125th
Birthday Celebrations
On
Wednesday 25th July the Diocese of Newcastle celebrated its
125th Anniversary; a special service was held at the
Cathedral to celebrate the event, which was led by Bishop
Martin. The Archbishop of York, The Most Reverend and Right
Honourable John Sentamu (pictured), preached at the service,
which marked 125 years to the day since the first Bishop of
Newcastle was enthroned at Durham Cathedral.
To coincide
with the service, the Cathedral also launched its
new website.
