The Dean and Chapter express our deep sorrow over the news of Her Majesty The Queen’s death.
Queen Elizabeth II is an international icon of steadfast faith and humble, servant leadership. As a follower of Jesus, she was a person of deep faith in God and inspired the faith of millions in this country and around the world.
