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…

Great article about my book from former BBC Radio 2, Radio 4, and Songs of Praise presenter, Debbie Thrower. In recent years, Thrower founded Anna Chaplaincy, a community-based ministry which offers spiritual and emotional support to older people. annachaplaincy.org.uk/post/f…

Had a wonderful ministry conference last week. Ministry officers from across Wales came together to share ideas and explore how we can inspire and support new vocations. We left feeling encouraged and hopeful about the future 😊

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”

We have partnered with Great Place To Work to offer a Clergy Wellbeing Survey to all stipendiary clergy. The results will help us better understand clergy wellbeing and inform how we may take action to help. All responses are collected by Great Place To Work to ensure confidentiality. Rydym wedi partneru â Great Place To Work i gynnig Arolwg Llesiant Clerigion i bob clerig cyflogedig. Bydd y canlyniadau'n ein helpu i ddeall llesiant clerigion yn well ac yn llywio sut y gallwn gymryd camau i helpu. Mae Great Place To Work yn casglu'r holl ymatebion i sicrhau cyfrinachedd.

The survey is for stipendiary clergy only. It will be open for two weeks. All stipendiary clergy will be sent a link and a QR code via their CinW email accounts. All responses are anonymous. This survey has been provided as a result of a proposal made to the Governing Body, and is fully bilingual. Ar gyfer clerigwyr cyflogedig yn unig y mae'r arolwg. Bydd ar agor am bythefnos. Anfonir dolen a chod QR at bob clerigwr cyflogedig drwy eu cyfrifon e-bost CinW. Mae pob ymateb yn ddienw. Darparwyd yr arolwg hwn o ganlyniad i gynnig a wnaed i'r Corff Llywodraethol, ac mae'n gwbl ddwyieithog.
