The Newsletter for Retired Clergy and their Families
No. 69
Easter 2015
From the Editor: Chancellor Brian H. Jones
A dramatic statement of the
Resurrection a commentary on the
creedal statement ‘he descended into
hell.’ The Risen Christ in that period
between Good Friday and the early
hours of Easter Day bringing the
Resurrection life to all who had gone
before, taking them on into the life of
God with him.
Dear Friends,
The Resurrection: icon of Victory
not only shows the Risen Lord and an
empty tomb but includes the descent
of Jesus into hell.
In the centre of the icon the Risen
Lord surrounded by the light which
symbolises the glory of God, stands
his right hand extended to grasp by
the wrist and raise to life the first
Adam. At his feet on his left Eve
looks expectantly waiting to be raised
to life – the second Adam to the fight,
and to the rescue came.
We look forward to the celebration of
the Resurrection with great hope, as
we wait to greet the Risen Lord on
Easter Day. This is the Victory of
Christ so prominent in the Passion
narrative of the Gospel of John, and
witnessed to by countless millions of Christians
over the generations since.
Surrounding the central figure are representations
of those who have predeceased the Christ. John the
Baptist is there together with a number of Old
Testament characters – Abel is represented as the
young shepherd boy.
Wishing you all the joy and peace of Easter.
Brian.

At the bottom of the icon the Cross, the symbol of
death is seen plunged into the open gates of Hades
which have been smashed wide open ‘Christ has
trampled death by death’, new life has broken into
the world. Lying around the base of the icon are
broken locks and chains, removed by the new life
brought by the Risen Christ.

In Memoriam Vaughan Lake

Continuing ministry.
We who are retired, consider it a privilege to have
the opportunity to share in the ministry of the
parishes in which we worship, and occasionally to
be able to be of assistance elsewhere. It may also
mean from time to time that we may be invited by
families in our former parishes to conduct the
funerals of former parishioners. This can be a very
delicate situation and we are asked to follow the
courtesies which we followed during our active
ministry, that of asking the incumbent of the parish
concerned for an opportunity to be present. If the
funeral is not in church but directly to the
crematorium we still need to tell the incumbent of
the parish concerned. The same courtesies would
apply if we are responding to the request of an
undertaker to minister at the funeral of a person
with no church association. By doing so we
preserve the good relations which the retireds have
with those still involved in active ministry. – B.H.J
Vaughan was a contemporary of mine at Ystrad
Meurig, Lampeter and Llandaff. Unlike most of us
his appearance never seemed to have changed
throughout all the years. Perhaps this was due to the
fact that he retained a crop of fair hair. He began
his ministry with a curacy at Barry, then St
Saviour's, Roath before a first incumbency from
1964-67 at Oakwood. From 1972 he was Rector of
Shirenewton and Newchurch in the diocese of
Monmouth until 1977 when he resigned to spend
the remainder of his working life in social work in
Swansea. In recent years he renewed his role as a
priest and assisted in various parishes in Gower,
particularly during interregnums. That his ministry
was greatly valued was evidenced by the large
congregation representative of so many Gower
parishes where he had taken services as well as the

made to be. He is marvelling at God’s creation.
Perfection consists simply in being just what God wants
us to be. Like the flowers, we are made for relationship
with God. We are made to turn to the light. We are made
for adoration.”
“What is Jesus doing in this painting? Nothing. This is
not wasteful idleness but contemplation. He is showing
us that we become most fully ourselves when we
become what he is, the adorer of God, the adorer of the
God who adores us.”
“Spencer conceived this image when he saw his infant
daughter crawling about in the grass looking at the
flowers. It may seem astonishing to liken God to a
toddler but it makes a connection between prayerfulness
and playfulness. God delights in the act of creation and
then in his enjoyment of it and of us. To be childlike, as
Christ is in this painting, is to enter fully into the eternal
now of each moment, into the presence of a God who
laughs and plays and loves and cares, clothing the
daisies of the field and who makes the wilderness of our
lives fertile and fruitful.”
Stanley Spencer’s series of paintings ‘Christ in the
Wilderness’ includes the above which Revd Mark
Griffiths used as a focus for meditation on Priesthood
at a Retreat for Retired Clergy at Llangasty in February
2015.
“Like Christ, the eternal Word, we are to be adorers.
Consider the lilies. Consider your vocation. God is
continuing each day to bring to perfection the good
work he has begun in you. A priest is paid to be
creatively unemployed! We pray on behalf of a world
which will not, but in so doing are drawing the world
back to its true self.”
“The purpose of priesthood is nothing less than the
fulfilment of Christ’s own ambition for the world – that
it may know God, and knowing him, may adore him.
The priest is called, before all else, to be what Christ is,
the adorer of God. Priests are consecrated to the service
of adoration.”
“The wilderness is the place where Christ goes to refine
and discover what it means for him to be God’s
suffering servant. Spencer’s paintings portray a
profound meditation on the disciplines and delights of
prayer and are about our vocation too, our longing to
find and know our true selves in God, to grow in
communion with him who is to be found in all places
and in the eternal now of each moment.”

