Do like to be beside the Dee-side
posted by John Davies at 2:24 PM
There is no barrier between two worlds in the Church,
The Church militant on earth
Is one with the Church triumphant in heaven,
And the saints are in this Church which is two in one.
They come to worship with us, our small congregation,
The saints our oldest ancestors
Who built Wales on the foundation
Of the Crib, the Cross and the Empty Tomb...
The words of D. Gwenallt Jones which open the terrific prayer-poem 'Dewi Sant' (trans. St David), set me on my way down to Bangor is y Coed (trans. Bangor below the wood, otherwise known as Bangor on Dee) where tonight sometime commentor-on-this-website Adrian becomes their rector.
