Good Shepherd Cathedral
The Anglican Episcopal Cathedral of The Good Shepherd-Peru
Church and Rector Profile
July 2016
SECTION ONE
Overview
Since its establishment in 1846, the church, which is now known as the Anglican Episcopal Cathedral of The Good
Shepherd – Peru (The Good Shepherd) has been a pillar of the English speaking community in Lima, Peru.
Although The Good Shepherd was initially established to serve the English-speaking expatriate and non-Roman
Catholic community, today its broader mission includes a Spanish-speaking congregation. The church currently has an
active congregation of approximately 60 parishioners, who attend Sunday services on a regular basis.
The Good Shepherd is seeking a new Rector for the English-speaking congregation who can help the English-speaking
congregation to grow, and thrive, and contribute to the broader mission of the Anglican Church in Peru.
Vision
The Good Shepherd seeks to broaden our scope of worship, in order to build a healthy, strong and vibrant congregation
that will bring people to God through Jesus Christ.
Mission
As our mission, we embrace the Archbishop of Canterbury's words from his lecture on “Revolutionary Love”.
“Firstly, the church exists to worship God in Jesus Christ.
Secondly, the church exists to make new disciples of Jesus Christ.
Everything else is decoration, some of it may be necessary, useful, wonderful decoration, but it is decoration...
The best decision anyone can ever make at any point in life, in any circumstances, whoever they are, whatever they are,
wherever they are, is to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. There is no better decision for a human being in this life.”
SECTION TWO
Our New Rector
We seek a Rector with the vision and enthusiasm to lead The Good Shepherd into the future and with the experience to
guide us to realize our goals. Our new Rector will be an energetic leader who can inspire and mentor, with a leadership
style that encourages collaborative decision-making, and welcomes new ideas and approaches.
As The Good Shepherd is committed to being a place for all ages and backgrounds with a distinct sense of spirituality,
we seek a Rector who will embrace this challenge with enthusiasm and energetically lead our church to an exciting
future.
The new Rector must have relevant attributes, skills, experience and possess the qualities needed to support The Good
Shepherd, its congregation, and ministries. Our new Rector should be:
• A Spiritual Guide – anchored in faith, being a gifted preacher and bible teacher. Someone who will lead us
collectively and individually in our spiritual growth and fulfillment that will in turn lead the congregation in a
deeper experience of the worship of God.
• A Counselor/ Healer – prepared to visit the sick, elderly, shut-ins, and those in crisis. An advisor, who will be
available to counsel those of all ages with patience, insight, and compassion. Our ageing members have particular
needs for support and pastoral care. We seek someone who will sit with the sick, pray with the troubled, and
nurture our children and younger members.

SECTION THREE
The Church Community
The Anglican Episcopal Cathedral of The Good Shepherd - Peru is the Cathedral and Mother Church of the Diocese of
Peru, which in turn is part of the Anglican Church of South America, one of the provinces of the Anglican Communion.
The Cathedral is located in the dynamic and vibrant district of Miraflores, and adjacent to the upper income district of
San Isidro, in Lima, the capital city of Peru; a city with a population of approximately 10 million, and with many
contrasts: full of history, culture, music, great food, and sightseeing, but with 20% of its population still living in
poverty.
Miraflores is a friendly and mainly a middle and upper income district with a variety of attractions, and serves as both a
commercial and cultural hub. Although the Cathedral is located within a residential area on Santa Cruz Avenue, the area
is gradually turning into a commercial district with supermarkets, a movie theater, hotels, banks, gas stations, popular
restaurants, different kinds of stores, offices, and schools, including two international schools (with English speaking
curriculums) and two Roman Catholic parish schools.
In addition, the Cathedral is located just a few blocks away from a pre-Inca archaeological site and museum, the “Huaca
Pucllana”, which is a major tourist attraction.
The location of the Cathedral is within an area that has a population of potential parishioners that is mainly made up of
two groups: one of them is the International English-speaking community of Lima, which is scattered throughout the
city, and mainly work in embassies, international corporations or schools (there are about 7 international Englishspeaking schools around Lima). They stay for short periods of time (3 to 5 years), but a few others stay for longer
periods or even on a permanent basis, for a variety of reasons. The other group is the Anglo-Peruvian community of
Lima, who are permanent residents in Lima.
