| Bishop Joanna with some Halloween prop suggestions added Original photo: Christian Today/CiW |
One facet of Halloween festivities that few of us can avoid regardless of our attitude is 'Trick or Treating'.
Given her penchant for matters secular the bishop of St Davids could enter fully into the festive spirit by swopping headgear and staff for something more suited to the expectations of trick and treaters.
More importantly for the Church in Wales and Anglicanism in general is whether Joanna would have chosen trick or treat.
'Away from work' until the end of October Joanna could have treated Anglicans by announcing her retirement rather than trick the Church again by returning to duties, such as they are given her devotion to party politics.
Sadly she is reported to be more eager to trick the Church and treat herself by beginning 'a phased return to work from November 1'.
This is a problem not confined to the Church in Wales with their unaccountable bishops.
The Scottish Episcopal Church is in a similar position: "The Times reports the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church is in fear of being deposed by the members of the church’s College of Bishops over his handling of the Anne Dyer affair. An independent investigation recommenced the Rt. Rev. Anne Dyer, Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney be placed on a terminal sabbatical leave for mismanagement. The primus, the Most Rev. Mark Strange, is being blamed by his brother bishops for Dyer’s appointment and the public relations fiascos that have ensued."
Meanwhile, before the election of the next Archbishop of Wales can take place, the appointment the bishop of Swansea and Brecon is awaited with uneasy anticipation
Given the mess in which the bench finds itself after successively appointing like-minded individuals they should realise that they cannot afford another botched job. But I doubt it.
More likely they will have another trick up their sleeve to take the Church in Wales even further from its roots.
Postscript [29.10.2021]
The 'Away from work' link in paragraph 4 above has been removed. A new notice under the original absence date 'Posted: 21 June 2021' has appeared advising that "Bishop Joanna is to make a phased return to work following four months of ill health. She will return to her office on Monday November 1st."
Having abandoned her Twitter account on which she spent so much of her time, presumably her duties will be light. The nature of the bishop's ill health has not been disclosed.
Coinciding as it did with breaking news of her party political Twitter activities many will draw their own conclusions as she brazens it out without any sign of contrition other than being sorry for being caught out.
The whole episode stinks to high heaven but the Church in Wales carries on regardless.
Joanna's absence has not prevented her from adding her name to those of other bishops' joint statements, eg, Statement on COP26 .
Doesn't she realise that valuable lay parish officers have threatened to resign - yes resign - if she returns?
ReplyDeleteDom
Does anyone really think she gives a rat's backside?
DeleteIt's all about her and it always has been.
She will call the bluff of all the parish officers.
They then must resign and walk away without hesitation and en masse.
Martin Shipton will be awaiting their phone calls.
The Ordinary of the diocese of St David's is either fit for work or not fit for work. She's certainly not fit for purpose!

You really are the most unkind blogger I have come across in church circles in a very long time. You’re clearly intent on continuing a persecution of +Joanna with your childish manipulation of the image which heads this article, casting her once again in the guise of a witch. This is telling and you (and your kind) would do well to remember that the hunt of witches in the past had nothing to do with fighting evil or resisting the devil. It was naked misogyny, the goal of which was to repress, demean and persecute the intellect of all women. +Joanna is no witch, and unlike you, she has gained a PhD and is a woman of far superior knowledge than you will ever be. Your accusations of witchcraft anger me and border on the demonic. Shame on you.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with men of your type when it comes to women who hold serious political and religious power? No doubt you would have been on the side of those who undermined Joan of Arc back in the day: you recall that she led the French to victory and was adored in France for her purity, bravery and intellect. However, the English leadership couldn’t bear her (nor beat her) and so they sought to undermine her, crediting her success to demonic means. When she was eventually captured, they tried her for witchcraft, citing as proof her ability to outwit her male examiners.
I’m pleased +Joanna is gradually returning to her work; I hope that she will tread carefully as she continues to slay the demons of misogyny and gossip in the church. I trust that her senior team – each and every one of them – will give her 100% support and do so vocally, publicly and unequivocally. I trust her fellow bishops to do the same.

@ Ruthy:
DeleteThere's nothing new about spleen within the church, as, to take but one early instance, any exploration of the debates which took place during the fifth century councils which attempted to settle the issue of the nature of Christ will swiftly reveal.
Back then Cyril of Alexandria was hailed as a Christian hero - at least in the Latin and Hellenistic church traditions if not among the orientals - because his doctrine of the nature of Christ won acceptance in those parts of the church rather than because of his personal sanctity, charity and sweet holiness of life. Because in Cyril those qualities seem to have been noticeably absent.
