I guess Barry would consider squandering £2m on a dodgy idea like this as small change. No need to get approval from the GB - or anyone else for that matter. The real reason why the talent pool in Wales is low is that the talented clergy have left for the C of E! 20% of stipendiary clergy in the Diocese of Bangor now serve in the C of E. All graduates of 'proper' universities (i.e. not the St Seriol's/Glyndwr university kind of kindergarten), all Welsh-speaking, all doing good jobs in their various spheres. Anyone care to suggest why the C of E recognised their talent but the Bench Sitters did not?Beleaguered of Bangornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-38024492593698063012014-12-18T11:45:43.622+00:002014-12-18T11:45:43.622+00:00Darth ++Insidious should do Llandaff a huge favour...Darth ++Insidious should do Llandaff a huge favour, become a martyr and tee off on the holy links.Saulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-4474671704155693172014-12-18T09:01:59.766+00:002014-12-18T09:01:59.766+00:00Saint Alban: just a few days between conversion an...Saint Alban: just a few days between conversion and martyrdomEvangelical Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393283334628401985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-14292446407418155212014-12-17T20:51:56.953+00:002014-12-17T20:51:56.953+00:00He can still appoint one and be first, but he'...He can still appoint one and be first, but he'd better hurry.

He so wanted to the first archbishop in the UK to consecrate a lady bishop. And now it will never happen because the Bench-sitters will not budge and he can’t get rid of his Ass. One of His Grace’s brother bishops was recently over heard suggesting that the talent pool was very shallow in Wales from which to appointment the first lady bishop.