SECTION FOUR
The Cathedral
I. Our Beginnings
The Anglican Church of The Good Shepherd was founded in 1844, by a group of UK and US Protestants living in Peru,
who wanted to worship God in the English language and in their tradition. The Government of Peru formally
recognized the church in 1846, as a result of a Treaty signed between Peru and the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland. It started its life as a Church in 1849 with the arrival of the first Anglican priest from England. Over the
years, the Church had held its services on several premises. Its current Church Building was built between 1947 and
1948, and was consecrated in 1949.
In its beginnings, the Anglican Church of The Good Shepherd was part of the Diocese of the Falkland Islands, until the
establishment of the Province of the Anglican Church of South America (Provincia de la Iglesia Anglicana del Cono
Sur de América) in 1981. Prior to that, the church had been part of the Diocese of Chile and Peru and Bolivia, until it
was finally part of the Diocese of Peru that was established in 1977.
In 1992, the Good Shepherd became the Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Peru, with its current official name being
The Anglican Episcopal Cathedral of The Good Shepherd - Peru.
Since its establishment in 1846, the church, which is now known as the Anglican Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, has
been a pillar of the English speaking community, not only from English speaking countries, but actually the wider
international community of Peru. Its historic relationships have grown deep roots in both communities, by contributing
to their spiritual nurturing, and offering a platform for social, community outreach, artistic, and learning developments.
II. Our People
We are a traditional, but not overly formal congregation. We currently use the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of the
Episcopal Church of the United States of America: Holy Eucharist Rite One (traditional language) at the 8 a.m. Sunday
service, and Holy Eucharist Rite Two (cotemporary language) at the 10 a.m. Sunday service.
The Good Shepherd is one single Church with two congregations. Until the 1990's, all of our services were held in
English; services in Spanish for a Spanish- speaking congregation were started around that time at the Cathedral.

The Anglican Episcopal Cathedral of The Good Shepherd-Peru
Church Profile
July 19, 2016
As of 2004, a Spanish-speaking ministry was officially incorporated as part of the Cathedral, with a Spanish-speaking
priest.
Members of the English-speaking congregation represent a varied mix of native English speakers from traditionally
English speaking countries, English speaking Peruvians, and English speakers from other countries, where English is
not the official language.
In addition to the mix of English speakers, the congregation is made up of a mix of long-term expatriate Peruvian
residents, people who are here for a fixed-term work assignment, and those visiting for a short period.
Finally in regards to the religious background of the congregation, ranging from life-long Anglicans or Episcopalians,
to Roman Catholic, and Pentecostal.
The average number of people attending the Sunday services in English is approximately 60, including children,
although the seating capacity of the Cathedral is approximately 200.
The Services
The Good Shepherd holds services in both in English and Spanish.
Regular services include:
• Eucharist, Wednesday mornings in English
• Eucharist, Sunday 8 a.m. in English
• Eucharist and Family Eucharist, Sunday 10 a.m. in English, with music
• Eucharist, Sunday 11:30 a.m. in Spanish, with music
Special services include:
• Remembrance Day Service
• Blessing of Pets and Animals on St. Francis of Assisi Day
• Christmas Carol Service, in English
• Christingle Service, in English
• Joint bilingual Eucharist services on special occasions
Other activities connected with the services include:
• Sunday 9 a.m. adult forum, in English
• Sunday School for children, along with the Sunday 10 a.m. Eucharist service, in English
The Sunday 10 a.m. Eucharist service is followed by a time of fellowship at the Cathedral Hall, with cake and coffee or
tea. This is a special time for sharing and welcoming our meeting our visitors. We also have a small lending library of
Christian books available during that time for the congregation, and we have regular Bible study groups.
The Good Shepherd is ecumenical, and has offered its facilities for other denominations to worship, such as the
Guadalupanos, the Swedish Lutheran Church, the Finnish Lutheran Church, the Russian Orthodox Church. The Good
Shepherd has hosted and organized several World Day of Prayer services that have brought together members of many
Christian denominations, as well as members of other confessions of faith. Finally, the Cathedral has opened its doors to
Goshen College, a Christian Liberal Arts College in Indiana, U.S.A., to provide overseas Christian training to its
students.
