The ministry of the Church is the ministry of Christ, its chief shepherd andhigh priest. Those who are ordained are called to share Christ’s work: tospeak in his name and build up the Church of which he is the head.

This service of ordination perpetuates a pattern of ministry in directcontinuity – through a long line of succession – with the apostles. Just asJesus commissioned his first disciples, so by the laying on of hands thearchbishop will commission these disciples to mission. That is, to witnessto the resurrection and to preach the good news of salvation in all theworld. The particular role of bishops – while remaining deacons and priests– is to proclaim and guard the faith, to preside at the sacraments, to leadthe Church’s prayer and to hand on its ministry.

During the service the candidates will be asked to confirm theircommitment to these priorities. The archbishop will ask all who arepresent to undertake to support the ordination of these candidates, notleast because as bishops they will act not just on behalf of particular localChristian communities, but of the whole Church.

Christ’s mission is the fundamental and unifying reality for all ministry. Itturns the Church outwards towards the world that God loved so muchthat he sent his only Son. It prepares the Church for that goal and end ofall things, when Christ himself will present to the Father a world madeperfect by his work – when all his people share in the joyful communion oflove that binds the Father and the Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

The sculptures that are displayed either side of the front of the nave areby London artist Gerry Judah and form part of the Cathedral’s remembrance of those who lost their lives in the First World War. Intheir shape and colour they recall the thousands of war grave whitecrosses placed in the war cemeteries across the world but on them areplaced devastated cityscapes, such as we see in current Syria and othernations, reminding us of contemporary conflicts. These sculptures rupture the symmetry of the Cathedral just as war works to break downhuman harmony. Placed where they are, we are invited to walk throughthem, and the failure and pain they represent, into a sacred space of hopewhere we, in all our diversity, are invited to come together to worship,to respect and learn from each other.

St Mary Magdalene Secondary School for the Deaf

The Diocese of Chelmsford’s partner dioceses in Kenya are requestingsupport for the development of a secondary school for deaf children.There are four primary schools for deaf children serving five diocesesbut no secondary school. At present, students have to travel to Nyerifor secondary schooling but places are in short supply and many end upstaying at home disappointed. The government has given eight acres ofland for a new school in the parish of Riandu in the Diocese of Mbeereclose to the border with the Diocese of Embu. The Mothers’ Union isactively supporting the project and has offered the use of their retreatfacilities in Siakago so that the school can begin – with up to 30 pupils –in 2014 while the main site is developed.

Miramar Missions

Miramar Missions began life in 2009 when two members of CromerParish Church returned to Siargao Island in the Philippines to begin agospel outreach and community development project based around thesmall fishing village of General Luna. Self financing and drawing on theirown savings for their practical support, Miramar Missions primarilyworks with the children and young people of the village and surrounding area raising aspirations and hope, providing practical educational support and introducing the young people to a vibrantChristian faith. It is to this aspect of the work that all monies given willbe used. It also offers those from this country an opportunity to visitand experience life in a very different culture and the opportunity to joinin the gospel work, something the Bishop of Grimsby was able to do himself in 2011, gaining and learning far more than he was able to give.

Processional Hymn

during which the Archbishop of Canterbury’s procession leaves the West End of

the Cathedral.

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation;

O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation:

Come ye who hear,

Brothers and sisters draw near,

Praise him in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,

Shelters thee under his wings, yea, so gently sustaineth:

Hast thou not seen

All that is needful hath been

Granted in what he ordaineth?

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;

Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee;

Ponder anew

All the Almighty can do,

He who with love doth befriend thee.

Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging,

Who, when the elements madly around thee are raging,

Biddeth them cease,

Turneth their fury to peace,

Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.

7

Praise to the Lord, who when darkness of sin is abounding,

Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding,

Sheddeth his light,

Chaseth the horrors of night,

Saints with his mercy surrounding.

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!

All that hath life and breath come now with praises before him!

Let the Amen

Sound from his people again:

Gladly for ay we adore him.

Words: Joachim Neander (1650-80) Tune: Lobe den Herren

trans. Catherine Winkworth (1827-78) and others The Chorale Book for England (1863)

The Greeting

Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.Blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

There is one body and one spirit.There is one hope to which we were called;

one Lord, one faith, one baptism,one God and Father of all.

Peace be with youand also with you.

God calls his people to follow Christ, and forms us into a royalpriesthood, a holy nation, to declare the wonderful deeds of him who hascalled us out of darkness into his marvellous light.

The Church is the Body of Christ, the people of God and the dwelling-placeof the Holy Spirit. In baptism the whole Church is summoned to witnessto God’s love and to work for the coming of his kingdom.

