  • The Benefice of Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg
    Benefice Profile for Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg The Church in Wales Yr Eglwys yng Nghymru The Diocese of Monmouth The Benefice of Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg Benefice Profile December 2019 1 Benefice Profile for Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg From the Archdeacon of the Gwent Valleys The Venerable Sue Pinnington Thank you for taking the time to look at this profile for the post of Team Rector (Ministry Area Leader designate) of Tredegar, Rhymney and Abertysswg. This new benefice (Ministry Area) offers an exciting opportunity to develop collaborative ministry and mission. The parishes are growing closer together, realising the benefits of sharing resources, skills and the desire to grow spiritually and numerically. They would like to extend their existing mission and should the Diocesan Bid to the Church in Wales Evangelism Fund be successful, more financial support for mission will be heading to the Valleys. The Benefice has an excellent NSM Associate Minister in Elizabeth Jones and lay ministers, who are very much looking forward to working in the newly created team. The Diocese had committed to funding a 0.5 fte post of Team Vicar to serve the whole benefice, but to live in the parsonage at Rhymney. We expect the new Team Rector (TR) to take a full part in this appointment and we hope to advertise swiftly following the TR’s licensing. However, this post is not without its challenges. These are the same challenges faced by the whole of the Archdeaconry, which covers the eastern post-industrial valleys of South Wales. All our communities face issues relating to poverty and deprivation, but we work hard together to address and tackle these issues.