The Good Shepherd keeps an important connection with the English speaking community and the wider international
community of Peru, by means of special services that are held over the year, such as the aforementioned special
services, and other civic services to commemorate significant international events, as well as special social outreach
activities with the British schools of Lima.
Our Association
The Anglican Episcopal Cathedral of the Good Shepherd-Peru has been legally established, as a non-profit Civil
Association with its own statutes, and a significant portion of the congregation are members of the Association.
The Association holds an annual general meeting and extraordinary meetings as required.

The Anglican Episcopal Cathedral of The Good Shepherd-Peru
Church Profile
July 19, 2016
The Cathedral Council, which governs the Association, consists of representatives elected by the members of the
Association and the Dean and clergy who are appointed by the Diocesan Bishop.
With the inclusion of the Spanish-speaking congregation and clergy, as of 2005, all monthly Cathedral Council
meetings and annual general meeting as well as any special meetings and are held in Spanish. In addition, the English
and Spanish congregations hold their own meetings that are relevant to their own congregations.
Our Staff
The current staff of The Good Shepherd includes:
• The Dean, who is in charge of the entire Cathedral, and currently leads the Spanish-speaking congregation
• The Rector for the English-speaking congregation
• Two assistant Priests for the Spanish-speaking congregation
• Two Lay Ministers for the English-speaking congregation
• Two part-time secretaries
• One social worker
• Three full-time doorkeepers/workers
• One part-time doorkeeper/worker
• One volunteer organist and choirmaster for the English-speaking congregation
A strength of our congregation is the participation of our parishioners in the various church services duties and
activities, as well as in many of our community outreach activities. A distinct characteristic of our congregation is the
diversity of our backgrounds that can bring about very different views about our church life.
III. Our Community
One primary way we reach out to our community is by means of our ministries, as our overall aim is to reflect our
Lord's attitude of caring for the various needs of our congregation and the larger community. Our ministries include:
1) The Anglican Women's Association (AMA), which meets every other Thursday morning.
2) Music: Our organist, an experienced choirmaster, prepares a choir of 10 – 12 people, who rehearse twice a year to
sing at the Christmas Carol Service and the Easter Eucharist. A smaller group of 3 - 4 people sings at the Sunday
service at 10 a.m.
3) Alpha: The Good Shepherd encourages the use of Alpha courses, including the Marriage Course.
4) Social work: The Good Shepherd has a Social Work Committee that supervises our social work outreach. We have a
trained social worker, which is hired on a part-time basis, and provides support to people in need with follow- up visits
carried out during the week.
The Social Work Committee also runs a bursary program that mainly supports college and university students with
financial difficulties, and administers funds from abroad for a few individuals who are supported on a long-time basis.
A special collection is gathered every Sunday service to contribute to our Social Work outreach.
5) Prison Ministry: This ministry, sponsored by the church, has been an initiative by a long-standing member of the
Good Shepherd's Spanish-speaking congregation. It reaches out to inmates at the various women’s prisons in Lima.
6) Christmas “Shoe-Box” Project: This project is organized along with one of the International Schools located near
The Good Shepherd. Approximately 300 needy children from different parts of Peru are presented with a Christmas gift
in a shoebox, prepared by the school students. It is also an evangelistic project, as an evangelistic coloring book is
provided for each child.
7) Animal Welfare Association “Vida Digna”: The Good Shepherd gives moral support, publicity and donations from
the congregation to the animal welfare association “Vida Digna” in its animal health and education programs in Lima's
poorest areas.

8) Other Ministries: The Good Shepherd is also ready to help when specific needs arise in the greater community. For
example, painting a church, or providing blankets/ clothing in emergency situations in other provinces of Peru, such as
severe climate conditions or earthquakes.
Other Links to the Community: The Good Shepherd hosts a number of groups which use the church facilities, such as
Alcoholics Anonymous (both in English and Spanish), a Scottish Dancing group, and The Good Companions, the
English speaking amateur drama company that was founded in the Good Shepherd 60 years ago.
The Christmas Bazaar and two book sales that are held every year have also made the Cathedral a hub that brings
together English speakers from all over the city of Lima and from elsewhere in Peru. These events provide a significant
portion of our yearly income, and are ideal outreach opportunities.
Our Cathedral is also highly regarded as a venue for weddings in the wider Protestant Community of Lima. Weddings
represent the second largest single portion of our yearly income.
