Anyone who is willing to be interviewed or who is willing to lend memorabilia of that period, please contact the Gallery [email protected] 20-473373 to arrange a suitable time. It may also be possible to arrange a social event for everyone to get together and share stories and memories at the gallery. NEW BOOK ABOUT LLANDAFF CATHEDRAL . “Llandaff Cathedral” by Pat Aithie, Nick James, John Kenyon, and Nick Lambert (Seren £25) is the first new book to be published about Llandaff Cathedral for more than a century. The authors guide us through the history, architecture, art and heritage of the cathedral from Roman times to the twenty-first century. The building and its ornamentation include almost every style in that long period as it was developed through extension, refurbishment and redevelopment. The story includes resurrection from extensive bomb damage during the Second World War and the controversial Majestas by Epstein that made the cathedral national news in the sixties. Written for the general reader, the book is lavishly illustrated with plans, line drawings, archives and contemporary photographs. The research for the book has brought to light fascinating, never before seen images from the cathedral archive and elsewhere. ST DAVID’S CATHEDRAL has launched a Restoration Appeal for £150,000 to restore the shrine of Wales' patron saint. The shrine dates back to the 12th century and was an important destination for mediaeval pilgrims, but it was destroyed during the Reformation and has remained as it is now ever since. The restoration of the Shrine will return the relics of St David to their rightful place behind the high altar in the cathedral. It will also offer visitors and pilgrims an opportunity to pray at the Shrine and to give thanks to God for the example of St David. The appeal is being co-ordinated by the Friends of St Davids Cathedral, founded 70 years ago to support the work of the Dean and Chapter of the cathedral. It is hoped that the restoration will be completed by St. David’s Day 2012.

    One Baptism, One Hope in God's Call

    A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICERS OF THE GENERAL CONVENTION Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: As your Presiding Officers we appointed the Special Commission on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion late in 2005. The Special Commission was asked to prepare the way for a consideration by the 75th General Convention of recent developments in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion with a view to maintaining the highest degree of communion possible. They have admirably discharged this very weighty task. With our deep thanks to them we commend their report to you. Here we would like to make three observations. First, though this document is a beginning point for legislative decisions—and indeed includes eleven resolutions—it is first and foremost a theological document. Its primary focus is on our understanding of our participation as members of the Anglican Communion in God’s Trinitarian life and God’s mission to which we are called. Second, the report is intended as the beginning point for a conversation that will take place in Columbus under the aegis of the Holy Spirit. That is, it is intended to start the conversation and not conclude it: the Commission has seen itself as preparing the General Convention to respond in the wisest possible ways. Again, we thank the members of the Special Commission who have been servants of this process of discernment. Third, following up on the careful work done by the Commission, the General Convention is now invited into the Windsor Process and the further unfolding of our common life together in the Anglican Communion.

    A Report on the Developments in Women's Ministry in 2018

    A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry in 2018 WATCH Women and the Church A Report on the Developments in Women’s Ministry 2018 In 2019 it will be: • 50 years since women were first licensed as Lay Readers • 25 years since women in the Church of England were first ordained priests • 5 years since legislation was passed to enable women to be appointed bishops In 2018 • The Rt Rev Sarah Mullaly was translated from the See of Crediton to become Bishop of London (May 12) and the Very Rev Viv Faull was consecrated on July 3rd, and installed as Bishop of Bristol on Oct 20th. Now 4 diocesan bishops (out of a total of 44) are women. In December 2018 it was announced that Rt Rev Libby Lane has been appointed the (diocesan) Bishop of Derby. • Women were appointed to four more suffragan sees during 2018, so at the end of 2018 12 suffragan sees were filled by women (from a total of 69 sees). • The appointment of two more women to suffragan sees in 2019 has been announced. Ordained ministry is not the only way that anyone, male or female, serves the church. Most of those who offer ministries of many kinds are not counted in any way. However, WATCH considers that it is valuable to get an overview of those who have particular responsibilities in diocese and the national church, and this year we would like to draw attention to The Church Commissioners. This group is rarely noticed publicly, but the skills and decisions of its members are vital to the funding of nearly all that the Church of England is able to do.

