Lichfield Cathedral is a warm, lively and historic Cathedral in the heart of England, with a new five year programme of mission and outreach to enable us to bring the good news of the Gospel to the people of Staffordshire, north Shropshire and the Black Country, as well as the many thousands who visit or make pilgrimage each year; and to live out faithfully and joyfully our role as Mother Church to the Diocese.
The Bishop of Lichfield wishes to appoint a Canon Precentor to play a full part in the life and governance of the Cathedral, with particular responsibility for ensuring excellence in liturgy, whilst also being creative and imaginative in enabling those on the edges of faith to be drawn in through our musical, prayerful and worshipping life.
The Bishop welcomes expressions of interest from clergy with at least six years in holy orders, who would thrive in a very hard working yet deeply rewarding, strongly collegiate environment.
