Archbishop high fiving Source: HOLYWELLCOMMUNITY Former Bishop of Monmouth high fiving Source: Church in Wales |
Following the announcement of the retirement of the Bishop of Monmouth, the Rt Revd Richard Pain, oversight of the mission and ministry of the Diocese continues under the Archbishop of Wales, the Most Revd John Davies, who appears keen to continue where the former bishop left off.
Whilst the Peace is not universally popular it is to be hoped that an already impoverished liturgy is not going to include the 'high five' as a sign of getting along to get on.
Postscript [23.06.2019]
This statement by the Archbishop of Wales should put an end to the rumours and misinformation that have been circulating during the bishop's absence.