To serve this royal priesthood, God has given particular ministries. Bishopsare ordained to be shepherds of Christ’s flock and guardians of the faith ofthe apostles, proclaiming the gospel of God’s kingdom and leading hispeople in mission. Obedient to the call of Christ and in the power of theHoly Spirit, they are to gather God’s people and celebrate with them thesacraments of the new covenant. Thus formed into a single communion offaith and love, the Church in each place and time is united with the Churchin every place and time.

The Liturgy of the Word

The New Testament Reading

read by

The Very Reverend Hosam Naoum, Dean of St George’s Cathedral in Jerusalem

A reading from the Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians.

We have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that thisextraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. We areafflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; alwayscarrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also bemade visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given upto death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in ourmortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you.

But just as we have the same spirit of faith that is in accordance withscripture – ‘I believed, and so I spoke’ – we also believe, and so we speak,because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us alsowith Jesus, and will bring us with you into his presence. Yes, everything isfor your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, mayincrease thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

2 Corinthians 4. 7-15

This is the word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Gradual Hymn

Here is love vast as the ocean,

Loving kindness as the flood,

When the Prince of life, our ransom

Shed for us his precious blood.

Who his love will not remember?

Who can cease to sing his praise?

He can never be forgotten

Throughout heaven’s eternal days.

On the mount of crucifixion,

Fountains opened deep and wide;

Through the floodgates of God’s mercy

Flowed a vast and gracious tide.

Grace and love, like mighty rivers,

Poured incessant from above,

And heaven’s peace and perfect justice

Kissed a guilty world in love.

Let me all thy love accepting,

Love thee, ever all my days;

Let me seek thy kingdom only

And my life be to thy praise;

Thou alone shalt be my glory,

Nothing in the world I see.

Thou hast cleansed and sanctified me,

Thou thyself hast set me free.

In thy truth thou dost direct me

By thy Spirit through thy Word;

And thy grace my need is meeting,

As I trust in thee, my Lord.

Of thy fullness thou art pouring

Thy great love and power on me,

Without measure, full and boundless,

Drawing out my heart to thee.

Gospel Reading

Turn towards the Deacon as the procession brings the Gospel into the midst of

the congregation.

The Choir sings

Alleluia.I do not call you servants but friends,because I have made known to youeverything that I have heard from my Father.Alleluia.

The Deacon says

The Lord be with youand also with you.

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.

The Choir sings and all repeat

The mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, andkneeling before him, she asked a favour of him. And he said to her, ‘Whatdo you want?’ She said to him, ‘Declare that these two sons of mine willsit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.’ But Jesusanswered, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drinkthe cup that I am about to drink?’ They said to him, ‘We are able.’ He saidto them, ‘You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and atmy left, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has beenprepared by my Father.’

When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers. But Jesuscalled them to him and said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lordit over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. It will not be soamong you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be yourservant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; justas the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his lifea ransom for many.’

Matthew 20. 20-28

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is,

seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary,

and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

The Liturgy of Ordination

The Declarations

The Ordinands stand before the Archbishop, who addresses the congregation,

saying

Bishops are called to serve and care for the flock of Christ. Mindful of theGood Shepherd, who laid down his life for his sheep, they are to love andpray for those committed to their charge, knowing their people and beingknown by them. As principal ministers of word and sacrament, stewards ofthe mysteries of God, they are to preside at the Lord’s table and to leadthe offering of prayer and praise. They are to feed God’s pilgrim people,and so build up the Body of Christ.

They are to baptize and confirm, nurturing God’s people in the life of theSpirit and leading them in the way of holiness. They are to discern andfoster the gifts of the Spirit in all who follow Christ, commissioningthem to minister in his name. They are to preside over the ordination ofdeacons and priests, and join together in the ordination of bishops.

As chief pastors, it is their duty to share with their fellow presbyters theoversight of the Church, speaking in the name of God and expounding thegospel of salvation. With the Shepherd’s love, they are to be merciful, butwith firmness; to minister discipline, but with compassion. They are to havea special care for the poor, the outcast and those who are in need. Theyare to seek out those who are lost and lead them home with rejoicing,declaring the absolution and forgiveness of sins to those who turn toChrist.

Following the example of the prophets and the teaching of the apostles,they are to proclaim the gospel boldly, confront injustice and work forrighteousness and peace in all the world.

19

The Archbishop addresses the Ordinands directly:

David, Peter and Roger, we trust that you have weighed and pondered allthis, and that you are now fully determined to devote yourself to thisministry to which God has called you. We pray that you may offer to himyour best powers of mind and spirit, so that as you follow the rule andteaching of our Lord you may grow up into his likeness, and sanctify thelives of all with whom you have to do.

