On this #internationalchoristerday I give thanks for those who nurtured me musically, but also in my faith as a chorister when I was younger. I also thank God for all those musicians who enrich the churches worship Sunday by Sunday! Deo Gratias!

Time to move to equal marriage – speech to Governing Body of Church in Wales Chair, members of Governing Body, I think there are two issues we face. Firstly, I think it is pastorally and missionally unthinkable that we would now end what we approved in 2021. Those of us who…

Time to move to equal marriage. A number of people thanked me for my address yesterday at the Governing Body, so here is the text in case it is of interest to anyone. It has to be acknowledged that not everyone agreed, but it's what I think.

I’m always struck by how beautiful that collect is 🙏

On today’s feast of St Deiniol, I pray for @esgobaethbangor.bsky.social and especially for @manoncjames.bsky.social as she starts her ministry at the Cathedral founded by him.

Hollalluog Dduw, a ysbrydolaist dy esgob Deiniol i gasglu o’i gwmpas gymuned, caniatâ i ni i atgyfnerthu teulu dy Eglwys.

For the first time in a long time, it was lovely to be able to play the organ on a Sunday morning. Thank you @newportcathedral.bsky.social for the invite and welcome!

Manon celebrating the Eucharist.

My final @spi-padarnsant.bsky.social Summer School is done, and the start of my final year of training has begun.

Emotional goodbyes as @manoncjames.bsky.social leaves her role to become Dean of Bangor. Her passion, encouragement, and wisdom will stay me and guide me in my ministry! Diolch Manon!

Newyddion wych! Great news!

After a few long days, it was a real treat to go and see a production of Sweeny Todd by @rwcmd.bsky.social last night. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Such joy to be at @newportcathedral.bsky.social this morning for the ordinations. Such joyous occasion!

Today is St John’s Day. This week is my final week on placement @stjohnscardiff.bsky.social. My prayer today is for the continued witness and mission of that place on this their patronal feast.

Diolch @sarahjonestoo.bsky.social and @ericaeglwys.bsky.social for all your support!

Happy Corpus Christi. Joyous mass at @stgermancardiff.bsky.social this evening, with excellent sermon from Bishop Rowan Williams!

Love that road!

I love going there. There is a timeless magic to the place.

It’s sooo cute!

Haven’t laughed so much in a long time! Wonderful to play for the Eucharist at @spi-padarnsant.bsky.social last night with our guest lecturer @deanoakley.bsky.social. Beautiful homily and inspiring lecture.

What are the other Welcome Services?

Had a few really valuable days being alongside the chaplains at @cavuhb.bsky.social this week and last. They do such amazing work supporting people through some of life’s hardest moments.

I can’t face the effort and energy that will require just yet! Last year, out of pure laziness they stayed up until Candlemas #pious 😂

Preaching tomorrow evening on the Wedding at Cana, and thinking about transformation. Asking the question, “how will you be transformed this year?”