Recently, The Good Shepherd opened its doors to host the classical music concert seasons that are annually sponsored
by the Municipality of Miraflores, thus contributing to the local community’s cultural life, and enhancing our
relationship with the municipal authorities.
IV. Our Facilities
The Good Shepherd Cathedral complex includes the following buildings:
The Cathedral Building: The Good Shepherd has recently refurbished the pews, woodwork, stained-glass windows,
floors, and roof beams, of the Cathedral and the interior has been totally repainted.
Some of our stained-glass windows are over 100 years old, and were donated by some of the most prominent families in
the English-speaking community of Lima at the time. Other stained-glass windows are from more recent times, such as
the windows in the baptistery that were made in 1960 by Adolfo Winternitz, a well-known Austrian artist who migrated
to Peru in 1939.
The Warriors' Chapel within the Cathedral building holds bronze plaques to honor the former members of the
congregation who were killed during World War I. Both stained-glass windows in this Chapel hold the names of those
who were killed during World War II. The Royal British Legion donated the altar and the stained-glass windows, and a
Royal British Legion Member donated the Statue of Saint Michael the Warrior. The Memorial for the Legion's Fallen is
on the outside of the Chapel.
Our Rectory
The rectory is a very comfortable, older, spacious two story home with a garage, a study, a living room, a dining room,
a large kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a family room, 2 bathrooms, a guest bedroom with its own bathroom, a housekeeper's
bedroom and bathroom, and a very well cared for private garden. It connects to the Cathedral Office through a door in
the second floor.
The Church Office, the Facilities for the Workers, and the Restrooms
Their main entrance is through the building complex's side door. The Office adjacent to the Rectory is located on the
second floor. It has a reception area, the Dean's office, the Rector's office, and another small office and a bathroom. The
facilities for the workers and 2 restrooms for the congregation are located on the first floor.
The Cathedral Hall Complex
• The Cathedral Hall, with its own kitchen and pantry, and a stage, with a capacity for 200 people.
• The Basement: an area used as a storeroom.
• The Social Worker's office and a small meeting room, with its own bathroom, are located on the first floor.
• The Sunday school room, a small library, and the youth room, are located on the second floor.
We have recently refurbished all of our buildings, and they are in generally good condition.

OUR WIDER CONTEXT
I. The Diocese and the Local Mission Context
The Anglican Diocese of Peru was established in 1977, and became part of the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone
(Provincia Anglicana del Cono Sur de América) in 1981. The Province renamed The Anglican Church of South
America (Iglesia Anglicana de Sudamérica) in 2014, currently comprises the Dioceses of: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile,
Northern Argentina, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Whilst the Diocese of Peru has autonomy in most matters, there are
some matters in which the Provincial decision is binding, for instance, although there are many women deacons in the
Dioceses which form the Province, only in a few specific authorized cases have they been priested (e.g. Uruguay).
The Anglican Episcopal Cathedral of The Good Shepherd – Peru, as “mother church” to other Anglican missions, was
appointed the Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Peru in 1992.
At present, there are about 40 churches and missions in the Diocese, with a total of about 1,500 members nationwide,
the great majority in Lima and Arequipa.
The Diocese's Structure and Role
The Diocese's head is the Diocesan Bishop, currently the Right Reverend Jorge Luis Aguilar Ocampo, but since 2016
the Diocese has been working under an Episcopal Area system.
Each of the four Episcopal Areas is headed by an Episcopal Vicar, who in some cases is an Assistant Bishop and in
other cases is a priest. Limited autonomy is given to each area, with other decisions being taken on a collegiate basis by
the Bishops/Episcopal Vicars. Currently these areas are: Lima /Ica (of which the Cathedral is part) on the central coast;
Arequipa in the southern mountain and coastal areas; Huancayo in the central mountain area; and Chiclayo, on the
northern coastal area and mountains. Each Area has a Synod; there is also a Diocesan Synod.
The Diocese's Mission Plan and Goals
Its current Mission Plan involves the following:
1. Consolidating the Episcopal Areas, at both pastoral and administrative levels.
2. Providing ongoing training for clergy, in conjunction with the Province.
3. Encouraging Christian discipleship for all laity in our churches and missions, by means of the “Vida Cristiana
y Formación” (“Christian Life and Formation”) Program.
