A candle is lit in the Shrine of St Cuthbert in Durham Cathedral, on Tuesday, during 24 hours of prayer for the dis­­cern­ment process leading to the nom­ina­­tion of the next Bishop of Dur­ham. The Rt Revd Paul Butler retired from the see in Febru­ary. The Dean, the Very Revd Dr Philip Plyming, said beforehand: “Dur­­ham Cathedral is called to serve the dio­cese as a centre of prayer, and I be­­lieve God delights when we offer our own prayers for the future in faith, trust, and hope”
