The Episcopal Church of Bangor in Caernarvon September 9, 2018 The Episcopal Church of Bangor in Caernarvon Founded in 1722 2099 Main Street Churchtown, Narvon, Pennsylvania 17555 The Rt. Reverend Audrey Scanlan, Bishop The Reverend Canon Mark A. Scheneman Priest in Charge Historic Bangor Episcopal Church, the mother church of the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, seeks to be a community in Christ Jesus celebrating our heritage, vibrant in our worship, and engaged in ministry and mission as we approach the 300th anniversary of our founding. This Sunday at Bangor Church September 9, 2018 The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost 10:00 AM Holy Eucharist, (Church) 11:10 AM Fellowship Hour (Church House) 11:15 AM Vestry meeting (Common Room) In the Gospel reading appointed for this Sunday, Jesus and his disciples travel outside of the Galilee, into pagan territory. Yet in these Gentile regions, people come to him seeking healing and health. A Gentile woman pleads for her daughter and a deaf man is brought to him, begging to have his hearing restored. Even though they are Gentiles, Jesus heals them, praying in his native Aramaic language, “Ephaphatha”- ‘Be opened’. Please join us following the service for our fellowship hour in the Church House. The Vestry will also be meeting in the Common Room. From Fr. Mark: Our Welsh Heritage As I talk to people about the history of Bangor Church, I find that many are confused, or even surprised to learn that our church was founded by people from Wales. Some don’t even know where Wales is located. Others don’t understand that the native Welsh language is a Celtic language (like the Irish Gaelic) and is still spoken throughout the Welsh regions in the United Kingdom. Many are surprised to learn that there are more people with Welsh ancestry living in Pennsylvania than in any other state. Indeed, at the height of the Welsh immigration in 1700, about 1/3 of the population of William Penn’s colony were Welsh. Penn had encouraged Welsh Quakers from the Midlands of England and from Wales to the west of Great Britain to emigrate to Pennsylvania, promising them some autonomy in a region west of Philadelphia, known as the “Welsh Barony.” There, they could organize local government as defined by Quaker Meetings and use the Welsh language. That area is now commonly referred to as the “Main Line.” The place name of towns along the Main Line bear witness to the Welsh heritage, with names that include Bala Cynwyd, Gladwyne, Montgomery, St. David’s, Radnor, Tredyffin, and Ulhcan. The name Cumru is Welsh for Wales. A group of Welsh who were members of the Church of England also followed their countryman to William Penn’s Welsh Barony in the last years of the 1600s. They founded St. David’s Church in Radnor. Then in 1722, several families from St. David’s, seeking more open land, moved further west, out on the ridge over which Rt 23 now runs from Valley Forge to Lancaster City. They founded a new Anglican congregation that was soon named after the great cathedral church of northern Wales, Bangor. The official name of the Welsh Cathedral is the Cathedral Church of St. Deiniol, but commonly called Bangor Cathedral. St. Deiniol (a Welsh variation of the name, Daniel), the founder of the settlement at Bangor, organized a Celtic monastery on the site that later became Bangor Cathedral. The Welsh word “bangor” means “waddle.” A waddle is a construction of walls consisting of upright posts driven into the ground, with horizontal sapling branches woven between the posts, and sometimes plastered with a mixture of clay and mud to form a hardened surface. The region we now refer to as “Churchtown” was known in the early years as “Conestogue” after the river. But soon, it acquired the name “Bangor Churchtown.” In fact, the church owned most of the land that now comprises Churchtown. The surrounding township (as well as the neighboring township in Berks County) was given the name “Caernarvon” after Caernarfon Castle, located just miles west of Bangor Wales. It is at Caernarfon Castle that the first son of the British Monarch is invested with the title, “Prince of Wales.” Our postal designation of “Narvon” was taken from the end of “Caernarvon” (maybe someone thought it would be easier to say “Narvon”, than “Caernarvon?”) Over the years, much of our Welsh heritage was largely forgotten, as the Lancaster region became home to a huge wave of immigrants from the German regions of Central Europe. The names of many of the original Welsh founders have been etched into facing stones on the walls of Bangor Church where they can still be read. But after several decades, the use of the Welsh language (originally the readings in the liturgy were read from a Welsh Bible) ceased. The service was entirely in English and most could no longer speak in Welsh. Some time later, our church acquired the “St. Deiniol Altar,” now in the Church House Common Room. And not that long ago, a friend of the congregation donated a Welsh flag that is displayed on the western wall of the nave. As you enter the church, notice the wooden, ornamental corbel that once was an element in Bangor Cathedral. This will be the third year on St. Deiniol’s Day that we will attempt to sing in Welsh the Welsh National Anthem, “Land of My Father” (‘Hen Wlad fy Nhadau’). It is a very challenging language because like other Celtic languages, it isn’t written exactly how it is pronounced. And all those consonants!! The Welsh have a grand tradition of hymn singing. I hope to have a Welsh singing choir visit us in 2022 when we will celebrate our 300th anniversary. But for now, let’s give thanks for those who started the first Christian congregation in what is now Lancaster County; our church was also the first congregation is what is now the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania. As the first church, we can proudly claim the title, “Mother Church” of the diocese. So, wear some green and red (Welsh colors), maybe try some traditional Welsh foods, and get ready to sing the old language next Tuesday. Many silent voices will be joining us from the Churchyard and in the Communion of Saints. We have such a very special heritage!

