This beautiful photograph of the sun setting over St Davids Cathedral in Pembrokeshire was published in a Provincial News item, Election of new Bishop of St Davids. It is also symbolic of the sun setting on Christianity in the Church in Wales.
In another Provincial News item, New team for Panel as it widens access to ministry, the Church in Wales announces that "A senior journalist and Lay Canon is the new chair of the panel which selects people for ordained ministry."
Their aim is 'to increase the number of vocations and for new priests to reflect the wonderful diversity of our communities'.
Diversity along with inclusivity and equality have come to supersede all else in the Church in Wales.
A commentator under my previous blog entry sarcastically referred to 'eccentric congregations in Pembrokeshire' which, given the context of the comment, implied that traditional, orthodox Christianity was eccentric.
That does not augur well for the election of the next Bishop of St Davids later this month.
