Great week at the provincial discernment panel of the Church in Wales at Gladstone’s Library, including being part of a film about how the process works. The process is how the Church prays and listens together to see if someone is being called to train to be a priest or deacon.

We talk a lot about strength in ministry… but what about vulnerability? If leaders never show weakness, what kind of leadership are we offering? My new blog post explores why vulnerability might matter far more than we imagine. Please do have a read. trystanowainhughes.wordpress…

Vulnerability and Ministry: Leadership from the Inside Out

A few months ago, someone approached me with a comment I wasn’t expecting about my newly-published book. They said they had stopped reading because it was “too raw, too personal, too open”. They ex…

A real privilege to lead a quiet morning at Bangor Cathedral. Wonderful to reflect together on pilgrimage, suffering and hope. Roedd hi’n fraint go iawn cael arwain bore tawel yng Nghadeirlan Bangor - yn myfyrio gyda’n gilydd ar bererindod, dioddefaint a gobaith.

Feeling both delighted and humbled by the wonderfully positive review of To Hell’s Mouth and Back in the Church Times: “This attractive and unusual book aims at a general Christian readership, but digs deep. It’s a good choice as the Archbishop of Wales's recommendation for Lent”

Today is Candlemas, and here’s a little bit about what exactly that means. lectionary.churchinwales.org…    Heddiw yw Gŵyl y Canhwyllau, a dyma ychydig am beth yn union y mae hynny'n ei olygu. lectionary.churchinwales.org…   #ChurchInWales #EglwysYngNghymru
What is the candlemass? Beth yw Gŵyl y Canhwyllau?

ALT What is the candlemass? Beth yw Gŵyl y Canhwyllau?

Candlemas is a feast day commemorating the presentation of Jesus at the Temple by his parents, based upon the account in Luke 2. On Candlemas, many Christians take their candles to their local church, where they are blessed and then used for the rest of the year as a symbol of Jesus as the Light of the World. Candlemas represents the end of the Christmas-Epiphany season, and some people keep their Christmas decorations up until this time! Mae Gŵyl y Canhwyllau yn ddiwrnod gŵyl sy'n coffáu cyflwyniad Iesu i'r Deml gan ei rieni, yn seiliedig ar yr hanes yn Luc 2. Ar Gŵyl y Canhwyllau, mae llawer o Gristnogion yn mynd â'u canhwyllau i'w heglwys leol, lle cânt eu bendithio ac yna'u defnyddio am weddill y flwyddyn fel symbol o Iesu fel Goleuni'r Byd. Mae Gŵyl y Canhwyllau yn cynrychioli diwedd tymor y Nadolig-Ystwyll, ac mae rhai pobl yn cadw eu haddurniadau Nadolig i fyny tan yr amser hwn!

Very grateful that Bishop Mary Stallard has commended my book 'To Hell's Mouth and Back’ as Lent reading this year: "A great resource for personal or group reflection; written in an accessible style with prompts to help the reader to reflect themselves & ask their own questions."
