Almighty God, who shewest to them that be in error the light of thy truth, to the intent that they may return into the way of righteousness; Grant unto all them that are admitted into the fellowship of Christ’s Religion, that they may eschew those things that are contrary to their profession, and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same; through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Offertory Hymn SP 283 (T NEH 271)
I will sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me,
how he left the realms of glory
for the cross on Calvary.
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me –
sing it with his saints in glory,
gathered by the crystal sea. / 2.
I was lost but Jesus found me,
found the sheep that went astray,
raised me up and gently led me
back into the narrow way.
Days of darkness still may meet me,
sorrow’s path I oft may tread;
but his presence still is with me,
by his guiding hand I’m led.
3.
He will keep me till the river
rolls its waters at my feet:
then he’ll bear me safely over,
made by grace for glory meet.
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me –
sing it with his saints in glory,
gathered by the crystal sea.
Francis Harold Rowley 1854-1952

Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life: raise us, who trust in him,

where he reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Merciful Father, you gave your Son Jesus Christ to be the good shepherd, and in his love for us to lay down his life and rise again: keep us always under his protection, and give us grace to follow in his steps; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Receiving Holy Communion. If you normally receive communion in your own church you are welcome to receive communion here. If you don’t want to take communion but would like a blessing, please bring your service booklet with you to let the minister know.
The practice in York Minster is for you to receive the wafer into your hand; please don’t try to dip your wafer into the wine. If you don’t wish to drink from the common cup, please take the wafer only.
Gluten-free communion wafers are available at the communion station nearest the pulpit at the front left of the Nave. If you require a gluten-free communion wafer, please inform a Steward and make your way to the front of the Nave. When the time comes to receive communion, please ask the priest for a gluten-free wafer.

