Welcome! Croeso!
to Forward in Faith Wales
A voice for traditional believers
in the Church in Wales
We uphold:
the faith handed down from Christ by the apostles:
the faith of St. David and all the saints of Wales:
the faith of the historic mainstream of Anglican Christians |
|
WE CONFESS JESUS CHRIST
AS THE ONE AND ONLY SAVIOUR AND LORD.
WE PROCLAIM HIM AS THE GOOD NEWS FOR ALL PEOPLE And so we affirm traditional Christian teaching on life and behaviour. We are committed to the sacredness of life, the holiness of marriage, and to an approach to human sexuality consistent with the teaching of the Lord and his apostles as passed down in Scripture and the tradition of the Church. We believe that men and women are equal in Christ, but have different roles and responsibilities. We stand by the teaching of the universal and undivided Church on Holy Order, and are unable to accept the ordination of women to the priesthood and episcopate. We work and pray for the reunion of all Christians on the basis of the Catholic faith of the undivided Church as received from Christ through the apostles, based on Scripture as the Word of God for all times.
We join with all men and women of good will in striving for a just and harmonious society, and the right stewardship of God's creation.
We take as a summary of our aims the words of St David, Patron of Wales: BE JOYFUL: KEEP THE FAITH !Fr Alan Rabjohns (Chairman) 18 September 2008 The Chairman of Credo Cymru, Forward in Faith Wales, The Revd Alan Rabjohns, commenting on the statement yesterday that the Bench of Bishops would not be appointing a replacement Provincial Assistant Bishop, said ‘This is a disappointing and sad statement. We particularly regret that it comes from an incomplete Bench, giving those to be appointed to the dioceses of Bangor and St Asaph over the next months no say in the matter. We reject the claim that such an appointment is unnecessary and do not regard what was said yesterday as the final word on this subject.’
