They will be able to build on the Cathedral’s platform of innovation in proclaiming the Gospel, working in partnership and equipping other churches in the Diocese in mission.
Building partnerships
The new Dean will have a gift for developing partnerships and be at ease in the public square. Norwich Cathedral has an excellent platform of partnerships and relationships, and the next Dean will love community engagement, using the Cathedral’s convening power as a force for good in the City, County and Diocese.
Prophetic edge
Social and environmental responsibility is at the heart of the life of the Cathedral. The next Dean of Norwich will drive forward the Cathedral’s commitment to embrace the social Gospel and inhabit the five Marks of Mission. The new Dean will keep the Cathedral looking outwards to find the prophetic margins and edge.
