"Interfaith dialogue is not about telling everyone how great our angle on faith is and trying to convert them to it." - Bishop’s Officer for Interfaith Dialogue
It comes as no surprise that the Church in Wales is sinking fast when the Bishop’s Officer for Interfaith Dialogue in the archdiocese of Swansea and Brecon and the high profile vicar of St John's in Cardiff's city centre, the Rev Sarah Jones, express similar views which are contrary to biblical teaching: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" - Matthew 28:19.
Perhaps ignorant of the fact that there is only one way to the Father, the Rev Sarah Jones told Wales Online, "I don’t believe in bashing people with the bible or telling them what they should believe".
From the Swansea and Brecon Interfaith page people can find information about many faiths and none. What they will not find is any reference to orthodox Anglicans, the only group excluded from the 'inclusive' Church in Wales.
I have never heard a bishop mocked by a preacher and laughed at by a congregation as I heard Joanna St Davids, lampooned today for her general cluelessness and unchristian attitude towards retired clergy. She still seems to me like a little girl playing with dolls when she carries a crozier and assumes a mitre. She would be happier as a politician. I advise her to make the change, rather than change Christ's Church.

If any man is ashamed / embarrassed by me or my gospel, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed (when they meet on judgement day) in His glorious kingdom.

Lovely melodic tones on that wooden flute; enchanting. A calm entry on an otherwise tempestuous site. Thank you AB.
