“To repent is not to look downwards at my own shortcomings, but upwards at God’s love, it is not to look backwards with self-reproach but forward with trustfulness, it is to see not what I have failed to be, but what by the grace of Christ I might yet become." Saint John Climacus

Wonderful news!

Such good news! Money alone will not fulfil the church’s commission, but it will help us provide the resources we need to add capacity and invest in our work with young people and families.

Monmouth Diocese Conference gave us a morning of inspiration, leadership and vision. Monmouth Diocese Outstanding address from our Bishop Cherry Vann & great direction of debate and discussion from IRees What a terrific event!

This is such a positive development for The Church in Wales | Yr Eglwys yng Nghymru clergy. Wonderful to see pastoral supervisors from across the province being trained for this vital work. Thanks to all involved.

Hi Mike, my understanding is that bishops are chief pastors with overall responsibility for the pastoral care of their clergy. Putting pastoral supervisors in place is one aspect of that overall care.

Mark, this is precisely what they offer - help and support, in a dedicated space for 1-1 conversation. I hope you find the help and support you are looking for.

Sorry Mike - a slip of the fingers!
