Strangely, I think it is now called the Diocese of Leeds(?). Hi This is old news. This arrangement started to come3 into place when I was still in Bradford - and I've been retired nearly 9 years. The then fairly newly appointed Bishop of Bradford got the "top job" - not sure what the actual structure is - it wasn't relevant to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveHarries Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 A snippet related, albeit slightly, to church music as well as clergy matters. On Friday morning it was announced by the Bishop of Durham that the next Dean of Durham Cathedral; is to be Rev. Canon Dr. Philip Plyming who trained for ordination at, and is currently warden of, Cranmer Hall and a member of the college of canons of Durham Cathedral. The connection with church music is that Dr. Plyming is, as he himself said at his announcing, also a former chorister of Durham Cathedral.

Dave Sorry, I should have been more specific. My question was about your comment: "The connection with church music is that Dr. Plyming is, as he himself said at his announcing, also a former chorister of Durham Cathedral." The formal announcement, nor the Q&A included any reference to this, as far as I can see. Could you give a reference for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the video of the announcement in the cathedral Dr. Plyming says at one point: "I know Durham Cathedral as a place of worship and as a former chorister whose faith came alive in services of Choral Evensong I look forward to seeing its worshipping tradition flourish." I may have made a slight error in assuming that he meant Choral Evensong at Durham: I have just found a bit in which he says that he "went to church as a child but came to a personal faith in Christ while at university." His entry on Wikipedia says that he studied Russian and German at Robinson College, Cambridge where he gained a BA in 1996. ANyway if he was a chorister, regardless of wherever, then there is the church music connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, Philip is very musical, appreciates a wide range of musical styles, and gets the role of music (or various musicks) in worship. A wonderful appointment from this and many other points of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