My memories of St.
Jude’s –Geoffrey Thomas
“Spencer begins by subverting the text itself. These are
not lilies that Christ is considering but daisies. The
ordinary insignificant flowers grow in a desert which
has come to life with trees and grass, echoing the
prophetic themes of the desert blooming, and
foreshadowing flowering crosses and dead wood
breaking into blossom. More like Easter Day than
Lent.”
“Christ is shown like a great rock settled in the heart of
the landscape, blending in with the rocks of the desert.
But he is not a monument making us think we should
bow down before him. He is down on all fours gazing
in wonder at the daisies. He is at the same time huge and
humble. In the foreground some of the daisies are
turning their faces to him. The flowers that follow the
path of the sun are turning to the true light.”
St. Jude’s Church in Swansea was built in 1915
replacing a corrugated iron building and seating around
500 people. My connection with the church began with
my baptism 16th June, 1929 – apparently I did not cry,
perhaps I was learning to be quiet in church.! I began
attending Sunday School when I was five, this was held
in the vast Hall situated under the main body of the
church. The huge Sunday School under the watchful
eye of the Superintendent J.P. Morgan. In other parts of
this huge building there was a Ladies Bible Class and a
“Jesus is gazing at the flowers and delighting in them
for no other reason than they are what they have been

Men’s Bible Class. The last Sunday of July was set
aside as Sunday School Sunday when we sang the
hymns that we had practised for weeks before. In my
early days the curate was the Revd. Leslie Norman who
was to become vicar of Christ Church in Swansea.
stood at the north end for the Eucharist but celebrated
facing east. The Church Pastoral Aid Society gave a
grant for the parish to employ a Lay Worker, Miss
Dodson, her function being very much like that of the
pastoral care workers that we have today. Services
began to take on a different appearance, although it was
the evening service that was the best attended. A new
stained glass west window was installed
commemorating the 1939-45 war.
In 1936 we celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the church and all the children were presented with a
‘very small’ New Testament. When I was nine years
old my father came home from church and said that the
Vicar, Canon Watkin Davies who lived in grand style in
the Vicarage, with his wife and daughter wanted to see
me. I was ushered into the presence by the maid Amy.
The expected telling off didn’t happen and I was
presented with a leather bound Bible, which I still have,
signed by the Vicar with the inscription 1Tim. 6: 12 very appropriate!!
The Vicar was chaplain to the British Legion and the
choir and organist, Jim Barlow, would attend the
Festival of Remembrance in the Brangwyn Hall.
Curates of the parish at the time included Garfield
James, who went on to be Vicar of St. Michael’s
Manselton and Sketty, and Harold Edgar Williams later
Vicar of Newton and Archdeacon of Gower. Harry
Williams left the parish in 1950 to become Vicar of
Sketty.
On another occasion my father came home from church
to say that there would be a church council meeting as
Mary, the Canon’s daughter was home. Canon Davies,
his wife and daughter always sat together in Council
meetings. In 1941, shortly after the bombing of
Swansea began, the Vicar, his family and the maid Amy
departed to live in Llanybyther and we never saw him
again!!!
The parish was left in the charge of the curate, Revd.
Phil Rees, and he was in charge throughout the dark
days of the war. There was, I remember a large
contingent of R.A.F. men stationed locally undergoing
training at Mount Pleasant technical College. These
young men were required to present themselves for
Church Parade on a Sunday morning which swelled the
numbers. There were no social events because of
rationing and no more Youth Club.
He was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
He was succeeded by the Revd. Daniel Jones