No difference now. As an old priest in Swansea and Brecon diocese whom I knew well forty years ago, now long dead, used to say, 'human nature's very prevalent'. As it was in the beginning, so it is now. And, maybe, it ever shall be, world without end!

Once again you completely miss the point untRuthy,perhaps deliberately so.
DeleteMy comments and conduct are not at issue, but the crass, clumsy and unkind remarks published by a public figure in holy orders who was quite obviously seeking to use her position to unduly influence a vote with unkind remarks and who, since doing so, has been concentrating solely on saving her salary rather than doing the decent and honourable thing.
Let her go forth in silence.
Ruthy, What can one s at about your post? You seem as hysterically deluded, if not as troublesome, as the adherents of the Insulate Rebellion protests. I fear it is Joanna who has played the system.
ReplyDeleteRob
That tells me all I need to know about the "friends of this blog". Lumping people who protest about misogyny together with people who protest about the wanton destruction of God's world. Reactionary, mean-spirited and toxically nostalgic.
DeleteWhenever I wonder why Church in Wales attendance keeps falling (Not at my church, though, under the leadership of our wonderful -gasp- woman vicar), I only have to visit this blog. Who in their right mind would spend any time in the company of such soul-sapping, enervating whingers?

One effective way to protest against her continuing is to boycott all parish events when she visits. She has to get the message.
ReplyDeleteDom
As I read this from the frozen wastes of Canada, ( and baptized, confirmed in the CinW) I wonder why the various problems which are constantly discussed here have not been discussed with the clergy and bishops in their respective dioceses .
ReplyDeleteWe have women and gay bishops who are doing a great job expanding the Kingdom.
Gay marriage is not universally accepted , but we live with it if we are so inclined.
Now, the confused situation at Llandaff Cathedral is something that has to be resolved.
I nominate Canon Preece for Dean
Cymro
On a slightly different note.
ReplyDeleteI see that the Bench has issues demands on climate change to the UK government.
Can I ask the Bench when it will put its demands into action?
Are all Vicarages to have insulation upgrades, electric heat pumps and solar panels.
Will the CiW help each Parish to do similar in all Churches and halls?
I recall several years ago, the CiW produced a glossy brochure telling Churches to spend more to go green. I asked the parsonage board if that applied to Vicarages too, and was laughed at.
It's always easy to tell others what to do than do it ourselves.
The blind support by the CinW for the climate change frenzy is for me the main reason for leaving the church. Articulate, sensible discussion by all means, but simply ignoring facts that don't support the argument or that its fashionable to support this cause, do nothing for the gravitas the church is supposed to bring to discussions. Climate change has been around for millenia, there is nothing new about it, google Milankovitch cycles for a quick scene setter. The underlying causes for this have never satisfactorily been explained though various theories are advanced. Without knowing what the natural factors are it's difficult to meaningfully quantify the effects of fossil fuels, doubtless they play a part but to what extent is analogous to trying to resolve an equation without knowing what all the various terms mean. There is a lot of good that has come from efforts to clean up the environment, air quality is better, mountains of waste are reducing, coal tips disappearing etc and long may it continue. But wrecking economies and the misery that will bring in the hope we can change the climte should not form the vision for the future. We cannot accurately predict the weather more than a few days in advance so to say by getting to nett zero we can actually change the weather patterns that form future climate beggars belief.
ReplyDeleteMorwr, much good sense! The Church in Wales does jump on bandwagons, no diocese more than Juno's Lladaff. How refreshing if the bishops really thought about issues. Sadly, little chance of that. Philosophical pygmies most of them.
ReplyDeleteDom
Speaking of pygmies, perhaps the plank sitters are considering Greta Thunberg for the vacancy in Swansea and Brecon.
DeleteToo intellectual for them, LG.

DeleteRuthy (the kinder one)
Unless of course she's a witch masquerading as a Christian.
DeleteYou misunderstand Ruthy. I was merely using the juxtaposition of Joanna's 'phased return to work' and dressing up for Halloween, something I abhor, with reference to 'trick or treat'. You cannot regard every child who dresses as a witch as such any more than a bishop who may enter into the spirit of the occasion.

ReplyDeleteWelby opens his big mouth once more without engaging brain first.
Another circus performer with size 30 shoes.
The ears in the walls report that Bazza's golf caddie has been caught with his hands in the plate and been spending £10s thousands on unauthorised purchases, like an AGA and art work for the Deanery.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention a little bonus for the slimy amphibian Mr Toad.
