Bishop

‘Bishop’ comes from the Greek word for ‘overseer’. So a bishop is a senior Christian minister authorised to have oversight for God’s people. As well as duties given to deacons and priests, bishops confirm and ordain.

Diocese

‘Diocese’ refers to the geographical territory in which a bishop exercises oversight. The Church in Wales is divided into six dioceses each with its own cathedral in which is housed the cathedra (the bishop’s ‘chair’ or ‘throne’).

Church leaders invited to global summit

Provincial news Posted: 4 January 2021

People who hold leadership roles in their church or community are invited to attend a leadership summit to hear from international experts next week.

The Church in Wales is hosting a Global Leadership Network (GLN) summit on January 11 and there are a few places left which are now being offered more widely. The deadline for applications is Wednesday.

The summit includes talks from six key speakers: Amy Edmondson, Marcus Buckingham, Vanessa Van Edwards, Bishop T. D. Jakes, Sadie Robertson Huff and Craig Groeschel.

Every year, tens of thousands of people from all over the world attend leadership summits organised by the Global Leadership Network (GLN). Each Church in Wales diocese has been allocated a fixed number of places, but we are now able to offer the places which remain free to anyone who is part of a church leadership team, training for leadership, or holds a leadership position within their community.

To book your place at the Summit please email cmdadmin@stpadarns.ac.uk no later that January 6th.