And now, in order that we may know your mind and purpose, you mustmake the declarations we put to you.

Do you accept the Holy Scriptures as revealing all things necessary foreternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ?

Ordinands I do so accept them.

Will you be diligent in prayer, in reading Holy Scripture, and in all studiesthat will deepen your faith and fit you to bear witness to the truth of thegospel?

Ordinands By the help of God, I will.

Will you lead your people in proclaiming the glorious gospel of Christ, sothat the good news of salvation may be heard in every place?


Will you teach the doctrine of Christ as the Church of England hasreceived it, will you refute error, and will you hand on entire the faith thatis entrusted to you?


Will you be faithful in ordaining and commissioning ministers of the gospel?


Will you promote peace and reconciliation in the Church and in the world;and will you strive for the visible unity of Christ’s Church?


Will you be gentle and merciful for Christ’s sake to those who are in need,and speak for those who have no other to speak for them?


20

Will you endeavour to fashion your own life and that of your householdaccording to the way of Christ and make your home a place of hospitalityand welcome?


Will you work with your fellow servants in the gospel for the sake of thekingdom of God?


Will you accept the discipline of this Church, exercising authority withjustice, courtesy and love, and always holding before you the example ofChrist?


Will you then, in the strength of the Holy Spirit, continually stir up the giftof God that is in you, that the good news of Christ may be proclaimed inall the world?


All stand

The Ordinands turn to face the congregation.

The Archbishop continues

Brothers and sisters, you have heard how great is the charge that David,Peter and Roger are ready to undertake, and you have heard theirdeclarations. Is it now your will that they should be ordained?It is.

Will you continually pray for them?We will.

Will you uphold and encourage them in their ministry?We will.

21

The Ordinands turn to face the Archbishop, who continues

David, Peter and Roger, remember always with thanksgiving that God hasentrusted to your care Christ’s beloved bride, his own flock, bought by theshedding of his blood on the cross.

You are to govern Christ’s people in truth, lead them out to proclaim thegood news of the kingdom, and prepare them to stand before him when atlast he comes in glory.

You cannot bear the weight of this calling in your own strength, but only bythe grace and power of God. Pray therefore that you may be conformedmore and more to the image of God’s Son, so that through the outpouringof the Holy Spirit your life and ministry may be made holy and acceptableto God.

Pray earnestly for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The Archbishop, the Ordinands and the congregation kneel. The College of

Bishops moves to stand around the Ordinands.

Silence is kept.

22

A Deacon begins and all join in singing

Veni Creator

Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,And lighten with celestial fire;

Thou the anointing Spirit art,

Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart:

Thy blessèd unction from above

Is comfort, life and fire of love;

Enable with perpetual light

The dullness of our blinded sight:

Anoint and cheer our soilèd face

With the abundance of thy grace:

Keep far our foes, give peace at home;

Where thou art guide no ill can come.

Teach us to know the Father, Son,

And thee, of Both, to be but One;

That through the ages all along

This may be our endless song,

Praise to thy eternal merit,

The Ordination Prayer

The Ordinands continue to kneel before the Archbishop.

We praise and glorify you, almighty Father, because in your infinite love youhave formed throughout the world a holy people for your ownpossession, a royal priesthood, a universal Church. We praise and glorifyyou because you sent your only Son Jesus Christ, the image of youreternal and invisible glory, the firstborn of all creation and head of theChurch. We praise and glorify you that by his death he has overcomedeath; and that, having ascended into heaven, he poured out your HolySpirit upon his disciples, to give them power to preach the gospel to theends of the earth and to build up your people in love.

And now we give you thanks that you have called these your servants,whom we ordain in your name, to share as bishops in the ministry of thegospel of Christ, the Apostle and High Priest of our faith and the Shepherdof our souls.

Therefore, Father, through Christ our Lord we pray:

Here the Archbishop and other bishops lay their hands on the heads of the

Ordinands, and the Archbishop says

Send down the Holy Spirit on your servant Name,

for the office and work of a bishop in your Church.

The love of Jesus calls us

Our joyous praise to sing;

Our deeply felt thanksgivings

We now together bring,

For all God’s many blessings,

Unasked yet still received,

And for the generations,

Who faithfully believed.

The love of Jesus calls us,

That we may always be

Companions on a journey,

Where all the world may see

That serving Christ is freedom

Which time does not destroy;

Where Christ’s command is duty,

And every duty joy.


To go where he would go,

To challenge all that limits,

To change, to learn, to grow,

To know that Christ has freed us,

That prisons are no more;

For those who seek his kingdom,

Christ opens every door.

