Written for the inauguration of Paul Butler as Bishop of Durham, 22 February 2014. Based on the story of the mustard seed taken from Matthew, Mark, and Luke, where Jesus compares faith to the mustard seed. Like the tiny mustard seed that grows into a mighty tree, faith, too can grow into something strong and nurturing.
First performed in Durham Cathedral on 22 February 2014 by Durham Cathedral Choir, conducted by James Lancelot, with Francesca Massey (organ).
