BBC News - Churches and chapels in Wales 'may unite'

Churches and chapels in Wales 'may unite'

Congregations are falling and resources are tight for many churches and chapels

Churches and chapels in Wales are being asked to discuss radical proposals which could result in closer unity.

Five denominations - including the Church in Wales, Presbyterians and Methodists - could ultimately share bishops, ministers and buildings.

The proposed Church Uniting in Wales would also include Presbyterians and some Baptists.

A conference in Aberystwyth will discuss the plans in response to declining funds and congregations.

The event on Saturday, called The Gathering, brings together five denominations known as the five Covenanted Churches in Wales.

The group - which together have 2,500 churches - was set up in the 1970s with the aim of working more closely together.

But economic concerns are prompting discussions of even closer unity to share resources and governance at a time when many congregations are dwindling and money is tight.

The proposal is also aimed at giving the churches a stronger shared voice in the political arena.

“Our lack of unity does not help our message of reconciliation”

Dr Barry Morgan Archbishop of Wales

If given the go-ahead, a new breed of bishops would be created and be interchangeable between all denominations in the united group.

Ordained ministers would also be free to serve in all churches and chapels in the Church Uniting in Wales.

Under the plans to share resources and buildings, however, no church or chapel would be forced to close or merge and there would be no obligation to take part in the sharing of clergy.

Also, within the group, the individual denominations would remain.

A spokeswoman for the Presbyterian Church of Wales said the plans were "quite new and quite radical".

"All the denominations are realising we are getting smaller numbers but we do have strengths and resources remaining so it's a case of working out how best to use the resources," she said.

"For example, in some towns you might have two churches and a chapel. They might have a vicar but no-one in the chapel.

"If the churches united, the vicar could also serve the chapel."

She added that it was "important" for the churches to be seen to be working together and that united they would have a "stronger voice".

'A way forward'

The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, said Saturday's conference would see the "largest ecumenical gathering in Wales for many years".

"Our lack of unity does not help our message of reconciliation," he said.

"I hope that we can find a way forward together as churches in Wales."

The Rev Gethin Abraham-Williams, chair of the Commission of Covenanted Churches, added that he hoped the conference would lead to the creation of a new "ecclesial community committed to common mission in the world'."

A set of reports outlining the plans for more unity will be launched at The Gathering on Saturday.

Official representatives from each of the five Covenanted Churches will then take them back to their local churches and will respond to the recommendations.

In July, a report said that the Church in Wales needed to reform and modernise to secure its future and one of the recommendations was for it to work more closely with other denominations.

The study by three leading Anglicans highlighted "very low morale" in some parishes and said the situation was one of "dire seriousness".

It looked at how the church could adapt to cope with the decline in clergy, falling congregations, a surplus number of churches and a large repair bill for its buildings.

     Well tonite is the first Presidential debate. It will be the fist time that Romney and Obama debate live. To me it is the fist time that Obama can not hide behind his misleading ads to avoid his dismal economic situation over the last four years.
      Obama attacked on Romney taxes and the IRS showed that yes he did pay more than people making $50,000! The question is should we judge a person running for the White House on a level that is higher than what we do. I do not now one person that will try to lower his/her taxes by using reductions and loop holes. How many people that are rich would not place money in off shore accounts. On top of going at Romney for being rich which he earned why is it that no one looks at how rich Obama, Reid and Pelosi  are and what they do with their money.
       I predicted by this blog religion is playing again in the political arena! Black Ministers and Churches Association have asked their members not to vote for Obama because of his stance on marriage! Catholics are upset with position on contraceptives and today actually saying Catholic policy is actually just the opinion of the Pope! Questions have arisen again about Obamas relationship with his radical minister's positions. Obama people have called to tell Christian's not to vote for a Mormon as he is not Christian. This either is a lack of knowledge by those followers or they are playing on Christians not understanding Mormonism.
        Age old questions also arise. The vote just because you are a Republican or Democratic! I have heard again the age old saying "I have voted Democratic all my life and so did my parents." Why should I change? That is an interesting thought when the parties have changed over the years. Democrats were the party of the south advocating KKK and slavery, but now the party of the blacks. Racism is a common word around these days. It seems that anyone that opposes Obama is a racist. In some ways the meaning of the word has gone! Blacks will vote for Obama because he is black, just like republicans will vote republican because that is what we have always done. One wonders where the free thinking people have gone? Just like religion many go to the polls leaving their brains behind. They have fooled the liberal press and overlook things like the "Fast and Furious" that gave guns to drug lords. They overlook that it states on Obama's birth certificate that he was "Afro-American" in 1961 yet the term was not coined till the late 60s or early 70's. Strange is it not?
        My position is this it is not a Black or White situation the color of a mans skin is not the situation. It is not a Christian Muslim or Mormon question. It is who best can lead this country in the next four years. We have seen what Obama has done or not done and have seen that it has failed this country. I do not feel that he has brought change and there still is many questions about his Marxist and Socialist ideas, his background, His bowing to foreign heads of state etc. This evening we will see what is presented.  Will update this blog after the debate! Thanks!

Update: Romney won the debate hands down!
