A sense of proportion!


A "packed Margam Abbey" welcomed @BishopJuno as she outlined the Diocesan Vision – Where Faith Matters.                                               Source: Twitter 


The result of 18 months of work with bishop June Osborne visiting all areas of her diocese and listening to parishes, schools and chaplaincies.

These figures are from Where Faith Matters which the bishop of Llandaff, June Osborne, delivered to the elderly in what was claimed to be a "packed Margam Abbey":

Population of Wales with Easter and Christmas Communicants in 2017 

Her figures show that only 1% of the population were Church in Wales Communicants at Easter and Christmas in 2017.

Faith mattered to many more people in Wales before Barry Morgan set about secularising the Church in Wales. Under him nobody was allowed to progress unless they followed his line.

One has only to look at those who style themselves bishops in the Church in Wales and many of their senior staff  to see where that has led. Jolly June's statistics illustrate the result.

CORRECTION

The bar chart should have referred to the diocese of Llandaff which covers around a third of the population of Wales.  The total population of Wales in 2011 was 3,063,456. The average Church in Wales Sunday adult attendance in 2017 was 27,359 representing less than 1% of the population. My apologies for the error.
