22nd April. Diocesan digest
Listen to the April edition of the Diocesan Digest by clicking on the following link http://www.bwbf.org.uk/player/... or via our website at https://www.lichfield-cathedral.org/about-us/diocesan-digestIn April’s Diocesan Digest you certainly get the impression that Spring is knocking at the door. The days are getting warmer and longer, the air feels softer and new life is all around from the bleating of new born Lambs to the rainbow of flowers and the blossom on the trees. This months edition of the Digest has a bit of an outdoor feel as we listen to the sounds of Spring Birdsong, hear about the concept of Forest Church and learn about an often heard, but seldom seen bell that’s hidden high up on the outside of the cathedral. Add to that we’ve practical advice on weighing ingredients for those who can’t see so well and some sound financial advice following the Budget. There’s also the usual features where we take a look at the news from the parishes of the Lichfield Diocese, the wider church and there’s the latest, and seasonal, instalment of our series in the poetry cycle of “A Shropshire Lad” by AE Housman. We’re also keen to hear your thoughts on what the Digest should be named as we move towards being available on Smartspeakers. Is The Digest acceptable or do we need a new and more snappy name so when someone shouts at Alexa, Siri or Hey Google we’re the sound that comes back.
