Abp Barry Morgan's legacy: Desolation. Note the dual translations. Point made!
This video must rank as one of the most contemptuous of an organisation's membership ever made. The Archbishop of Wales speaks in Welsh with English subtitles in supposed deference to Welsh speakers while the 'Welsh speaking' bishop-elect speaks in English with Welsh subtitles for the benefit of those who do not understand what she is talking about.
Forget the Landsker line and 'little England beyond Wales', this is about women in the church. The ability to communicate in Welsh has been marginalised to accommodate a woman of Barry Morgan's choice. He protests that his nominee has nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman but that she is the best person to be a bishop. If you swallow that you will swallow anything.
Postscript [15.11.2016]
‘Sacred Synod’ to confirm Bishop of St Davids’ election -Provincial News Press release:
The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, said, "The Constitution of the Church in Wales requires all episcopal elections to be confirmed by the other bishops meeting in Sacred Synod. This will be a public meeting and, should any member of the Church in Wales wish to draw any matter to the bishops? Attention in relation to this episcopal election, they are invited to attend the meeting in person."
An opportunity for Dr Barry Morgan to wear a laurel leaf crown as the Church in Wales enters her death throes?
