Some pics from yesterday of one of @danielstroud ‘s churches, St. John the Evangelist, Rhydymwyn. It was built in the mid 19th century. Felix Mendelsohn composed ‘The Rivulet’ while staying in the village.

One of @danielstroud ‘s village churches had a Christmas tree festival this weekend. The theme was Christmas carols, and it was really lovely 🎄 I’ll share some photos in a thread.

First up: Silent Night 🎶 by the War Memorial Institute, celebrating the Christmas Truce of 1914. There were handwritten transcriptions of soldiers’ letters on the tree.

Gaudete Sunday! From the first word of the introit (introduction) in the service, gaudete is Latin for ‘rejoice’. The 3rd Sunday marks a reprieve from the penitential aspect of the Advent season, so we light the pink candle on the Advent wreath.

Hymns:
🎵 Come, thou long expected Jesus
🎵 O come, o come, Emmanuel
🎵 On Jordan’s banks
🎵 I, the Lord of 🌊 & sky
🎵 God’s Spirit is in my ❤️

Currently trying to write an essay about why equal marriage is something the should wholeheartedly embrace, why it's been a good thing for the Church and why the should stop dithering and get on with it. All for my degree.

Here are some closeups of the angels in Holy Trinity.

The Welsh text above it reads, “Canys fy nghnawd i sydd fwyd yn wir…a’m gwaed i sydd ddiod yn wir” which translates to “My flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed” (John 6:55).

Our third speaker feels like an imposter, especially since coming into ministry in the it has been unrelenting. He speaks of reflecting on n scripture, the first is reflecting on Elijah in the desert, where God fed him and gave him rest. The second is where, during the battle, when arms were up, the Israelites were winning, and when they were down, the Israelites were losing, so they needed people to hold their arms up.

To be fair, I’m not quite as down on the “priest in the parish” model as our speaker (Graham Archer), and I think there is a benefit to distinctive witness in distinct places and in having opportunities to lead according to one’s gifts. But an unwillingness to build connections and collaboration across former parish bounds would be catastrophic to the church. We must be willing to work together on mission and ministry.

“The Church has near-idolized the ‘lone hero’ model; we must think about how we can work together.” As someone who has generally much enjoyed toiling away in my own quiet corner of the kingdom, this is convicting and fair.

Hearing today at our clergy school about what we’ll be doing over the next year to celebrate our 1450th year as a diocese. That is nearly a millennium and a half. Always slightly surreal to remember I stand in such a long line of witness stretching into the past and into the future.

Hey - if next year is the year of Jubilee here in St. Asaph, There are a few things that I wonder if there's any legs to putting together.
1. A Welsh Faith-Based Geek conference (think 9 Worlds, but just the faith track)
2. A Church-In-Wales technology group
(can you tell I'm learning how to do this Mastodon thing!)
