Wenvoe and St Lythans

Hard to believe it is a week since I last posted. But it has been a frantic week with so many competing things to do. Four funerals and planning to take Rhodri back to Trinity College, Carmarthen. But it was delightful today to preside at the Eucharist in Wenvoe and St Lythans. Both of these churches are very beautiful and both reasonably well attended. Took ages to get any inspiration for the sermon today about the Untrustworthy Steward Luke 16:1-13, but got there in the end. Heartened this week by the fact the Archbishop feels unable to sign the covenant. Really hope that he sticks to this because I would find it difficult to belong to a church that insisted on adherence to a very narrow view of human sexuality based on taking small extracts from the bible out of context. What the archbishop said to the Governing Body can be found on the Church in Wales website and is well worth reading http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/

So as I begin another week which tomorrow will be focused on a Spirituality Committee meeting and seeing a directee in the afternoon I hope that the battle for an inclusive, tolerant and loving church is not one that will be lost!
