Dean of St Paul's Cathedral announces intention to resign (31 October 2011)
St Paul’s, 31 October 2011 The Dean of St Paul's Cathedral, the Rt Rev Graeme Knowles, announced his intention to resign from his post this afternoon. He made his decision known to the Chapter and to the Bishop of London last night and has removed himself from Cathedral operations with immediate effect. He intended to submit his resignation as Dean of St Paul’s to HM the Queen today. 

31 October 2011

Statement from the Dean and Chapter (28 October 2011)
The Chapter has previously asked the encampment to leave the cathedral precinct in peace. This has not yet happened and so, following the advice of our lawyers, legal action has regrettably become necessary. The Chapter only takes this step with the greatest reluctance and remains committed to a peaceful solution. At each step of the legal process the Chapter will continue to entreat the protesters to agree to a peaceful solution and, if an injunction is granted, will then be able to discuss with the protesters how to reach this solution.

Homily given by The Dean of St Paul's at Eucharist, 28 October 2011
There are some saints who come down to us with complete biographies. We know a great deal about the life and work, for instance, of St Francis of Assisi, from his own writings and near contemporary sources. From the pages of the bible, we can experience the life, work and journeys of St Paul. But today we celebrate two apostles of Jesus, Simon and Jude, whose life stories are virtually unknown to us. Scholars are not even too sure whether the epistle or letter attributed to him in the bible is actually by him! Simon and Jude are virtually anonymous….but. In our gospel reading today from St John, Jesus tells his followers that life will not be easy for them. There will be misunderstanding, hatred even, until people see the sinfulness which pervades the human state, which should then lead to repentance and change. Jesus goes on to say:  "When the advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf”

Statement from Canon Giles Fraser
The Revd Canon Dr Giles Fraser, Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral, issued the following statement today (Saturday 22 October 2011) "I remain firmly supportive of the right of people peacefully to protest. But given the strong advice that we have received that the camp is making the cathedral and its occupants unsafe then this right has to be balanced against other rights and responsibilities too. The Christian gospel is profoundly committed to the needs of the poor and the dispossessed. Financial justice is a gospel imperative. Those who are claiming the decision to close the cathedral has been made for commercial reasons are talking complete nonsense."

Open Letter from the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral
It seems a very long time since you arrived here last weekend. I am very grateful indeed to you for the peaceful nature of your protest.

The Revd Canon Giles Fraser, BBC Radio 4, Thought for the Day (30 September 2011)
The day before yesterday, in a grand ceremony at London’s Guildhall, the City of London inducted two new sheriffs, Alan Yarrow and Wendy Mead, both previously elected by the city’s Livery Companies. It was a little like something out of Charles Dickens – with The Lord Mayor, aldermen, judges, liverymen, beadles, footmen, and chaplains, of whom I was one. All of us, it has to be said, were dressed up in some pretty extraordinary kit. And there was lots of bowing and processing.

On Wednesday evening, after 22 years of legal wrangling, Troy Davis was put to death by lethal injection. Speaking after the execution Mark McPhail’s son insisted that (and I quote) "justice was finally served for my father.”

The Revd Canon Giles Fraser, BBC Radio 4, Thought for the Day (26 July 2011)
The United States of America is in debt to the tune of 14.3 trillion dollars. By the time I finish this Thought for the Day it will have risen by another 5 million. Unless the US can up its overdraft limit by a week today, it will default on its debts with potentially catastrophic consequences for the world economy. It is, as President Obama called it a few hours ago: "a dangerous game”.
