 * Of course you know the minster was built to worship. Christians would worship every day to god except for Sunday where there was a big carol service attended by many people. On Sunday in the evening a special prayer would be made. The minster had its own choir mad up of men, boys and girls. The choir was made for singing a song for worship called evensong which was a traditional song. The minster had its own way of worship which was different to worship in parish churches. the bishops lead the church in worship!

In the Minster there is a bishop's cathedra it is more commonly known as a cathedral .The cathedral is an important symbol of the bishop's authority. __**By Brannoc**__

The Minster, like any other church was built to be used as a place for the worship of God in the christian tradition. Worship is the most important work of the church and by the church we mean a community of people as well as the building in which they meet for worship. Worship takes place every day of the year as in many other churches. Worship in the Minster is in some ways different from worship in a local parish churches which serves a neighbourhood area. The Minster is not a parish church but those who work here or worship here regulary may request the arrangment of services which mark important times in the course of live ... baptisms, weddings and funerals.
