Minster making 2 September 2012, 3.00 pm
WELCOME TO LEEDS MINSTER St Peter-at-Leeds, set by the river on an ancient and holy Christian site where prayer and worship have been offered to God for over twelve hundred years, is the historic parish church of the present-day vibrant and enterprising city of Leeds. Little remains of the original Saxon minster that pre-dated the mediaeval church, apart from re-assembled fragments of a large stone cross in the Anglian style adorned with symbols from a variety of sources and discovered when the medieval building was demolished in 1838. Saxon minsters were places of community where priests or monks gathered and prayed together before setting out on journeys of mission to the surrounding areas; they were also places offering hospitality to travellers. The present church was built under the inspiration of Dean Hook, whose intention was for a building to express the grace and compassion of God at a time when the surrounding area was a huddled mass of squalid housing and money was scarce. At the time of its construction, St Peter-at-Leeds was the largest church built in this country since the completion of St Paul’s Cathedral in 1707. Leeds Parish Church was consecrated with great ceremony on 2 September 1841 in the presence of a vast congregation including Florence Nightingale. Hook’s vision for the church to have at its heart the loving prayers of devoted people to sustain the life of a growing city, and the dedication of accomplished musicians to reflect both the majesty and mystery of God, continue to be at the forefront of present-day mission and endeavour. The church and refectory are open daily for tourists and other visitors. The church building can accommodate more than 500 people downstairs for public services with seating for a further 800 in the galleries, providing a total capacity in excess of 1300. A number of large services and special events take place here annually, including regular civic occasions such as this afternoon’s service of dedication and thanksgiving. Our mission statement commits us to aspire to the very highest standards in prayer and worship, to work together to build a community of mission, to provide a hospitable welcome for all and to serve the wider needs of the people of the city of Leeds.

I was glad when they said unto me: we will go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand in thy gates: O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city: that is at unity in itself. O pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls: and plenteousness within thy palaces. Charles Hubert Hastings Parry [1848-1918] – 1901 Psalm 122, Verses 1 to 3, 6 & 7
Christ is made the sure foundation and the precious corner-stone, Who, the two walls underlying, bound in each, binds both in one, Holy Sion’s help for ever, and her confidence alone.
To this temple, where we call Thee, come, O Lord of hosts, today; With thy wonted loving-kindness hear Thy people as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction shed within its walls for ay.
The Bishop of Ripon and Leeds: How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God and this is the gate of Heaven. Truly God is in this place.

Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants gifts of grace by prayer to gain; Here to have and hold for ever, those good things their prayers obtain, And hereafter, in Thy glory, with thy blessèd ones to reign.

Beloved in Christ, we have come together in the presence of God to give thanks for the Christian presence on this site throughout fourteen centuries and to pray for God’s blessing upon our city as we confer the title of Leeds Minster upon St Peter’s Church. Reflecting upon the Minster vision of prayer, mission, hospitality and service we will light incense, symbolic of our prayers rising to God and receive candles of prayer from other Minster Churches. We will bless the church and the people with holy water and sign a document committing ourselves to serving our city. Finally we will open the doors and bless the city of Leeds. As we long for God’s kingdom to come upon earth let us pray in the words that our Saviour has taught us.

Bairstow: Let my prayer come up [1937 Coronation Gradual]
Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live. Lord, give us this water, and we shall thirst no more.
Let my prayer come up into thy presence as the incense: and let the lifting-up of my hands be as an evening sacrifice. Edward Cuthbert Bairstow [1874-1946] – Organist & Choirmaster here from 1906 to 1913
The Bishop of Ripon and Leeds: Let us pray
Almighty God, to whose glory we celebrate the dedication of this house of prayer: we praise you for the many blessings you have given to those who worship you here: and we pray that all who seek you in this place may find you, and, being filled with the Holy Spirit, may become a living temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, Amen.

Hymn: O God, our help in ages past [St Anne] NEH 417 A Collection for the work of the Minster is taken during the singing of this Hymn 1
O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defence is sure. 3 – with Descant
Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5
Time, like an ever rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day.

Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home. William Croft [1678-1727] – from A Supplement to the New Version of the Psalms, 1708 Isaac Watts [1774-1748] – from Psalm 90

A Reading by the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Ann Castle [Philippians Chapter 2, Verses 1 to 7]
Duruflé – Ubi caritas
The Reader says: A Reading from the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians
If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant. After a short silence for reflection, the Reader says: Thanks be to God A Chorister, Alisia France-Palma from St Peter’s Church of England Primary School, asks:
Will you commit yourselves to serving the City of Leeds? Minster Pastoral Team: With the help of God, we will.
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Exsultemus, et in ipso jucundemur. Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. [Where charity and love are, God is there. Christ’s love has gathered us into one. Let us rejoice and be glad in Him. Let us fear and love the living God. And may we love each other with a sincere heart.] Maurice Duruflé [1902-1906] Text from the ancient liturgy of Maundy Thursday
Rector:
Eternal God, giver of love and power, whose Son entered our world as the servant of all, forgive us our sins and deliver us from arrogance; may we follow Christ’s example and be servants of our city in all we say and do.
One by one, the members of the Ministerial Team kneel, as a symbol of humility, and add their signatures to the Minster Proclamation Gifts are presented to members of the Congregation as tokens of service to the community - members of the Congregation in the Nave and Choir receive their gifts at this juncture; those sitting in the Gallery will receive them during the singing of the next hymn

Hymn: The Kingdom is upon you [Wolvercote] NEP 650 1
‘The kingdom is upon you!’ The voice of Jesus cries, Fulfilling with its message The wisdom of the wise; It lightens with fresh insight The striving human mind, Creating new dimensions Of purpose for mankind.
2 ‘God’s kingdom is upon you!’ The message sounds today, It summons every pilgrim To take the questing way, With eyes intent on Jesus, Our leader and our friend, Who trod faith’s road before us, And trod it to the end. 3 The kingdom is upon us! Stirred by the Spirit’s breath, We glory in its freedom From emptiness and death; We celebrate its purpose, Its mission and its goal, Alive with the conviction That Christ can make us whole.
