Introduction to the Cathedral

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.

The Cathedral’s mission, ministry and musical tradition are core to its life as a Cathedral and a parish church serving the community. It also relies on the valuable financial contribution made by its income generating activities such as its shop, café, conference rooms, corporate events and concerts. It is a very busy place, attracting 200,000 visitors a year to the Cathedral, its churchyard and medieval herb garden. The Cathedral relies on a small but dedicated team to be inclusive and welcoming to all.

Our Vision & Values

Southwark Cathedral’s original foundation was a Priory with a community that lived by the rule of St Augustine, written around 400 AD. Augustine begins his rule with the words, ‘Before all else, love God and then your neighbour, because these are the chief commandments given to us’. Our renewed vision of ‘making space for love: with Heart, Mind and Soul, finds its inspiration in our spiritual heritage.

Our mission and objectives combine in what we are calling the pathways for realising our vision. The pathways through which we will make space for love of God and neighbour are:

Objective 1: Rooted in Christian faith - to be a place of hospitality, exploration, imagination and kindness. We will be a Cathedral that rejoices in making space for all people to flourish and grow in heart, mind and soul.

Objective 2: Heart - to keep the heart healthy in London by a commitment to social justice, upholding the human dignity of all people and of every age.

Objective 3: Mind - to help people both live faithfully and think critically, being a place of learning and discovery.

Objective 4: Soul - to be a school for the soul, a place for enrichment of the inner life through prayer, our Cathedral building, the arts, and community.

Our Values

Integrity, Kindness, Justice, Courage
