100 Years of Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral



The Rev Kate Bottley celebrates the centenary of Liverpool’s Anglican cathedral and meets Christians whose faith has been shaped by this remarkable building. Consecrated in 1924, Liverpool Cathedral stands today as the largest cathedral in the UK and a beacon of hope overlooking Merseyside. \n\nVeteran tour guide Alan shows Kate around. He was a schoolchild during the cathedral’s construction and has been volunteering there for over 30 years. He takes Kate to some of his favourite parts of the building, including the bishop’s throne, which incorporates three seats as a sign of unity and welcome to other denominations.\n\nKate also meets Albert, a Ghanaian Christian invited to live in the cathedral community as part of the ‘Triangle of Hope' project. This initiative aims to promote peace and reconciliation in light of Liverpool’s historic role in the transatlantic slave trade.\n\nAcross the Mersey, we discover the Christian history of Birkenhead Priory, the most ancient building still standing on Merseyside. With favourite hymns recorded within the priory’s Chapter House and in the spectacular setting of Liverpool Cathedral itself.\n\n1.\tPraise My Soul, the King of Heaven – Liverpool Anglican Cathedral\n2.\tThe Summons – Liverpool Anglican Cathedral\n3.\tI Will Be with You – Our Lady of Compassion, Formby\n4.\tThis Is Not the End – Way Church, Wigan\n5.\tMorning Has Broken – Birkenhead Priory\n6.\tJerusalem – Liverpool Anglican Cathedral
