The first time I met Rogers, I didn't know who he was. I asked him what he did for a living and he said he was a caretaker.
I have always loved that.

20 years ago this week, Dean Rogers Govender was installed as the Dean of Manchester. We were delighted to be joined by many dignitaries from the city for the morning service.
The order of service included a hymn that the Dean requested for his installation - Beauty for Brokenness

So many carol services happening in the cathedral at the moment! Last night our wonderful Voluntary Choir led family carols - getting everyone who came into the festive mood. Huge thanks to the singers, our organ scholar, Darrell, and our sub organist, Ben, for a beautiful evening

Out of terrible tragedy, new beauty can sometimes emerge.
West Windows, including St George Window (1972–95) - Manchester Cathedral
In December 1940 the Cathedral endured a German bombing attack that shattered all of its windowglass.

Last night, not only did the cathedral host a wonderful performance of Handel's Messiah (more on that later), but we also had a fantastically stocked Fairtrade stall for concert goers. Huge thanks to Hilary and Mandy for setting up and staffing the stall for the evening

This afternoon a hardy group of singers from the congregation sang some favourite Christmas carols outside. Thanks to all those passers by who joined in and cheered us on!

I spent a number of years as a HIV nurse. By then, the meds meant people could live full lives, but the stigma still existed. And access to preventative measures & meds varies

The best bit was, as I said in my talk, the recognition that a #NetZero world can improve our standards of living & wellbeing
Not just by reducing bills, but also by sharing resources and connecting with our communities in ways that build friendship & neighbourliness
