Amen. A reading from the book of the prophet Ezekiel. The word of the LORD came to me: So you, mortal, I have made a sentinel for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked ones, you shall surely die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from their ways, the wicked shall die in their iniquity, but their blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from their ways, and they do not turn from their ways, the wicked shall die in their iniquity, but you will have saved your life. Now you, mortal, say to the house of Israel, Thus you have said: ‘Our transgressions and our sins weigh upon us, and we waste away because of them; how then can we live?’ Say to them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from their ways and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel? Ezekiel 33.7-11 Psalm 119.33-40 - Give me understanding and I shall keep your law.

  • Christianity and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Wales 1 *
    Religion, State & Society, Vol. 27, Nos 3/4, 1999 Christianity and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Wales 1 * D. DENSIL MORGAN The Historical Background to 1914 Although the coming of Christianity to Wales predated the birth of the Welsh nation, the huge missionary thrust which created a specifically Celtic Christian civilisation in the Isle of Britain coincided with the emergence of Wales as a distinct national entity. If the birth of Wales is dated sometime during the latter part of the fifth century, the 'age of the [Celtic] saints' during which David, and a generation pre­ viously, Dyfrig and Illtud fulfilled their ministry, lasted between about 450 and 600 AD. By the beginning of the seventh century Christianity and the life of the emerging nation had become so tightly intertwined as to be virtually indistinguish­ able and for nearly a millennium and a half thereafter Welsh identity and religious affiliation were aspects of the same reality. 'Of all the associations between religion and social values in Wales the most intriguing and longest lasting has been that between religion and nationality. From the outset, the Christian religion seemed to be part of the essence of Welshness.'2 In other words being Welsh meant being Christian. Given the nature of European civilisation during the early Middle Ages such a claim is hardly unique. Wales belonged to Christendom as did many other peoples and kingdoms and as such was happy to identify itself with the faith. However, whereas the onset of modernism and later (and especially) the presuppositions of the Enlightenment threatened to sever the unity between religious affiliation and citizen­ ship, in Wales that unity was preserved.

Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1928-29 Disgrifiad / Description Mr Evan Jones who died in February 1928, bequeathed to the Library his collection of archaeological antiquities. Mr Jones made a study for many years of the folk-lore and traditions of Breconshire, and in the course of his investigations collected a large number of objects of agricultural and archaeological interest. These have now been transferred to the Library, but as no provision has been made for the proper preservation and display of antiquities in the Library, some of the more important and valuable of the objects have been placed on permanent deposit in the National Museum of Wales, where they will be carefully preserved. The collection contains circle-and-cross stones from Llangammarch; a large number of stone weights, ranging from four to forty-nine pounds, some with iron rings; stone querns; a stone mortar; a lipe-work seed-lip; a pair of wooden scales; wool combers; cow ties and other agricultural implements; a large number of coins; examples of domestic utensils; fragments of wood piles from a reputed lake dwelling at Trallwng Farm, Abergwesyn, and many other objects.

  • Father Allan Jenkins' Funeral Mass. 2
    Father Allan Jenkins’ funeral Mass. 2 February 2012. A scholar's wisdom comes of ample leisure; to be wise he must be relieved of other tasks. How can one become wise who follows the plough…. and whose talk is all about cattle? Ecclus. 38: 24/5. REB. My friends, not many of you should become teachers. St James 3:1 I will go unto the altar of God. Psalm 43: 4 When I had the privilege of preaching at Allan Jenkins’ Ruby Anniversary of priesthood only a few short years ago, I chose three texts instead of the usual one, and somehow it just seems right to do the same thing again today. But they are different texts now, and at first sight they seem to have nothing in common, but they unite beautifully in the person of the priest, teacher and scholar, who has drawn us here today by reason of his death. Fr Mark Preece has set the scene movingly in his tribute at the beginning of the service- paper, and drawn attention to the unexpected brevity of Allan’s retirement, which we all lament. It says something about character of the man who has drawn us all here today that he approached his final call with quiet acceptance and dignity. A funeral of a priest is often something of a surprise to those who are unfamiliar with the Church’s ways. It often seems that the rites of the Church take over in a way that is just not usual at the funeral of someone who is not in Holy Orders.
