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’).
Prayer
Prayer sustains our human relationship with God and may involve words (formal or informal) or be silent. Prayer can involve adoration (‘I love you’), confession (‘sorry’), thanksgiving and supplication (‘please’).
2021: The Year of Prayer

The next year has been designated by the Church in Wales - and by St Davids Diocese - as the Year of Prayer. Future years will be dedicated to discipleship and pilgrimage. That’s not to say, of course, that we only need to pray for a year! But 2021 will have prayer as its special focus.

BEYOND HOPE: Tackling the lockdown legacy
Allchurches Trust has launched a grants programme – Hope Beyond - aimed at enabling churches and Christian charities to meet changing needs within their communities as the longer term impact of Covid-19 becomes clearer.

Up to £50,000 is available for projects that will enable people, organisations and communities to flourish in life after lockdown,
The Hope Beyond grants programme will look to address three themes:
Projects responding to the issues of loneliness and isolation exacerbated by the Coronavirus pandemic where new and/or enhanced support is being proposed.
Projects focused on growing community resilience and promoting mental and emotional health and wellbeing
Projects focused on growing technological capability and resilience and supporting those without online access to get online through training and support.
