The Cathedral and Current Restrictions
WE ARE SORRY TO BE CLOSED
With heavy hearts we have taken the difficult decision to close the cathedral building to visitors and members of the congregations. The rate of Covid-19 infection in Surrey is alarmingly high. We have been told by our Government and by Public Health England that we should all stay home except for essential journeys. We believe that in remaining open to visitors and members of the congregation we may, inadvertently, be communicating an ‘invitation’ to leave home.
We are all disappointed that we have had to take this decision, and with the support of Chapter, we believe that this is the right thing to do in the current circumstances.
We all look forward to the time when we can be together in person.
Praying together
Lord God, you have called us to ventures of which we cannot see the ending,
by paths as yet untrodden,
through perils unknown.
Give us faith to go out with good courage,
not knowing where we go,
but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Very Reverend Dianna Gwilliams
Dean of Guildford
Guildford Cathedral is a friendly, welcoming community, with the worship of God at its heart. We welcome visitors, pilgrims and tourists of all ages from near and far and look forward to welcoming you amongst them.