Evans. He encouraged at least four young men to
be ordained – Brian Jones, Tudor Jones, Peter
Greenslade (ordained in St. Davids) and me. Dan
Evans encouraged me to be a Lay Reader before
seeking Ordination. One of my tasks was to take
services in Tawe Lodge which in those days was
the workhouse. This was a very happy time. I was
involved in the flourishing Drama Group, the
choir under Jim Barlow, the Youth Club and the
football club under Bill Ackland and Haydn
Charles.
One of my memories of Phil Rees was that he wrote his
sermons in bright blue ink, and before the service
rehearsed it in the Hall. He prepared a number of young
people for Confirmation, in those days candidates had
to be 16. I was one of those confirmed by Bishop
Edward Williamson, an austere man who spoke no
words to the candidates except the words of
Confirmation. He would advise the congregation to get
their coughing out of the way before he began his
sermon! It was much later that I learned that bishops
are human!!!
Eventually the war ended and the parish was informed
that a new vicar was to be appointed. Parishioners sent
a ‘round robin’ to the bishop asking that Phil Rees be
appointed. I do not know what the reply was but Phil
Rees was appointed Vicar of Lower Chapel and on
February 1st, 1946 Harry Craven Williams was inducted
as vicar.
In 1958 I left St. Jude’s to train for Ordination in
St. Michael’s College Llandaff, and after
ordination curate of Llansamlet with Brynmor
Williams as my vicar and mentor. I followed this
with a period in Jos in Nigeria, which at the
moment is going through a very difficult period. I
came home to be Vicar of St. Nicholas, Townhill
which had been a daughter church of St. Jude’s so
Dan Evans became my neighbour and colleague.
It was also the day that I began work as an office boy –
a day of new beginnings for me and for the parish. There
were changes in the services, e.g. the vicar no longer

live or worship there. So, on my first day in HMP
Liverpool at my security briefing, I was told, “We don’t
care how they do things in other places, we do it the
Liverpool way.” Years later, I had cause to be grateful
for the thoroughness of their training. Not all
establishments are so thorough. Prisons are, of course,
staffed by local inhabitants so that they manifest
something of the character of the surrounding area.
Dan always ended his sermons by looking at his
watch and saying ‘finally my friends, and this very
briefly…’ and I will conclude my recollections in
the same way. Shrove Tuesday was always an
important occasion in St. Jude’s and Dan often
invited two men from Gower Jac and Wil. One of
their most requested hymns was ‘ Pwy fydd yma
mewn can mlynedd’ (who will be here in one
hundred years?) Sadly after the 8th February, 2015,
just short of the one hundredth anniversary of the
opening of the church the answer has to be no-one!

Chaplains, however, have formal responsibility to the
diocesan bishop as well as to the Governor of their
prison. Perhaps it is not surprising that relations
between chaplains and other prison staff can sometimes
be uneasy and need to be worked out in practice, usually
successfully since chaplains and officers (unlike
governors) tend to share the same work space and are
thus visible to each other. But it is sad that relations
between chaplains and some diocesan bishops are
virtually non-existent. Unlike the Roman Catholic and
Methodist churches, the Church of England has no
publicly stated policy on prison chaplaincy so that
chaplains are dependent upon the vision and
thoroughness of their diocesan bishop. Ironically, even
in our plural society, the Anglican chaplain is still a
mandatory appointment to every prison. I should say
that both Judith and I were extremely fortunate in our
diocesans, who ensured that we were not forgotten or
ignored.
(I am grateful to Geoffrey for his memories of St. Jude’s and
the wonderful worshipping community of which we were all
part. Geoffrey and Margaret were married there and it was a
great joy for me to be their best man.-Ed.)

