@ Deiniol and Menai Strait: The toning down of unabashed 'deviant' clergy and practices at Bangor might in some part be late realisation of the growing African-black congregation base in the pews and communion-rail and how the mincing of 'priests' like Sion ap Rhys and his ilk would be anathema to their cultural and religious beliefs. For the same reason, presumably, that the Bangor Mosque doesn't flaunt 'queer' Imans (if such things exist) .. and their place of worship packed every Friday. Bangor was very slow to re-set its direction-finder but yes there are signs that normality are returning. Next question: When is Alice in Wonderland aka ++John finally going to announce that Sion ap Rhys is gone for good .... and how much of a pay-out he's been given to stay away.
That's surely not right AC, such an attitude would be racist and definitely two-tier-queer. The sub-mincer are his ilk are definitely anathema to my cultural and religious beliefs but I'm neither black nor African. Or is it more a case of the Welbys and chocolate teapots of this world can just ignore the orthodox traditional white anglicans, our white privileges and the fortunes we all undoubtedly made from our Jamaican sugar plantations and American cotton farms?
Nothing racist or two-tier-queer alluding to it Enoch. In past 6-8 months there has been a massive influx of black African and West Indies/Caribbean folk and their families into Bangor (goodness only knows why) and nice to see that many have found a friendly welcome at St Deiniol's cathedral.
But equally correct is that across most of Africa and certainly the preaching of African ministers, homosexuality in all its variant forms is absolute taboo. In Jamaica, for instance, homosexuality even among consenting adults and behind closed doors is punishable by not just 10 years in prison, but 10 with hard labour. What not in doubt is that while Bangor cathedral fluttered LGBTQ+ banners from its mastpole and gay-pride frontals on its altar and boasted parades of mincing clergy it certainly didn't appeal to international worshippers in this city of high overseas and NHS medical staff 'coloured' populace.
By the way I know of none of my ancestors - from a family tree back-tracking to Hywel Dda and Eliseg - who made a dime from Jamaican sugar or American. One, Ednyfed Fychan, earned a reputation for lopping off the heads of English Knights, another was hanged for cattle-rustling, and another who earned a 'cash-in-hand' groat or two digging graves died when he miscalculated the amount of black gunpowder needed to soften up the earth of the local churchyard. And all of them good chapel goers. You wouldn't 'mince' with them Enoch!!!!
Ad clerum, isn't it great that the NHS in North Wales has seen a welcome influx of medical staff from African countries. Where would we be without migration? That said, I strongly contest your racialised discourse on the attitudes you assume these 'international worshippers' will have towards LGBTQ+ people. You posit a false equivalence when you state that because they come from Africa, they will be in support of the oppression and persecution of LGBTQ+ persons here in the UK. What causes you to assume this? It is true that across Africa we have witnessed a surge in discriminatory legislation directed against LGBTQ+ persons, but the medics I know condemn this systematic targeting of the LGBTQ+ community and stand opposed to it. It is one of the reasons they have come here and your racialised narrative fails to honour this.