Let me guess.
Delete£30k was spent on a new kitchen for the Prebendal house but there's no AGA to be found in the Prebendal house?
Why would the Llandaff Deanery need an AGA?
DeleteTens of thousands of £s were spent renovating it (including a new kitchen) and getting it ready for Janet Henderson to move in.
Readers will recall that she and husband Dave never even stayed there because she'd resigned before the renovations were complete.
Indeed Lux Et Veritas, the Llandaff accounts have been published with a special page detailing the shenanigans *allegedly* perpetrated by the Disappearing Dean.
DeleteGo to page 24 in the PDF at this link: https://www.llandaffcathedral.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Llandaff-Cathedral-Accounts-2020-for-filing.pdf
Under the heading "Related party transactions and trustees' remuneration, expenses and benefits", the Chapter states:
"The trustees are required under section 8(5) of The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 to prepare the statement of accounts in accordance with the Charities SORP, which requires trustees to disclose certain information about the remuneration and other benefits received by trustees."
They then outline the following:
"In 2021, Chapter has been investigating expenditure totalling £69,350 between 2016 and 2020 of which at least £35,551 it does not believe was approved by the trustees, as required in law.
"As a result of a report commissioned by Chapter (and shared with the Charity Commission) from a Queen’s Counsel independent of the trustees, Chapter has concluded that the following amounts were apparently authorised by The Very Reverend Gerwyn Capon which benefited him personally, directly or indirectly, but were not approved by the trustees of the charity:
• for work at the Deanery (not owned or maintained by the charity), including the purchase of an Aga cooker and wood-burning stove: £22,173
• Furniture, artwork and other items: £4,789
• Entertaining, travel and other costs: £5,325
"A further £3,264 was apparently authorised by The Very Reverend Gerwyn Capon for payment to an employee in addition to salary, without the authority of the trustees."
This implies that when the Cathedral was running at a considerable loss, Capon was furnishing the Deanery in style and paying for away days and fine dining. £35K over four years is not an inconsiderable sum either.
This also begs the question, what happened to the remainder of the £69K being investigated? Also, how did the Dean manage to get away with this for so long, and how is he still "on the sick" when this fraud should be dealt with by the proper authorities?
The real question is what the hell were the other Trustees doing while this was going on?
DeleteNot to mention the PCC and those present at the annual Easter Vestry meetings at which votes were held to "approve" the annual accounts?
And what about the Cathedral auditors?
By the sound of things it was only this blog and its contributors that were questioning the annual accounts and slated for doing so by the gay cabal and the fag hags supporters of --Bazza's golf caddie!
Perhaps now this has come to light, the fools in the Charity Commission will revisit the diet of BS they were fed by the Capon over the Organ appeal too?
After all, on the face of it he must have zero credibility by now?
Here's hoping that matters have also been referred to the fraud squad at South Wales police as it seems to me there could well be a conspiracy to defraud the Cathedral.
If there was previously any doubt over Barry Morgan's judgement in appointing the nasty little man, surely by now it has evaporated.
DeleteLet me guess, was the member of staff to whom unauthorised additional salary paid the infamous Mr Toad?
The support from Caiaphas enjoyed previously by the Capon must also be questioned.
DeleteMany apologies are owed to many people, not least of all David Jones and David Lambert who were so shamelessly dismissed out of hand by Gerwhine and ignored by her.
She should also hang her head in shame and resign.
Just as the plank sitters pontificate and issue press releases on climate change and pollution, it emerges that the dud in the Llandaff Deanery has spent £23000 on an AGA cooker and a wood burning stove.
DeleteThe timing could not be juicier!
Quite apart from her previously noted ineptitude, deceit and general incompetence, one assumes that negligence can now be added to the achievements of the former Archdeaconesse of Llandaff, Peggy the Pilate of "the taxman will never know" school of accountancy.
DeleteA former chartered accountant, her true worth is also now plain for all to see.
Regulars here will also remember the complaints about the Dean of Llandaff automatically being the chairman of the Friends of Llandaff Cathedral charity and the obvious conflict of interest.
DeleteIt seems to me that the Friends trustees should also make appropriate announcements and record a potential serious incident with the Charity Commissioners.
The irony is that they too were being warned by this blog and contributors but also, like the Cathedral authorities, chose to ignore the warnings.
@Caiaphas must go!
I agree with you entirely.
