit |
| • |
preaching the good news of Jesus Christ |
| • |
praying for and developing enduring relationships with the city, district, counties and other organisations within the diocese |
| • |
working wherever possible with other churches and communities in this country and overseas |
| • |
serving our congregation and all those who turn to us for help, showing the God's love for all people |
| • |
engaging with the issues of our age and putting forward a Christian point of view |
| • |
helping people find renewal and wholeness through exploration of their spiritual resources and needs, and review of their personal values |
justice and care
