Saint David Lewis, known as Tad y Tlodion – Father of the Poor – was martyred in Usk 338 years ago on 27th August …just for being a Catholic priest at a time when there were false rumours of a Catholic plot to assassinate King Charles II. To commemorate his Martyrdom pilgrims walked the route from St David Lewis and St Francis Xavier Church, in Usk, to the site of his execution and then to pay tribute to his memory at his grave in the town. Led by Father Bernard Sixtus, the pilgrims prayed the Rosary on the route through through Usk. Together with John Wall, John Kemble (see pages 4/5) and 37 other Martyrs, David Lewis was canonised by Pope Park VI in 1970 – the 40 Martyrs of England and Wales.

He founded around 10 monasteries and was known for his simple way of life and asceticism; he taught his followers to refrain from eating meat and drinking anything but water. The miracle most commonly associated with St David is said to have taken place whilst he was preaching to a large crowd at the Synod of Brefi. It is said that the ground on which he was stood rose up to form a small hill, in order for everyone to see him. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! Prayer: God, on this day, we remember Saint David, your servant. Grant that we may learn from him and respond to the words that are thought to be his last: ‘Be steadfast, and do the little things’. Amen. Reflection: "Brothers and sisters, be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed, and do the little things that you have seen me do and heard about." DUKE OF EDINBURGH Mr Maher met HRH The Earl of Wessex last week as part of a campaign to generate support for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) Charity.

It was established under the Local Democracy (Wales) Act 2013 with the main purpose of publishing a programme of work which keeps under review the electoral arrangements for the 22 principal councils. The Commission makes electoral review recommendations, which it feels are in the interest of effective and convenient local government. This review has been conducted as a result of the former Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government’s Written Statement of 23 June 2016 as part of an all Wales review programme for the 2022 local government elections. © Crown copyright and database rights [2020] OS [100047875] Summary of our Recommendations: The Commission recommends a council of 69 members, a reduction from the present 73 members. The Commission recommends a change to the arrangement of electoral wards that will achieve a marked improvement in the level of electoral parity across the County Borough of Caerphilly. The Commission recommends 30 electoral wards, a reduction from 33 existing wards. The largest under-representation is recommended to be 24% above the proposed county average in Aberbargoed and Bargoed. The largest over-representation is recommended to be 20% below the proposed county average in Aber Valley. The Commission is recommending 25 multi-member wards consisting of 12 two- member electoral wards; 12 three-member electoral wards; and one four-member electoral ward.

  • Church in Wales Review July 2012
    Church in Wales Review July 2012 The September 2010 meeting of the Governing Body was notable for the number of contributions from members with a common message: “The Church in Wales cannot go on doing the same things in the same way; some things need to change and we are open to – and indeed encourage – that possibility”. The Standing Committee and Bench of Bishops responded to this call by appointing an external review of the Church, with particular reference to its structures and use of resources, to increase the effectiveness of the Church’s ministry and witness. The Review Group’s members are prominent thinkers with a blend of experience in dealing with matters ecclesiastical and organisational: Lord Harries of Pentregarth, the former Bishop of Oxford; Professor Charles Handy, the eminent writer and adviser on business and organisational theory (and son of a Church of Ireland archdeacon); and Professor Patricia Peattie, former Convenor of the Scottish Episcopal Church’s Standing Committee and the first chairwoman of the Lothian University Hospitals NHS Trust. The aim was to commission a review that could move quickly to gather and assimilate information about the state of the Church in Wales, then provide independent advice on how the Church might reshape itself to be more effective in the twenty-first century. Given the extent of its members’ other commitments, the Review Group has pursued its task with extraordinary vigour and dedication. The Group determined its own approach and programme. It has visited every diocese in Wales, meeting with the Bishop and Diocesan team in each and holding an open meeting for Church members to express their views.

Contemplating watching the crowds that have got inside, while we can do nothing, can be unnerving. Complacency can leave us in this situation: today the Lord warns all who listen to him to be careful, taking nothing for granted, but making sure that we are (spiritually at least) like the people waiting with their sleeping bags and thermos flasks by the front door of the ticket office.

  • Welsh Disestablishment: 'A Blessing in Disguise'
    Welsh disestablishment: ‘A blessing in disguise’. David W. Jones The history of the protracted campaign to achieve Welsh disestablishment was to be characterised by a litany of broken pledges and frustrated attempts. It was also an exemplar of the ‘democratic deficit’ which has haunted Welsh politics. As Sir Henry Lewis1 declared in 1914: ‘The demand for disestablishment is a symptom of the times. It is the democracy that asks for it, not the Nonconformists. The demand is national, not denominational’.2 The Welsh Church Act in 1914 represented the outcome of the final, desperate scramble to cross the legislative line, oozing political compromise and equivocation in its wake. Even then, it would not have taken place without the fortuitous occurrence of constitutional change created by the Parliament Act 1911. This removed the obstacle of veto by the House of Lords, but still allowed for statutory delay. Lord Rosebery, the prime minister, had warned a Liberal meeting in Cardiff in 1895 that the Welsh demand for disestablishment faced a harsh democratic reality, in that: ‘it is hard for the representatives of the other 37 millions of population which are comprised in the United Kingdom to give first and the foremost place to a measure which affects only a million and a half’.3 But in case his audience were insufficiently disheartened by his homily, he added that there was: ‘another and more permanent barrier which opposes itself to your wishes in respect to Welsh Disestablishment’, being the intransigence of the House of Lords.4 The legislative delay which the Lords could invoke meant that the Welsh Church Bill was introduced to parliament on 23 April 1912, but it was not to be enacted until 18 September 1914.