It seems that all the time Gerwhine was writing his poison pen letters to elderly widows, calling out long-standing members of his congregation as "subversive", getting rid of the Meebecke choir and telling people that they were banned from running the shop, being a Welcomer and serving at the altar for Welsh services, he was allegedly lining his own pockets from the collection plate.
Little wonder then that Linda Quinn's suggestion (that G4S take over the responsibilities for banking the cash etc) was refused.
How much has it cost to hire an external independent QC to start taking the lid off the can of worms?
Will the new lay Chapter rise to the challenge of publishing that?
And will the costs of the exercise also be added to the sums of money they claim to be seeking to recover?
If not, why not?
I see from the Cathedral website that questions have been invited.
DeleteWill the new Chapter publish all the questions and their answers in full?
Why should anyone believe they will be transparent now while the organ appeal accounts are still the subject of a long standing cover-up, which Gerwhine perpetuated?
The swamp stinks more than ever.
If Gerwhine had a shred of decency in him he would have resigned in shame long since.
DeleteThe same applies to June Osborne. Remember how she earned the epithet of Caiaphas in the first place?
"In what capacity are you here?"
"I am the accuser!"
That was her response to two long serving members of her flock (one a lawyer, the other a businessman) who were trying to do the right thing and get to the bottom of what was going on with the finances at Llandaff Cathedral.
Rather than check the facts for herself she chose to adopt the "I trust and support my Dean and believe whatever he says" approach.
Her faith in Gerwhine was misplaced and her judgement totally flawed.
If she had a shred of decency in her she too would resign.
@Gabriel
DeleteI remember an old suggestion that the Cathedral auditor was the son of Alun Williams, the Cathedral treasurer.
Is that correct?
Coincidence?
One must remind oneself that the Dark --Lord's apprentice learned his trade at the feet of the master of getting away with dipping his hands into the plate.
DeleteIt is a matter of record and considerable debate on this blog that bully boy Bazza topped up his "discretionary" funds at every possible opportunity and that spending other people's money without being held to account was the norm during his reign of terror.
I hear that Darth Insidious is away on one of his regular trips. Is that merely coincidence too?
Found on page 6 of the annual report.
Delete"Emergency work had to be carried out on the Cathedral’s sewage
pumps, and more may be required."
No sh*t Sherlock.
With apologies to all readers, I believe I have found the answer to my own question above.
Deletehttps://www.llandaffcathedral.org.uk/annual-report-financial-statements-2020/
Annual Report & Financial Statements 2020
The accounts formally approved by Dean and Chapter filed with the Charity Commission are essentially the same as those considered by the Annual Meeting on 8th June other than for an expanded note on trustee benefits on page 22.
Given this addition, if members of the congregation wish to ask questions about this expanded note then they are invited to fill out the form below by Sunday 21st November. Chapter will gather the questions together and provide a summary with responses thereafter.
https://llandaffcathedral.churchsuite.com/forms/tq1fpogk
It appears that only "a summary" is on offer.
Business as usual then.
"Never never never trust a Dean of Llandaff"
Delete£5.5k spent on "entertaining"?
DeleteWas that spent on the post evensong soirées for his cronies?
How many rum pansies and pink gins would it take to blow that lot?
I clearly recall hearing and/or reading somewhere that the new lay Chapter intended to be more open and transparent.
DeleteWhy then have they not published the independent QC's report in full?
What else remains concealed and why?
@Llandaff Pewster
DeleteI have only just noticed that the Lay Chapter's invitation to submit questions via the Cathedral website is restricted to "members of the congregation".
Without knowing the date(s) of Gerwhine's alleged fraud(s) how are concerns of former members of the congregation to be registered?
And what of casual visitors and tourists who may have been gulled into making financial donations to the black hole of the Cathedral accounts?
Or those who have made one-off donations at baptisms, weddings and funerals?
Is it only those mugs who chapter hopes / intends to tap for yet more "regular" giving that have the right to ask questions?
The only sure means of asking your questions would be to publish them here.
DeleteHowever, I doubt the lay Chapter will have the balls to publish their answers here.
And welcome back.

ReplyDelete'I must not tweet. I must not tweet. I must not tweet. I love Tories. They are my kind of people. I love them to bits. Why are all these parish officefs resigning?'
Rob
PP. AB and Co should be congratulated, for the constancy of the drip feed of the Llandaff Chronicle of deceit, ineptitudes and significant fraud. Even though silence and inaction prevailed as the Dean and his compatriots reigned fear, caustic lies and much more.
ReplyDeleteBut, this news must finally make each one of you and those who brought this to light much joy as the sword falls swiftly.
