Consecration of the Bishop of St Davids

by

We are looking forward to a historic day as final preparations and rehearsals take place for the consecration of Wales’ first woman bishop.

12The Rev’d Canon Joanna Penberthy will be consecrated as Bishop of St Davids at Llandaff Cathedral on Saturday January 21st.

She was elected as the 129th Bishop of St Davids by members of the Electoral College in November. It was the first opportunity for a woman to be elected as a bishop following the Church’s decision in 2013 to enable the ordination of women bishops.

Canon Joanna will be consecrated by the Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, with the five other Welsh bishops, and the Archbishop will give the address.

Thought for the Week

After the devastating events of natural disaster in the Americas and surrounding Islands, our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected in these tragedies. Particularly at this time, we pray for our brothers and sisters in Mexico after the recent earthquake.
We pray for the victims, for their families, and for all relief agencies in helping those who have been injured.
Lord God, whose Son, Jesus Christ, understood people's fear and pain before they spoke of them, we pray for the people of Mexico; surround the frightened with your tenderness; give strength to those in pain; hold the weak in your arms of love, and give hope and patience to those who are recovering from injury; we ask this through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord.
