Hold your own quiet day with these resources

Space to reflect

On Saturday 2 January 2021 we hosted an Online Quiet Day, to encourage us all to take space to nuture our faith.

This Quiet Day was held close to the Epiphany, and included the regular pattern of daily services and lunchtime prayers, as well as two addresses, delivered by members of the cathedral clergy.

If you missed the day, the live-streamed reflections, the lunchtime prayers and the service of Compline are available from this page for you to hold your own quiet day, wherever you are.
