Hymn(tune NEH 511 Winchester New)

Ride on, ride on, the time is right:the roadside crowds scream with delight;palm branches mark the pilgrim waywhere beggars squat and children play.

Ride on, ride on, your critics wait,intrigue and rumour circulate;new lies abound in word and jest,and trust becomes a suspect guest.

Ride on, ride on, while well awarethat those who shout and wave and stareare mortals who, with common breath,can crave for life and lust for death.

Ride on, ride on, though blind with tears,though dumb to speak and deaf to jeers.Your path is clear, though few can telltheir garments pave the road to hell.

Ride on, ride on, the room is let,the wine matured, the saw is whet;and dice your death-throes shall attendthough faith, not fate, dictates your end.

Ride on, ride on, God’s love demands;justice and peace lie in your hands.Evil and angel voices rhyme:this is the man and this the time.

Doubt – Lent Art Installation by Susie MacMurrayInternationally renowned artist Susie MacMurray conceived the piece Doubt which is on display in the Cathedral through the connections of the weight of darkness and uncertainty suspended from above. It stems from a conversation Susie had with a soldier who had served in Afghanistan at the time that she was installing Cloud in the Great Hall, Winchester. They talked about PTSD and the effects that the pressure of extended periods of tension and anxiety have on the mind. The soldier spoke about how all the time he was in the war zone he felt a dark weight hovering behind his neck. It made Susie think of 40 days and 40 nights.

If you would like to know more about the artist and the installation please do look out for the leaflets and Prayer Card in the chancel and at the West end.

The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie Southwark

In 606 a Convent was established on the south bank of the River Thames at the place from which the ferry used to cross over to the City of London. In 1106 an Augustinian Priory was established. From here they ministered to pilgrims and travellers, and to the sick and the needy of the area and the Word of God was faithfully preached and the sacraments celebrated. As part of their ministry, the Hospital of St Thomas was established (now located opposite the Houses of Parliament).

Following the Reformation, the Priory Church became a Parish Church. In many ways the building was sadly neglected but the gospel continued to be faithfully preached and the people of the parish cared for and taught. A parish school – now Cathedral School – was opened in 1704 following in the work already established in schools founded from the parish under a charter from Queen Elizabeth I.

The life, diversity and character of the area are revealed in the tombs and monuments within the church. Among them is that of John Gower (c. 1330-1408), poet and friend of Chaucer, whose Canterbury Tales begin in Southwark. Across the nave is a memorial to William Shakespeare, who spent much of his life in Southwark, and above it, a stained glass window depicting scenes from his plays. Edmund Shakespeare, John Fletcher and Philip Massinger are all buried in the Cathedral. Lancelot Andrewes, who translated the first five books of the Bible into English, is buried by the High Altar. He is a founding father of the Church of England. In the grounds is buried Mahomet, Chief of the Mohegan Tribe from New England and a memorial to him can be found in the churchyard.

Today in old and new buildings, this Cathedral continues to serve the people of its parish and the people of the diocese, to be a centre of teaching, of worship, prayer and pilgrimage; a place of inclusive welcome for all people. This continues to be a place of major regeneration and change as Bankside has once again become a residential area, a playground for London and a place where the arts are celebrated, as well as a growing centre for political, financial and legal decision making. Southwark Cathedral is the constant factor in an ever changing and exciting community in which we continue to proclaim a gospel of radical engagement with God and the world.

We therefore welcome you to this holy place which is both ancient and modern. Together we continue to serve the people of this area - those who are passing through, crossing the river, making a new home, coming to work or simply here to enjoy themselves – and the people who live here, in much the same way as our forebears did and with all those who have gone before us we do it all from a place of praise and worship of Almighty God.