The Bishop may for whatever reason is not frequently seen as a person who actually listens. But, on this occasion it is clear she was playing the "long game" the adage "give them enough rope and they will hang themselves" seems her mode operandi, and it paid off!
As a Dean of a huge historic cathedral she had years in knowing the importance of fiscal matters. This obviously aided her to see through the "smoke and mirrors". She may not be well favoured, but on this occasion a little gratitude may be in order, as she prepares the Solemn Requiem for the demise of the chief of cathedral bandits who plundered the coffers and thought he could get away with it
The independent QCs is that not obvious? Surely, it is very probable that he resides at Llys Esgob.
The CiW and Charity Commission cannot be leanient, I would hope that the SW Police will be in this toxic mix pulling apart the ingredients and mixers and hauling them into court. Perhaps at last the Dark Lord, will be found in forensic light with a little of this couldrun's mix on his hands.
I wonder if a similar story lies in the recent demise of other deanery occupants in the province?
Caiaphas' QC could hardly be described as "independent" and I doubt he'd be stupid enough to get involved with his wife's mess.
DeletePP. I understand your point. However, he would lead/introduce the right QC to the situation. I doubt s/he would be local.
DeleteThe sword falling swiftly PP?
DeleteDon't make me laugh.
The dud in the Llandaff Deanery has been AWOL since March 2020,disappearing before the first Covid lockdown.
The accounts just published on the Cathedral website make it clear that the current Chapter began their investigation in 2021.
I can only conclude therefore that it took Gerard Elias QC and his fellow lay Chapter members a year to realise that they had a problem and then they needed to hire an outside QC to pinpoint the problem for them.
There's no evidence available at present to suggest Caiaphas has been involved at any stage and since Gerwhine is employed and paid by the Representative Body, any evidence of theft, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, malfeasance along with any other examples of gross misconduct would have to be supplied to the RB.
The theft or misapplication of a Charity's money should also be reported to the Charity Commissioners as well as the police.
The simple fact that Llandaff has been missing a Dean, without any explanation until yesterday, for some 21 months suggests there's nothing swift about it.
On the contrary, I am more inclined to believe that the intention was to engage in another cover up, but I suspect Caiaphas has discovered that's not easy to do with a newly appointed QC as vice chairman of her new lay Chapter.
As for holding out the begging bowl two weeks ago to the few remaining pew sitters in the hope of plugging a £65k hole in the annual accounts? Well, good luck with that.
No-one in their right mind would give another penny unless and until the full extent of the problems had been revealed.
Let the trustees put their hands in their own pockets, it might teach a few of them to be more diligent and more vigilant in future.
At the foot of page 19 of the newly published accounts:-
DeleteThe only significant remaining risk is that giving falls substantially.
We continue to be grateful to all those who commit to regular giving, and although there was a fall in other giving because of the lack of services, regular giving is largely unaffected, and we have no reason to expect it to fall significantly further.
As you say Exodus, no-one in their right mind......
One feels the need to ask the question Ancient Briton.
DeleteSurely the scandal of the Cathedral accounts deserves its own new thread?
Perhaps one might also consider a detailed review of all relevant previous threads and posts on the same?
What a curious phenomenon.
DeleteAll the previously militant supporters of the Capon SO critical of this blog and contributors are utterly silent.
I wonder why?

Dear Diary,
ReplyDeleteIt’s the end of week 2, and I am still here. My brother and sister bishops have turned up trumps. Juno arranged for the report on the Dean of Llandaff to be released, and that focused people’s attentions to South Wales for a while. Andy announced the new bishop for Swansea and Brecon. And now, Greggers, as I affectionately call him, made the headlines by blessing a same sex marriage. This is going well. I am even thankful to Reverend Josh Maynard, who took the spotlight off me with his announcement. When the “Ooh! Aah!” over Greggers dies down, Cherry will make an announcement that should blow people’s socks off! She is about to appoint a black lesbian amputee as Archdeacon of the Gwent Valleys. She will tell the press that it is all about inclusivity. The only unfortunate thing is that the woman hasn’t been ordained yet; but why let a little thing like that get in the way? I wish I had thought of it before she did. The bitch!
Back here, at Llys Esgob, and I am keeping my head down. This phased return to work is very tedious. I have finished colouring in my two adult colouring books. Daytime TV is getting boring. The only stimulation are the letters from churchwardens and treasurers resigning. I wish I was still on Twitter, but even if I was, Adrian has hidden my iphone from me. He reckons it’s my therapy. Heigh-ho, not much more to say. I’d better get my emery board out and file my nails.
