| Social distancing was not required at the Llandaff diocese clergy 'pilgrimage' school in Santiago de Compostela Source: Twitter |
The Diocese of Llandaff 's Year of Pilgrimage has fizzled out. The Coronavirus lock down saw to that.
In what she described as an 'ambitious' plan, the bishop of Llandaff flew all diocesan clergy, plus various hangers-on, to Santiago de Compostela as a precursor to the Year of Pilgrimage which was designed to 'reinvigorate its work and worship' as part of the Church’s 2020 centenary celebrations.
Some hope.
With extra time on their hands during the pandemic clergy could read about the depressing pilgrimage of the Church in Wales from birth to death in a book edited by Professor Norman Doe under the title A New History of the Church in Wales: Governance and Ministry, Theology and Society.
At £74.99 for the hardback edition if anyone is still interested in the Church in Wales a paperback version is available at just over £25.
Chapter summaries can be found here.

ReplyDeleteThe pilgrimage school was the most ill conceived, ridiculous profligate use of church funds one is ever likely to have the misfortune to hear about. For what? To visit a cathedral that was shut? And then trying to fleece retireds for a place on the plane for 3 times the going rate.

I agree WHAMAB Profligate use of church funds. I am wondering what is the state of those funds in the current situation? Has the demise of the Church in Wales accelerated as income stream has come to an abrupt halt? In the midlands diocese where I live, clergy are now permitted by the bishop to live stream from church since 11th May. Every single one has decided to stay at home and celebrate communion in their own private domestic space. They are in no hurry to resume public worship after being at home for ten weeks on full pay.
ReplyDeleteAt least the Church in Wales did not issue such an edict and I am pleased as an exile that there is quite a good choice available from many churches, even if I resent the suspension of public worship which has become indefinite, I hope not permanent in the Church of England.

Please what game are the people in the picture playing? Are they not a bit old for such cavorting? Will they all fall down?
ReplyDeleteOi,AB you muppet. If you are going to give voice to the other muppets on this blog the least you can do is afford a right to reply. Post my comment you idiot. Waldo.

PP. What CinW needs is a state of the art media production studio, so that it's online services, teaching and vlog are more crisp, vital and media savvy to reach a wider audience. Surely the evangelism fund or remains thereof would be better spent this way!