4. Re-vitalizing AMA (“Asociación de Mujeres Anglicanas” - “The Anglican Women's Association”) at a
Diocesan level.
5. Establishing a bilingual (English-Spanish) school in Arequipa, to target the upper classes, and to attract
volunteer missionary teachers.
The Diocese's relationships with other Dioceses, both locally and abroad (Partner Dioceses)
Even though its dependency on cooperation from Anglican/Episcopal communities outside Latin America is gradually
decreasing, the Anglican Diocese of Peru is currently being blessed by support from four Partner Dioceses:
- Worcester (United Kingdom)
- Albany (New York, United States)
- Florida (Florida, United States)
- Springfield (Illinois, United States)
Support for our Diocese, from partner Dioceses or other sources, is varied, and includes such initiatives as:
1. Ministry volunteer teams coming to carry out practical support e.g. building projects or refurbishing properties
2. Bible-based training events
3. Medical campaigns and training events (with a Christian focus)
4. Training in administrative skills with a focus on church administration
5. Financial support:
a. Purchasing property and vehicles for specific ministries (e.g. the property and bus for the San José
Children's Home in Arequipa);
b. Funding of specific ministries;
c. Support to the general Diocesan fund
7
The Anglican Episcopal Cathedral of The Good Shepherd-Peru
Church Profile
July 19, 2016
Such support is carefully recorded in written reports, which are sent to those who provide it with the aim of thanking
them and encouraging them to continue this support.
The Diocese's Associations
The Anglican Diocese of Peru is both a Church and a non- profit Civil Association. The Diocesan Bishop is the head of
both. The Association, which is a legal entity, is governed by statutes, as required by Peruvian legislation; and the
Anglican Church of Peru is governed by its canons, which are soon to be completely revised and presented to the
Province for their approval.
The Diocese's Current Ministries
Currently, the Diocese has the following ministries:
1. MJA, “Ministerio Juvenil Anglicano” (Anglican Youth Ministry), headed by a full-time Peruvian worker and a
missionary;
2. AMA, “Asociación de Mujeres Anglicanos” (Anglican Women´s Association), affiliated with the Mothers´
Union.
In order to manage other ministries more effectively, the Anglican Diocese of Peru has also established two NGOs,
legally independent of the Diocese:
1.
The Diocese of Peru has always shown concern for the whole person, and since its beginnings has provided
workshops and other forms of social outreach. “Comunión Perú” is the NGO that is the legal entity
overseeing all Social Work programs in the Diocese. Such programs include:
a. The “Arpilleras” Ministry, set up and coordinated by someone from the Good Shepherd and now run
in conjunction with the NGO Threads of Hope (textiles), in which women from an Anglican mission
in a lower-income area of Lima produce detailed hand-appliquéd and embroidered textile pictures for
sale in Peru and overseas.
b. The Medical Ministry, in conjunction with Health Bridges International.
c. Prison Ministry, set up by a parishioner the Good Shepherd over 30 years ago, and provides outreach
and support at women´s prison in Lima.
d. The “Shalom” Ministry that provides rehabilitation and care for children and young people with
disabilities.
e. Partnership work with the “Compassion International” Ministry; one of their projects is based
between 2 Anglican missions in Lima.
f. Participation in ECLOF-Perú (a member of the Ecumenical Church Loan.
g. Fund – ECLOF International), including participation on the Board of Directors.
h. Casa Hogar “San José” (Saint Joseph´s Children´s home) in Arequipa.
2.
“CONEAN” (Consorcio Educativo Anglicano – Anglican Educational Consortium) is the NGO, which is the
legal entity that manages the Anglican Diocese of Peru's 4 schools nationwide, 3 in Lima and one in Arequipa.
These schools are now self-sufficient, and indeed able to help Diocesan finances
II. Our Financial Position
Through careful budgeting, prudent management of our expenditures, and steady sources of income, The Good
Shepherd’s financial situation has been slowly improving over the years. However, given the age and size of the
Church’s facilities, unexpected repair work is often required which places a strain on the Church’s finances.
The main sources of income are collections and pledges from the English-speaking congregation, the fees paid for the
use of the Cathedral for weddings, rental fees from the use of our facilities, our book sales and our Christmas Bazaar.
The chart below provides a breakdown of the annual income:
