Life beyond Hanfod yr Eglwys yw ymwneud â’r bywyd death. Fullness of life. Fellowship with God tragwyddol. Bywyd y tu hwnt i farwolaeth. allows us to transcend boundaries. The life we Bywyd yn ei Gyflawnder. Mae cymdeithas gyda lead here is not all that there is, but through Duw yn ein galluogi i drosgynnu ffiniau. Nid which we may walk with Jesus beyond death y bywyd rydym yn ei fyw yma yw’r cyfan sy’n into a new life. But eternal life is in this life as bod, dim ond rhoi modd i ni gerdded gydag well, as we are invited to Iesu y tu hwnt i farwolaeth know a fullness of life, i fywyd newydd.

Faith is a lifelong journey, Gan hynny, mae’r ffydd in which we’re invited to grow, Gristnogol yn ymwneud â dod and in which God nourishes us o hyd i fywyd tragwyddol fel through the Church in Word and disgyblion Crist.

  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

  • Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking
    Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking A guide for the Church Community By Alison Ussery, Haven of Light - Foreword from the Bishop of St Asaph - Introduction - Definitions & Facts : Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking : Human Trafficking & People Smuggling : The World Today : The Situation in the UK - Signs & Indicators - A Biblical Perspective - International Action - Practical suggestions of what we can do Foreword from the Bishop of St Asaph Slavery is the sort of word that brings ancient times, or nineteenth century colonialism to mind. We don’t associate it with north Wales in our own society and times. And yet, that is the ugly reality which has been uncovered. In 2019, the Governing Body of the Church in Wales recognised that human trafficking and modern slavery were crimes against humanity, and committed us to exploring every opportunity to play our part in working to combat modern slavery, its prevention, detection, and in offering support for its victims. Ali Ussery, who works with north Wales based Haven of Light to combat modern slavery, has been working with the diocese to help us to understand this contemporary injustice, and to respond at a practical level. This booklet is essential reading and a call for action, and I commend it to you. Bishop Gregory Cameron Definitions & Facts Throughout the world today there are over 40 million men, women and children who have lost their freedom as human beings and are being bought and sold as commodities. The terms ‘modern slavery’ and ‘human trafficking’ are used to describe this serious and growing global crime where criminals are taking advantage of vulnerable people to make a profit, with no care for their wellbeing.

  • 1 Communion and Autonomy in Anglicanism
    COMMUNION AND AUTONOMY IN ANGLICANISM: NATURE AND MAINTENANCE Norman Doe A Paper for the Eames Commission1 1. This paper explores the nature of and relationship between communion and autonomy, namely: (a) global theological and conventional understandings about communion and autonomy in the worldwide Anglican Communion, as expressed in the decisions of the institutional instruments of Anglican unity;2 and in public responses3 to events in ECUSA and Canada;4 (b) the canonical treatment of communion and autonomy in the laws of the individual Anglican churches, in the context of the principles of canon law common to the churches of the Communion; (c) where appropriate, the understanding of communion and autonomy in ecumenical dialogue between Anglicans and others, and in other Christian traditions themselves. One aim of the study is to identify a fundamental dissonance between theological and canonical understandings of worldwide communion and provincial autonomy; that is, how the disciplines of communion and autonomy at the global level have not been translated into the discipline of each Anglican church or province, and how this has contributed to current conflict.5 2. The paper suggests some ideas, which might be considered for possible incorporation into the domestic discipline of individual churches, for the maintenance and management of both communion and autonomy, the prevention of conflict, the resolution of conflict and the management of continuing conflict, and the monitoring of schemes for these. It is necessary for each church:

The majority of the service was organised by one of the young people, Vikki Jackson. Mary Humphries The Real Easter Egg: Putting Jesus back into Easter Out of the 80 million chocolate Easter Eggs sold each year, not one of them mentions Jesus on the box. Until now that is. The Real Easter Egg is the first and only Fairtrade chocolate Easter Egg to explain the Christian understanding of Easter on the box. It also supports charity and development projects - buying everything from medical equipment for new mums here at home, to chickens and securing fresh water for farmers in Africa. They are £4.50 each. Some supermarkets have agreed to sell them and they are available from Bishopstow (01633 263510) and The Tithe Barn, Abergavenny (01873 858787). Bishop Dominic will be taking some around with him during his Lent talks. www.realeasteregg.co.uk diocesan website: www.monmouthdiocese.org.uk A New Visiting Team at Goetre When the Revd Dr Stephen James arrived at St Peter’s, Goetre, he soon realised that he wasn’t going to be able to visit people as frequently as he wanted to in the time he had available. Forming a team of visitors was therefore a priority, which was included in the parish’s Mission Action Plan. Several people in the parish were identified as potential visitors, and offered to help and be trained.
