  • The General Synod of the Church of England
    382 ECCLESIASTICAL LAW JOURNAL THE GENERAL SYNOD OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND BRIAN HANSON Joint Registrar of the Province of Canterbury THIS REPORT COVERS TWO GROUPS OF SESSIONS IN JULY AND NOVEMBER 1999. The Synod met in residential session at York University in July and had a heavy programme of liturgical business in preparation for the authorisation of the new Service Book entitled Common Worship to replace the Alternative Service Book at the end of December 2000. By contrast the legislative items were fairly light. The Legislative Committee brought a report to Synod on the Churchwardens Measure and recommended its re-introduction in order that clause 9 could be withdrawn (which had caused difficulties for the Ecclesiastical Committee of Parliament) and a new clause on suspension substituted. The Synod agreed a new clause giving four grounds for suspension, namely (1) where the person has requested or consented to the suspension; (2) where the person is unable to carry out his duties by reason of absence, illness or incapacity; (3) where the person has been charged with an offence which is punishable with imprisonment or. if not so punishable, would on conviction disqualify that person from being chosen as churchwarden: and (4) where the person has been convicted of any offence which is punishable by imprisonment. The Synod also agreed a new clause requiring the House of Bishops to draw up principles of guidance for bishops exercising the power of suspension and a clause giving a right of appeal for a person who has received a notice of suspension to the Dean of the Arches and Auditor.

  • Gwasanaeth I Ddathlu 20 Mlynedd O Offeiriadaeth Gwraedd Yn Yr Eglwys Yng Nghymru
    I Gadeirlan Bangor, Ionawr 7ed 2017 11am Gwasanaeth i ddathlu 20 mlynedd o offeiriadaeth gwraedd yn yr Eglwys yng Nghymru. Rydyn ni wedi cyrraedd y fan hon. Ac mae hi wedi bod yn eitha taith! Ac mae ’na le i lawenydd a diolch on’d oes? A drws arall wedi ei agor wrth i ni baratoi i gysegru gwraig yn Esgob Tyddewi. Let us rejoice and be glad, as we pause to give thanks on this special 20th birthday of the ordination of women to the priesthood. Dyma gyfle i orffwys ac ymgryfhau, ac i ddiolch am y rhai a fu’n cynorthwyo, a fu’n ymdrechu i lusgo a gwthio hen sefydliad nad oedd yn barod i wynebu newid. Dyma gyfle fel petae i edrych ar y map, i weld man ein cychwyn a’n taith tua’r nôd. Rydw i bellach yn ddigon hen i fedru cofio pump o archesgobion, a phob un yn ei gyfnod ac yn ei ffordd ei hunan, ambell un yn reit betrus, eto wedi gwneud cyfraniad, ac i’w henwi gyda diolch a hoffder. Let’s hold in thanksgiving and love the names of five archbishops who helped us towards the goal that has been achieved: G O Williams, Alwyn Rice Jones, George Noakes, Rowan Williams, ac yn enwedig Barry Morgan. Ac rwy’n siwr eich bod yn sylwi bod pedwar ohonyn nhw â chysylltiad agos â’r esgobaeth hon. We’ve already heard some wonderful passages of scripture and I want to add to them. First a passage from Second Isaiah. He urges an exiled and despairing people not to keep looking back but to look forward Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

  • 'Wales' African Twin' by Paul Williams
    Wales’ African Twin The story of Dolen Cymru - the Wales Lesotho Link Paul Williams Author’s note It is a privilege to have been involved with Dolen Cymru – the Wales- Lesotho Link – since its inception. And it was a special privilege to have been charged with keeping the records since those very first informal meetings in 1983. I continued, as Secretary, to keep the records of the link until the Spring of 2004. I would like to record my sincere thanks to Dr Carl Clowes, who first suggested that I write this book. He has been a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. As well as writing the foreword, he has given the manuscript a thorough edit, adding fresh insights and up-dated material. I would also like to thank my wife Elizabeth for her support, proof- reading and sensible suggestions. As Secretary of the link, I have had the opportunity of working with wonderful colleagues, many of them serving on different Dolen committees and filling different posts, both in Wales and in Lesotho. They are too numerous to list here (some, but not all, appear in the text), but I would like to offer my deepest thanks and appreciation to all of them. Without their selfless and enthusiastic contribution, there would be no story to write.

Despite the important political role played by religion historically, in contrast to Scotland, FBO engagement has received very limited attention in the cases of post- devolution Wales and Northern Ireland. By conducting a comparative study of these two cases, the thesis addresses the central research question: ‘In what ways have faith-based organisations engaged with devolved political institutions at the sub-state level in the UK’.