Please be assured that there are many people praying for this process of discernment, and we trust that you will know God’s guidance as you explore this role. The Diocese of Leicester, like every diocese in the Church of England, is in transition. Our vision is the kingdom of God and we seek to enable growth in the depth of discipleship, growth in numbers of disciples, and growth in loving service of our communities. However, the way in which we do this work is rapidly changing as we prioritise: • New communities (fresh expressions of church and church planting) • Intercultural communities (greater representation of BAME people) • Intergenerational communities (schools, churches and households) • Eco-communities (eco-diocese status and net zero emissions by 2030) • Reconciling communities (‘living well together’ in church and society across our many divides) These changes require not only considerable flexibility and adaptability from clergy and lay ministers but also great resilience. This is why we also place a strong emphasis on wellbeing – seeing this as a partnership where you take responsibility for your own wellbeing, while knowing that there is always support available from bishops and diocesan staff. Additional support is also offered by our partner organisations such as Launde Abbey (retreat centre), St Philip’s (interfaith centre), Community of the Tree of Life (residential and dispersed community for young adults) and of course the Cathedral.

    RAILWAY AND CANAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY EARLY RAILWAY GROUP Occasional Paper 251 BENJAMIN HALL’S TRAMROADS AND THE PROMOTION OF CHAPMAN’S LOCOMOTIVE PATENT Stephen Rowson, with comment from Andy Guy Stephen Rowson writes - Some year ago I had access to some correspondence originally in the Llanover Estate papers and made this note from within a letter by Benjamin Hall to his agent John Llewellin, dated 7 March 1815: Chapman the Engineer called on me today. He says one of their Engines will cost about £400 & 30 G[uinea]s per year for his Patent. He gave a bad account of the Collieries at Newcastle, that they do not clear 5 per cent. My original thoughts were of Chapman looking for business by hawking a working model of his locomotive around the tramroads of south Wales until I realised that Hall wrote the letter from London. So one assumes the meeting with William Chapman had taken place in the city rather than at Hall’s residence in Monmouthshire. No evidence has been found that any locomotive ran on Hall’s Road until many years later after it had been converted from a horse-reliant tramroad. Did any of Chapman’s locomotives work on south Wales’ tramroads? __________________________________ Andy Guy comments – This is a most interesting discovery which raises a number of issues. In 1801, Benjamin Hall, M.P. (1778-1817) married Charlotte, daughter of the owner of Cyfarthfa ironworks, Richard Crawshay, and was to gain very considerable industrial interests from his father- in-law.1 Hall’s agent, John Llewellin, is now better known now for his association with the Trevithick design for the Tram Engine, the earliest surviving image of a railway locomotive.2 1 Benjamin Hall was the son of Dr Benjamin Hall (1742–1825) Chancellor of the diocese of Llandaff, and father of Sir Benjamin Hall (1802-1867), industrialist and politician, supposedly the origin of the nickname ‘Big Ben’ for Parliament’s clock tower (his father was known as ‘Slender Ben’ in Westminster).

  • Church in Wales Review July 2012

    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.

    Mission and Ministry Training Opportunities 2017-2018

    MISSION AND MINISTRY TRAINING PPORTUNITIES O 2017-2018 Dear Colleague, I am delighted to send you the CMD programme for 2017-2018. We have tried to respond to needs identified in MDR summaries. There are a wide variety of events on offer. Towards the end of the brochure there are also some events organised by other organisations that may be of interest to you. There will be one or two more events arranged as the year progresses and we will email you about these in due course. However, I encourage you to take a look at what is on offer here and book up. Attending a training event such as these can give us new perspectives, as well as the opportunity to share our experience with others. Of course it comes at a cost; our work does not go away while we are out of the Mission Community. It is our responsibility to feed ourselves though. Taking time out to do so can give us new energy as well as new skills and perspectives. It is part of the task of ministry. I encourage you to take a look and book some training now. Inevitably some events will be oversubscribed. If the system does not allow you to book, please contact Cathy Scoffield [email protected] to be added to a waiting list. The easiest way to book is to follow the instructions below and book online. You will receive a confirmation that we have received your booking and 7 – 10 days before an event you should receive joining instructions.
