The nearly £2m grant will fund an ambitious project intended to create a new type of church community in a former retail store in Hope Street, Wrexham, in the Diocese of St Asaph, close to St Giles’ parish church.

The project is aimed specifi cally at younger generations that have little or no experience of church life, though the provision of a Christian Centre and worship space, in partnership with the Church Revitalisation Trust. “Less than 3% of people choose to worship with us,” Bishop Gregory said. “What do we need to do? We have been trying to do what we do better. It’s not enough. We need to learn to do things diff erently, in a way that can be understood by and attractive to people outside the Church.” St Asaph Diocesan Secretary, Diane McCarthy, told members that,

The focus would be on discipleship, rather than attendance, she said. It would be a welcoming Christian community, open seven days a week. “Our objective is to create a resourced church accessible to 3,000 people, especially those under 40, who have no living relationship with the church,” she said. “It will enable children and young people to become active disciples.” Diocesan Director of Resources, Tracey White, said they had chosen Wrexham because it was a university town. Partnerships were already in place Diocesan Secretary, Diane McCarthy. with the university and the Roman Catholic High School, St Joseph’s. Other partnerships included the Finnish Diocese of Helsinki, who will help develop a confi rmation project, and the Church Army, which was establishing a virtual Centre of Mission. “We expect the project to be fi nancially sustainable in fi ve years and, by year six, we anticipate that it will have reached 375 people and planted two new churches,” she said. The Archdeacon of Wrexham, , stressed that faith in Hope Street had to be “lived out across the diocese.” “Sheep tend to get lost when they fi nd something better to do,” he said, Director of Resources, Tracey White. adding that a huge amount of work had already gone into the project. “We can choose to sink with dignity or we can choose to fl oat. We cannot choose the lost ground.” Young leaders from St Asaph Diocese contributed via a short fi lm to give their views on Hope Street. “Thanks for believing in us and investing in Hope Street,” was their message. Andrew Sims (Llandaff ) asked about the project’s attitude towards LGBT communities. Mr Lomas confi rmed that the project off ered a welcome to all. Canon Martin Snellgrove (St Asaph), Diocesan Offi cer, asked The Archdeacon of Wrexham, John Lomas. to what extent ecumenical partners were involved in the project.

Highlights - September 2019 - English.indd 16 01/10/2019 11:58:58 QUESTION TIME

1. The Revd Dean Roberts (Monmouth) The is currently searching for a new bishop. There has been considerable interest concerning the vacancy in the diocese and many clergy and laity of the Church in Wales have been moved to suggest potential candidates to the Electoral College after being encouraged to do so. However, there is a lot of confusion as to how to suggest candidates to the Electoral College, and who to suggest them to. Could there be clear guidance published for the whole Church in Wales as to how a new bishop is appointed, how suggestions can be made to Electors, and who currently sits on the Electoral College at any given time, so that the Church in Wales can improve its transparency and openness, whilst recognising that the confi dentiality of the Electoral College must also be maintained? Could guidance also be given to the Electors in how to handle suggestions given to them to ensure that names are put forward to the college to discern?

Answer - Archbishop It is a timely question as we are about to hold a meeting of the Electoral College to elect a , and also at a time when a report from a Working Group set up by the Standing Committee to review Electoral College process and which makes recommendations to the Church about that process is on the agenda for the Governing Body to debate. We are using the current process at the election next week. A full guide to that election was added to the Church in Wales website in August, accessed by the front page, which deals with such questions as: who elects the bishop, where does the election take place, who is eligible to be elected, how are candidates nominated and what actually happens during a meeting of the College. It also covers when a decision will be announced and what happens next.

Q 2. The Revd Josh Maynard (St Davids) During August the Diocese of Llandaff and the Church in Wales actively supported and promoted the Faith Tent at Pride Cymru via social media, various press releases and the presence of a number of clerics at the event. As part of the event there were three sessions of “drag queen storytime”. The drag queen in question has YouTube videos entitled “Good Christian bitches” and “the most underrated type of gay sex” as well as a number of other videos containing explicit material contrary to the Christian faith. Despite this speaker being a “third party” - the Church in Wales support for the entire event was unequivocal. Does the Church in Wales affi rm the lifestyle this speaker promotes or is the Church prepared to simply overlook the usual high moral standards expected of speakers at events it promotes?

Answer - the Bishop of Llandaff I would like to thank Josh for this question as it gives me an opportunity to express my gratitude to those involved with Cardiff Pride. For a number of years the Church in Wales has worked with other churches and other faiths to ensure a “faith presence” at Welsh national events. Regular events include the Royal Welsh Show, the National and the Urdd Eisteddfod, and these provide important opportunities for us to reach out to the people of Wales, to demonstrate God’s interest in and love for them. We are a Church that believes it has a duty to minister to the whole community, and these events enable us to do just that. Pride Cymru has become a major national event in recent years, and in that time has received the regular support of many Church in Wales members. Clergy and laity from a number of dioceses have helped to arrange the faith presence alongside partners from other faith communities, and the diocese of Llandaff gave support this year in the form of funding and publicity. We believed that this was an important act of witness in the heart of our capital city. The act that Josh mentions can be seen from images and fi lm on social media for what it is: an entertaining storytelling activity. Those present were all ticketholders for the Pride Cymru event, and there was nothing in the act that was unsuitable for the audience or particularly controversial. I am informed that the story-teller identifi es as a Christian and, despite the fact that some other parts of his act may be intended for an adult audience, I would suggest that it is not for us to judge the sincerity of his faith. I hope members will agree that the Church in Wales should continue to engage with Welsh society in its widest sense – that is our calling as Christians. If that means that sometimes we are required to take a risk or to operate very much outside our comfort zone, then we so be it. We should step out of the familiar.
