Who we are
Southwark Cathedral has been a place of Christian worship for over 1400 years. Now it stands on the vibrant and exciting regenerated south bank of the Thames surrounded by cultural venues such as Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe and Borough Market, the offices of major companies as well as schools and diverse residential communities. It is an inclusive Christian community that offers a welcome to all.
Our culture and values
Following the arrival of a new Dean in December 2023, the Chapter of Southwark Cathedral along with the new Dean and Cathedral staff have spent time clarifying its vision for the next five to ten years. As a result, we are committing ourselves to 'making space for love with heart mind and soul'.
Heart – ‘to encourage a commitment to social justice and to the inclusive nature of the Cathedral’ and ‘good pastoral care’.
Mind – ‘to be involved in education and to the “thinking life” of the Cathedral’.
Soul – ‘a commitment to high quality of liturgy’, ‘development of the inner life and spirituality’ and ‘commitment to the choral tradition and support of the arts’