Located within the developing science of cathedral studies, this paper analyses the demographic profile, motivational intention (drawing on religious orientation theory) and perceived impact on spiritual wellbeing (drawing on Fisher’s four dimensional model) among 564 participants who completed a detailed survey at the service held in 2019. The data demonstrated a mix of ages, a sense of Anglican commitment to this form of event-belonging by those who return year-on-year and invite friends to join them, and a perceived beneficial impact on all four dimensions of spiritual wellbeing. Keywords: cathedral studies; Christmas; spiritual wellbeing; ways of belonging; religious orientation theory 1.

  • Bangor Cathedral's Website
    Bangor Cathedral’s Website: http://bangor.churchinwales.org.uk/cathedral/ Bangor Cathedral; 15th July – 22th July 2015. Capacity: 9 campers. Bangor Cathedral, situated on the south side of the Menia Straits which separates the isle of Anglesey from the mainland of north Wales, was founded in 525AD and has been a Cathedral since 546AD, making it the oldest Cathedral in the United Kingdom in continuous use. It is one of the earliest monastic settlements in all of the UK. Bangor Cathedral hosted its first CSV Heritage Camp in 2012, and this is now a firm favourite in their summer programme. • The local area Overlooked by the 324 foot Bangor Mountain, Bangor is one of the smallest cities in the United Kingdom. It is situated in a region of outstanding natural beauty where the Snowdonia Mountains reach the sea. Bangor is fortunate to have its own Victorian Pier, which opened in 1896. The beautiful Victorian pier is the second longest in Wales at 1,500 feet and offers a stunning view across the Menai Straits to the picturesque island of Anglesey. Bangor is a thriving university city with a student population of 14,000, which makes for a lively atmosphere with good bookshops, reasonably priced restaurants and a theatre. Another claim to fame is that Bangor has the longest High Street in Wales. It is the region's main cultural and shopping centre, and the city centre has two modern shopping centres, plus a mix of national chain stores and smaller shops. • What is involved on the Bangor Cathedral Camp? Volunteers will be involved in a variety of jobs including cleaning, painting, decoration, polishing and making an inventory of Cathedral Vestments and silver.

  • North Wales and Anglesey Part 1
    North Wales and Anglesey Part 1 Snowdonia viewed from Plas Newydd, Anglesey, across the Menai Strait. Despite being a 'Jones', I know less about the 'land of my fathers' than I really should. It could well be the country's (deserved!) reputation for excessive rainfall that has kept me away in the past - such prejudice has denied me the delights of what is undoubtedly amongst of the most beautiful scenery in the UK. We hired a cottage for a week in the village of Abergwyngregyn, just off the A55 North Wales Expressway between Bangor and Conwy. The cottage has been beautifully restored, though alas for me that did not include raising the ceiling beams, with which my head frequently collided. Consequently the first three days of our stay were punctuated with some most 'un-Christian' language! Plas Newydd Our first excursion was the National Trust property of Plas Newydd in Anglesey, a beautiful country property set in extensive grounds on the Menai Strait not far from the road bridge to the mainland. It is the country seat of the 7th Marquess of Anglesey, whose family still retain rooms at the property. The first Marquess (then Lord Uxbridge) distinguished himself at Waterloo, where he led the charge of the heavy cavalry against d'Erlon's column. He was hit by one of the last cannon shots of the day. According to anecdote, he was close to Wellington when his leg was hit, and exclaimed, "By God, sir, I've lost my leg!" — to which Wellington replied, "By God, sir, so you have!" The remains of his leg were later amputated.

In a number of locations within the school, we have displays of Headmaster of Ygsol Friars its history and traditions which we hope to expand in the coming year. It is regrettable that CADW did not permit us to remove some of the items from the Ffriddoedd building when we moved entirely onto this site. While I can understand the architectural and technical arguments against removing the stained glass window, it was deeply disappointing that the plaques at the foot of the staircase were not recognised for what they are: part of the school not part of a specific building. We would have dearly loved to have them with us in our 450th year. I was also interested to note references to perceptions of the school’s Welsh ethos that existed in some quarters in 1957 and still do to this day. While it is not always widely recognised, the modern Friars is a bilingual school. The emphasis may be more on English than in Welsh in pupils’ written work and in the examinations that they take but there is a strong Welsh element Mr Neil Foden to the school as Dominicans who attended the It is with pleasure and pride that I commend to all Pritchard Prize Evening at Theatre Gwynedd Dominicans this 450th anniversary edition of the will have seen, Welsh traditions are celebrated in Old Dominicans’ Newsletter. the school and the language is used socially and academically by a number of staff.
