Anglican

Anglicans form the family of Christians closely related to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Whilst tracing their inheritance back to Christ and the earliest Christians and to the ancient Roman Catholic church, the sixteenth century Reformation was a crucial moment for Anglicanism.

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’).

Vocations

The Anglican church in the Diocese of St Davids is a Christian community which seeks to be “service shaped”.

We need followers of Christ’s way to be Servants:

  • Servants for Christ
  • Servants for his Church
  • Servants for his people

God calls all his people to Christian service.

What is your particular calling?

Someone might have already commented about a particular skill of yours which God could use in his church.

St Davids needs Christians to serve as:

  • a presence in the work-place
  • Community Volunteers
  • Church Officers
  • Eucharistic Assistants
  • Prayer Partners
  • Lesson Readers and Interceders in worship
  • Worship Leaders
  • Musicians
  • Lay Readers
  • Children and Youth Workers
  • Ministry in a bilingual context
  • Priests (Non Stipendiary)
  • Priests (Stipendiary)

The Diocesan Communications Team has produced a series of short videos about vocation with people who have followed a variety of journeys in faith and who have responded to a call.

What to do now?

Take time to pray about what you are thinking and feeling. Talk to a trusted friend. Ask others to pray for you – and with you.

If you would like to meet with someone to explore God’s call for your life, speak to your vicar and contact a vocations adviser.