(Reflecting on the ministry of those ordained in the Diocese
and who were involved in specialist ministry outside)
When I was in
prison….
Anglican prison chaplains are the only clerics whose
duties are detailed in law; (military chaplains minister
under Queen’s Regulations.) These statutory duties are
to conduct divine worship every Sunday and on major
festivals, to meet all newly received prisoners as soon
as possible, and to daily visit all prisoners in the health
care centre where there is one, and all prisoners
segregated for their own or others’ safety. In practice,
these duties are shared with chaplains of other faiths and
denominations, while there are numerous other
activities not specified in the Prisons Act (1952).
Chaplains can often find themselves offering pastoral
support to prisoners’ families as well as to prisoners
themselves, especially in the case of first sentence.
Families often fear the worst, based on TV programmes
like “Bad Girls”. Prisoners themselves bring their own
anxieties, ranging from those who are carers for invalid
relatives to concerns about their accommodation and the
threat of homelessness after release. The care of pets
frequently causes anguish; Judith once had to ring a
prisoner’s friends and neighbours to ensure that a pet
parrot was fed. The powerlessness of the prisoner’s
situation and the pressure on prison officers is such that
chaplains are usually the ones who deal with these
problems.
Chaplains can also find themselves
ministering to other prison staff for their job is a fraught
and potentially dangerous one and some are haunted by
such things as the discovery of suicides and the violence
of prison riots. It is a reminder that we are chaplains to
prisons, not simply to prisoners.
……or, rather, when we were in prison. To make it
clear, Judith, my wife, and I were both prison chaplains.
In fourteen years I ministered in every type of penal
establishment, starting at HMP Liverpool and finishing
at HMP Bristol, then a category A local prison. Judith
began her prison ministry at Bristol with a month on
detached duty at HMP Parc before going to HMP
Eastwood Park, a women’s prison north of Bristol,
where she stayed for twelve years. The subject of
women and prison and of ministry to them deserves an
article to itself so from here on I shall write out of my
own experience.
The words Church in Wales or Church of England on
the notice board at the church gate are not necessarily a
guide to what goes on inside; similarly all prisons
operate as part of Her Majesty’s Prison Service but have
little common with each other except in their formal and
bureaucratic aspects. So my experience is different from
Judith’s and different again from that of Lionel
Hopkins. Again, prisons are similar to churches as
institutions, in that both are partly a product of their
history, of the people who work there and those who
5
Similarly, when a relative dies it is often the chaplain
who checks the veracity of the information and informs
the prisoner of their loss. This is a ministry in itself since
reactions cannot be predicted and there may be
subsequent pastoral support if the prisoner wants it,
including a service in the chapel when attendance at the
funeral is not possible.
place of mountains, waterfalls and lakes. A place
which had a sign saying ‘Welcome to Paradise’ at
the entrance to the Valley – often called the
Switzerland of the east.
Malala’s father was a very intelligent and educated
man who was most active in establishing schools
after graduating in both bachelor’s and master’s
degrees in English. This he did with the help of
friends and they became centres of excellence in
the Swat Valley until the Taliban forces moved
right into the heart of the nation’s capital –
Islamabad. Life changed for the inhabitants of
Pakistan – women were called the Burqa Brigade –
trained to attack shops and bazaars and then to
become suicide bombers. Malala says that she tried
to distract herself from all the fear that surrounded
them by reading Stephen Hawking’s book – A Brief
History of Time’ which answered big questions
such as how the universe began and whether time
could run backwards? She already wished it could
and she was only eleven years old at the time!
My doctoral research revealed that the majority of
Anglican chaplains consider themselves to be liberal
catholic and I locate myself in that group. Theological
extremes tend to exclude and, in a total institution like
a prison, ministry needs to be as inclusive as possible.
While the broad mainstream of Anglicanism helps to
answer this need, the chaplain must also value the range
of beliefs and faith practices which prisoners bring with
them, building a bridge between the traditions and
practice of the Church and the vernacular values of the
wider world. In this sense, perhaps, chaplains are some
way ahead of the church in the world, as in friendly cooperation with other faith ministers.
Prison chaplains meet people who would rarely, if ever,
think or dare to enter a church. Since most prisoners are
male, they also meet the gender group least represented
in church congregations. So there is a sense in which
prison chaplains (many of whom are civil servants by
status) are pioneers and ambassadors for the broader
church of Christ.
Peter Phillips
It was at this time that Malala was asked to write a
diary of the life of a schoolgirl under the rule of the
Taliban using the pseudonym Gul Makai and her
first diary entry appeared on January 3rd, 2009
headed ‘I am afraid.’ From that time on Malala
found herself being a spokesperson for the right of
education for girls. Her public image at such a
young age was what finally led to the gunman on
the school bus asking ‘who is Malala?’ and firing
the gunshots which almost killed her in October
2012.

