Credoau, Cynghorau a Nyth Cacwn
Nos Fercher 28 Chwefror
am 6.00pm
Fel rhan o’n digwyddiadau nos Fercher yn ystod y Grawys, ac mewn cyswllt â’n cyfres bregethu dros y Grawys, bydd Canon Robin Ward yn rhoi sgwrs ar-lein o dan y teitl Credoau, Cynghorau a Nyth Cacwn: Cwrs gloywi am yr Eglwys Fore. Bydd y sgwrs yn mynd â ni ar daith drwy’r cyfnod patristig, gan ein haddysgu am ddiwinyddion allweddol y cyfnod hwn, a hyd yn oed am sut yr arweiniodd siantiau a ganwyd gan ddocwyr yn Alexandria at ledaeniad heresïau ar draws yr Ymerodraeth Rufeinig. Bydd cyfleoedd i ofyn cwestiynau ac i drafod y cyfnod hynod ddiddorol a ffurfiannol hwn yn hanes yr Eglwys.
Ein siaradwr, Robin Ward, yw Pennaeth Tŷ San Steffan, coleg diwinyddol Anglicanaidd yn Rhydychen y bu i’n His-Ganon ei fynychu. Bu Canon Ward yn gweinidogaethu mewn plwyfi yn Llundain a Chaint am bymtheng mlynedd, a derbyniodd radd doethur gan Goleg y Brenin, Llundain. Mae’n aelod o’r Gyfadran Diwinyddiaeth a Chrefydd ym Mhrifysgol Rhydychen, ac yn ganon mygedol yng Nghadeirlan Rochester.

The latest news from Saint Deiniol's Cathedral in Bangor and the Ministry Area of Bro Deiniol
Place our Holy Week 2024 observances in your diary today
Our observance of Holy Week at Saint Deiniol’s Cathedral this year is accompanied by R. S. Thomas, a priest-poet of the Diocese of Bangor and one of the 20th century’s great religious writers.
As a steady beat to our Holy Week, a devotional observance rich in worship and music is offered at the Cathedral every evening at 6.00pm from Palm Sunday to Easter Eve. Distinguished poets and scholars will guide our devotions; and this year’s musical commission, premiered on the evening of Good Friday, is Alex Mills’s There Was a Garden – a choral setting of unpublished and previously unseen poems by R. S. Thomas drawn from his manuscripts held in the archive of the R. S. Thomas Study Centre at Bangor University.

Creeds, Councils and Controversies: A refresher on the Early Church
Wednesday 28 February
at 6.00pm
As part of our Wednesday events during Lent, and in connection to our Lent sermon series, we welcome Canon Robin Ward this coming Wednesday evening to deliver an online talk entitled Creeds, Councils and Controversies: A refresher on the Early Church. The talk will take us on a journey through the patristic period, and we will learn about the key theologians of this time, and even discover how chants sung by dockers in Alexandria led to the spread of heresies across the Roman Empire. There will be opportunities to ask questions and to discuss this fascinating and formational period in the history of the Church.
Our speaker, Canon Robin Ward, is the Principal of St Stephen’s House, an Anglican theological college in Oxford, attended by our Minor Canon. Canon Ward worked in parish ministry in London and Kent for 15 years, and obtained a Ph.D. from King’s College London. He is a member of the Faculty of Theology & Religion at the University of Oxford, and an honorary canon of Rochester Cathedral.
