In an extraordinary moment of candour as the Dean of Monmouth, Lister Tonge, welcomed visitors to Newport Cathedral for the enthronement of Cherry Vann as the 11th bishop of Monmouth he said, "Don't be overwhelmed by any of the solemnity, we're certainly tongue in cheek about certain parts of it."

All of it would have been more appropriate. It sums up the Church in Wales.
