Join the choirs of Liverpool, Southwark and St Paul’s cathedrals to celebrate the work of God through Clergy Support Trust. The oldest choral festival in the world, which has always been at St Paul’s, is online for the first time in its 366 year history.
Four people who have been supported by the trust will share their stories, along with an anthem from each choir. Archbishop Justin Welby provides a welcome, The Lord Mayor a reading, the Bishop of Durham a sermon, and the Bishop of London a blessing. It ends with a joint hymn sung by all three choirs, and a spectacular organ voluntary from St Paul’s. Festival details and order of service: https://www.clergysupport.org.uk/festival