NEW APPOINTMENTS
The Dean writes … I am delighted to announce the appointment of the new Canon Chancellor and Canon Pastor at York Minster. The Archbishop of York has appointed The Reverend Dr Christopher Collingwood as Canon Chancellor and The Reverend Michael Smith as Canon Pastor. The installation of the new Canons is likely to be in the summer. I am also delighted to announce that the Chapter of York has appointed Kathryn Blacker as Chapter Steward. Kathryn will take up her position on Monday 20th May. I attach biographies for your information.
The Revd Michael Smith
Michael Smith read Theology at Southampton University and trained to be a priest at St Stephen’s House Theological College in Oxford. Since his ordination in 1983 he has served in four parishes within the Diocese of Oxford and has also been chaplain of Helen House, a hospice for children in Oxford and of Thames Hospicecare, an adult hospice in Windsor. He has been the Vicar of the Benefice of the Cookhams since 2001 and the Area Dean of Windsor and Maidenhead since 2012. Michael was born in Hull and lived in various places in Yorkshire as a child before moving south. He is looking forward to returning to live in ‘God’s own county’. Michael is particularly looking forward to being part of the community which prays every day in the Minster, and to sharing in ministry with colleagues on Chapter, the Minster congregation and school, all the volunteers and everyone who works at the Minster. Above all Michael has been formed as a parish priest and he is looking forward to exercising his priestly and pastoral ministry in this new role. Michael has a particular interest in using creative writing to aid biblical study and reflection. He is married to Ann and they have three grown up sons. For relaxation he enjoys going for a run usually accompanied, rather reluctantly, by Harvey, an ageing Labrador.
The Revd Dr Christopher Collingwood
Chris was ordained deacon in Hereford in June 1983 and priest in June 1984. He became Rector of Minchinhampton with Box and Amberley in the Diocese of Gloucester in 2009 and was appointed Area Dean of Stroud in 2011. He has served the Diocese of Gloucester more widely in a number of capacities: as Chair of the Bishop of Gloucester’s Worship, Prayer and Spirituality Group, for example, as a member of the Diocesan Advisory Committee, and as the Bishop’s nominee on the Cathedral Council.
Prior to his appointment in Gloucestershire he was for ten years the Chaplain and Senior Tutor of Chigwell School in Essex, a thriving independent School founded by Samuel Harsnett, Archbishop of York, in 1629, just on the edge of the border with London, where all of the world's major faith traditions are now represented. Chris has had a varied and stimulating ministry, first as Assistant Curate at St Paul's, Tupsley, in Hereford, from where he went as Precentor to the Cathedral and Abbey Church of Saint Alban. Seven years were then spent as Vicar of St Paul's, Bedford, after which he went to Guildford Cathedral and then to Chigwell.
Before being ordained he read music and theology at the Universities of Birmingham and Oxford respectively, and subsequently studied for an MA in religious education at King’s college London, where he was also awarded a PhD. He very much enjoys preaching, teaching, lecturing and writing, and his most recent publication (February 2013) is a chapter in a book entitled Soul Pain, in which clergy write about the experience of illness. Chris’s contribution arises out of his experience of growing up in a family where there was an hereditary illness, Huntingdon’s Disease, which Chris is relieved to know he cannot actually inherit himself. As well as maintaining his own theological interests and research, especially in Spirituality, Inter-Faith Issues, and Education, Chris is also a musician, particularly a pianist and conductor, and recently gave a recital with a former professional violinist from the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
He is married to Sue, a complementary therapist, specialising in Therapeutic Massage and Aromatherapy. They have four grown-up children: Ben, Andrew, Dominic and Teresa.
Speaking of his appointment Chris says, ‘Sue and I are really thrilled to be coming to York to live in a part of the country which we barely know yet. We are looking forward so much to getting to know everyone at the Minster and in the Diocese and I am excited about working with such an able and gifted team of clergy and lay colleagues in what must be one of the most glorious buildings in the world. Please pray for us as we prepare to move, as we shall indeed pray for all of you.’
Kathryn Blacker, 36, studied at Thetford Grammar School in Norfolk and St Peter’s College, Oxford University, where she read Modern History. She joined BBC Sport in 1998 and was appointed into the new role of Innovation Development Producer in 2001, where she was responsible for the delivery of new technologies into coverage; notable successes include the introduction of Skycam and the early development of PIERO, an award-winning 3D technology. She also co-directed the red-button coverage of Wimbledon, Open Golf, Winter Olympics, FA Cup, Six Nations and was the co-producer of the first tri-cast (tv, radio, online) programme on the BBC, 606 World Cup 2002 nominated for a BAFTA Interactive. She returned to the BBC to co-produce 2004 Athens Olympics red button coverage.
Kathryn joined the National Media Museum in 2003 as Head of Media Development and was promoted to Deputy Director/Head of Public Programme in 2005. She oversaw the development and delivery of the Museum’s programme; a diverse range of activity including permanent galleries, exhibitions, publications, learning activities, film screenings, media and film festivals. Kathryn championed both the use of audience feedback to inform programme development and the creation of interactive, layered interpretation for audiences. Kathryn also led the delivery of the two newest galleries at the Museum. The £3.6 million project to redevelop the Museum’s television galleries, Experience TV, opened in 2006 and quickly became the Museum’s most popular gallery. Life Online, a £2.4 million gallery narrating the social and cultural impact of the Internet, opened in 2012 and brought the Museum’s story into the 21st Century. Kathryn was instrumental in securing funding and setting up Cine Yorkshire, a trailblazing project delivering digital cinema across rural Yorkshire.
Kathryn lives in East Yorkshire with her husband and daughter.

The next Lecture series given by Reverend Dr David Efird is entitled
Why We Do What We Do In Church: The Liturgical Year—Why does our main act of worship happen on a Sunday? Why do we celebrate different seasons? Why do we commemorate certain people on certain days? How did the kaleidoscope of early Christian feasts, fasts, and seasons coalesce into the annual pattern of worship we experience today? To explore these questions, David Efird and Phil Hertrich will lead a series of discussions on how we, in York Minster, and the wider church, throughout the world and over time, realise the liturgical year. The discussions will be based on Paul F. Bradshaw and Maxwell E. Johnson’s, The Origins of Feasts, Fasts and Seasons in Early Christianity (London: SPCK, 2011). Participants are encouraged to read the relevant sections of the book along with the discussions, but reading will not be presupposed.
