Bishop Rowan Williams

This week at St Mary’s, we welcome the Anglican Dominicans Blackfriars Group, and on Wednesday evening at 7.30pm they are joined by Bishop Rowan Williams, an event to which all are welcome.

Bishop Rowan Williams joins us to lead an enlightening discussion on the contemporary issues facing the church. Bishop Rowan will delve into the challenges and opportunities surrounding church attendance in recent decades.

Bishop Williams will explore whether the church needs to better proclaim the gospel message or are there deeper, more fundamental issues at play. He will also address the role of preaching and teaching in the modern church’s mission of evangelisation, especially in a society where theological literacy is no longer a given.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain profound insights and engage in meaningful dialogue about the future of the church.


Summer Praise & Strawberry Tea

Come and sing your favourite hymns (let us know before the day who you would like to sing!) and enjoy a Strawberry Tea afterwards on Sunday 7 July at 4pm at Ss Dyfrig and Samson. Get in touch to find out more.


Faithful Butetown Welcome