prison at Shepton Mallet following earlier service at Usk and
Bristol. In retirement he has researched prison chaplaincy at
MA and PhD level.)

an opportunity to introduce startling changes. Harry was
content to speak movingly of the privilege of serving
God in the office of chorister and comparing his
situation with that of a former choir boy who gave his
life for his country in the first World War. At the
conclusion of the service the Dean presented the Boy
Bishop with his stipend, intended to cover the cost of
candles used in the Christmas season. Since the Middle
Ages this has been set at 2 pence. In acknowledgement
of the ravages of inflation the Dean this year generously
increased the payment to 3 pence.

Eleanor, was married in Brecon Cathedral and her

was selected to be this year’s Boy Bishop, a
position he then held until Epiphany 2015.

The Chrism Eucharist
The office of Boy Bishop at Hereford dates back to
the thirteenth century. At an impressive ceremony
in Advent, in the presence of the Diocesan Bishop,
Dean and Chapter and the Lord Mayor and
dignitaries of the city, a choir boy is chosen to serve
as Boy Bishop from December to January 6th. At
Evensong during the singing of the Magnificat, as
the choir sing the words “he hath put down the
mighty from their seats”, a verger leads the
diocesan bishop from his throne to a simple stall in
the chancel and his place is taken by the Boy
Bishop. This symbolic action was much
appreciated by Richard, the present bishop, who
had been enthroned Bishop of Hereford only two
weeks earlier. The readings at the service told the
story of the boy Samuel in the temple and the
gospel reading of Jesus taking a child and telling
The Chrism Eucharist is in the Cathedral on

years we are grateful to Bishop John for the

is alb/surplice/cotta and white stole.
After the service there will be a light lunch, and
those who intend staying for the lunch are asked to

we renew our Ordination vows, but one of the few
occasions during the year when we meet with the

Defence agreed to the proposal and local
businesses provided the means of setting up the

The battalion was formed and was linked to the

Fr. Mark the parish priest of St. Gabriel’s was
involved in the project in collaboration with the
local group and the British Legion. He dedicated
the memorial on the last Sunday of the year and in

and played in a football match. After the
dedication a group of young men played a short
game of football also in commemoration,
When in 1889 St. Gabriel’s Church in Brynmill
was built. Colonel Llewellyn Morgan who had
given the land for the new church insisted that a gap
should be left in the houses opposite the church so
that the new church could be seen clearly from the
Mumbles Road. It also meant that residents could
have access to the Recreation Ground.
The intention is that either side of the walk will be
planted with shrubs and flowers restoring the
whole site to its former glory, but with the added
poignancy of a memorial for young men who had
volunteered for service in World War 1.
The above contemporary photograph shows what
came to be known as St. Gabriel’s walk showing
the church clearly between the gap in the houses
and people strolling up and down the walk. Either
side of the walkway as we can see were flower beds
and shrubs. Over the years the whole area had
fallen into disrepair, and although the walkway
remains it had little to commend it. That is, until
the centenary of the first World War began to be
celebrated and a group of local people thought that
this gave an opportunity for the refurbishment of
the site.
It was decided to replace a fountain that had been
in the Recreation Ground and to site it at the bottom
of the St. Gabriel’s Walk. The fountain was
eventually found in a City of Swansea scrap yard
and the process of refurbishment began.

The fountain was renovated and repainted and
placed at the bottom of the walk way where the

siting is very interesting as it is alongside the
boundary wall of the St,.Helen’s Rugby Ground.
The ground itself has close links historically with
World War 1. In 1914 the then Mayor of Swansea
decided that Swansea should provide a battalion of
soldiers to help in the conflict. It was decided that
the rugby ground would be an ideal place for the
recruiting of soldiers for the battalion. The
directors of the Swansea Rugby Club agreed to
suspend all fixtures in the ground while the war
lasted and handed over the ground to the town