29


In swiftly changing days,

To be God’s co-creators

In new and wondrous ways;

That God with men and women

May so transform the earth,

That love and peace and justice

May give God’s kingdom birth.

The Archbishop takes the bread and wine.

30

The Eucharistic Prayer

The Archbishop says


Lift up your hearts.We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.It is right to give thanks and praise.

It is indeed right and good that we should give you thanks, praise and glory,almighty and everlasting God, through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Forafter his resurrection he sent out his apostles and evangelists to preach thegospel to all nations and lead us in the way of truth. Himself the chiefcornerstone, he founded his Church upon the apostles firmly to stand forever as a sign of your holiness upon earth and a living witness to all of theway that leads to heaven. And so with angels and archangels, and with allthe company of heaven, we lift our voices and join in their unending hymnof praise:

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts,heaven and earth are full of thy glory:Glory be to thee, O Lord most high.

Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.Hosanna in the highest.

Lord, you are holy indeed, the source of all holiness; grant that by thepower of your Holy Spirit, and according to your holy will, these gifts ofbread and wine may be to us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ;who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread and gave youthanks; he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take, eat; this is mybody which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me. In the sameway, after supper he took the cup and gave you thanks; he gave it to them,saying: Drink this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, which isshed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often asyou drink it, in remembrance of me.

31

A Deacon sings

Great is the mystery of faith.


And so, Father, calling to mind his death on the cross, his perfect sacrificemade once for the sins of the whole world; rejoicing in his mightyresurrection and glorious ascension, and looking for his coming in glory, wecelebrate this memorial of our redemption. As we offer you this oursacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, we bring before you this bread and thiscup and we thank you for counting us worthy to stand in your presenceand serve you. Send the Holy Spirit on your people and gather into one inyour kingdom all who share this one bread and one cup, so that we, in the company of all the saints, may praise and glorify you for ever, throughJesus Christ our Lord; by whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory be yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever.

For the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours

now and for ever.

Hymn

Let all mortal flesh keep silence

And with fear and trembling stand;

Ponder nothing earthly-minded,

For with blessing in his hand

Christ our God to earth descendeth,

Our full homage to demand.

King of kings, yet born of Mary,

As of old on earth he stood,

Lord of lords, in human vesture,

In the body and the blood:

He will give to all the faithful

His own self for heavenly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven

Spreads its vanguard on the way,

As the Light of light descendeth

From the realms of endless day,

That the powers of hell may vanish

As the darkness clears away.

At his feet the six-winged seraph;

Cherubim with sleepless eye,

Veil their faces to the Presence,

As with ceaseless voice they cry,

Alleluya, Alleluya,

Alleluya, Lord most high!

Words: Liturgy of St James Tune: Picardy

trans. Gerard Moultrie (1829-85) French Carol found in Julien Tiersot’s Mélodies (Paris, 1887)

35

King of Kings, Majesty,

God of heaven, living in me.

Gentle Saviour, closest friend,

Strong deliverer, beginning and end;

All within me falls at Your throne.

Your Majesty, I can but bow;

I lay my all before You now.

In royal robes I don't deserve,

I live to serve Your Majesty.

Earth and heaven worship You,

Love eternal, faithful and true,

Who bought the nations, ransomed souls,

Brought this sinner near to Your throne;

All within me cries out in praise.

Your Majesty, I can but bow;

I lay my all before You now.

In royal robes I don't deserve,

I live to serve Your Majesty.

Words and Music: Jarrod Cooper (b.1970)

Hymn

during which the Archbishop’s procession returns to the West End of the

Cathedral.

Lord of the church, we pray for our renewing:

Christ over all, our undivided aim.

Fire of the Spirit, burn for our enduing,

Wind of the Spirit, fan the living flame!

We turn to Christ amid our fear and failing,

The will that lacks the courage to be free,

The weary labours, all but unavailing,

To bring us nearer what a church should be.

Lord of the church, we seek a Father’s blessing,

A true repentance and a faith restored,

A swift obedience and a new possessing,

Filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord!

We turn to Christ from all our restless striving,

Unnumbered voices with a single prayer:

The living water for our souls’ reviving,

In Christ to live, and love and serve and care.

Lord of the church, we long for our uniting,

True to one calling, by one vision stirred;

One cross proclaiming and one creed reciting,

One in the truth of Jesus and his word.

So lead us on; till toil and trouble ended,

One church triumphant one new song shall sing,

To praise his glory, risen and ascended,

Christ over all, the everlasting King!

Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b.1926) Tune: Londonderry
