The Venerable Mones Farah (Archdeacon for New Church Communities)

Lay Persons His Honour Judge Andrew Keyser QC Mr Matthew Corbett Jones Mrs Lorna Mills (to 31 December 2020)

Lay Persons (Under 30 years of age) Mr Jacob Martin

Bangor, fel yr aelod (clerigol) ychwanegol. Disgwylir i’r ddau gynrychiolydd fynychu ACC 17 yn Hong Kong ar 28 Ebrill 2019.

ADRODDIAD YR IS-BWYLLGOR BUSNES 14. Derbyniodd y Pwyllgor Sefydlog adroddiadau oddi wrth yr Is-bwyllgor Busnes ar

faterion a drafodwyd yn ei gyfarfodydd ar 31 Hydref 2018 a 24 Ionawr 2019.

Adolygiad o Gyfarfod Medi 2018 y Corff Llywodraethol 15. Adolygodd yr is-bwyllgor gyfarfod y Corff Llywodraethol a gynhaliwyd ym Medi 2018. 16. Yn ystod yr adolygiad o’r cyfarfod diwethaf ym mis Medi, ystyriodd a derbyniodd y

Pwyllgor gyngor yr Is-bwyllgor Busnes ynghylch lleoliad cyfarfodydd Medi 2019 a Medi 2020 o’r Corff Llywodraethol, gan ei fod yn ymwybodol bod y Corff Llywodraethol wedi penderfynu cynnal y ddau gyfarfod ym Mhrifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant, Llanbedr Pont Steffan.

17. Roedd yr Is-bwyllgor Busnes wedi mynegi pryderon difrifol ynghylch y posibilrwydd o

ddefnyddio Prifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant, Llanbedr Pont Steffan ar gyfer cyfarfod y Corff Llywodraethol ym Medi 2019. Nodwyd bod anawsterau technegol parhaus yn Neuadd y Celfyddydau, a bod cwynion wedi bod gan rai aelodau ynghylch y llety. Hefyd, yn sgil difrod llifogydd diweddar i Neuadd y Celfyddydau, roedd perygl na fyddai’r lleoliad ar gael ym Medi 2019.

18. Felly, mae’r pwyllgor wedi cymeradwyo canslo’r trefniadau presennol ym Mhrifysgol

Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant, Llanbedr Pont Steffan ar gyfer y ddau gyfarfod hyn, ac wedi awdurdodi llogi Campws Bae Abertawe ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe ar gyfer y dyddiadau hyn.

Mae aelodau’r Corff Llywodraethol wedi cael gwybod am y newid hwn.

Cyfarfod y Corff Llywodraethol yn Ebrill 2019 19. Ar gyngor yr Is-bwyllgor Busnes cytunodd y Pwyllgor Sefydlog ar drefn y cyfarfod fel y

nodwyd yn yr Agenda. 20. Hysbyswyd y Pwyllgor fod y Cynnig Aelodau Preifat a nodwyd gan Archddiacon

Llandaf yn barod i’w drafod gan y Corff Llywodraethol. Hefyd, nododd y Pwyllgor mai cyfrifoldeb Esgob yr Esgobaeth oedd polisi ordeinio.

21. Hysbyswyd y Pwyllgor y byddai Cynllun Cadeirlan Llandaf yn cael ei roi gerbron y

Corff Llywodraethol ym mis Mai i’w awdurdodi. Mae’n broses ar wahân eto’n gysylltiedig â’r Bil i ddiwygio Cynlluniau Cadeirlannau Cyfansoddiad yr Eglwys yng Nghymru yn fwy cyffredinol. Bydd y Bil, a fydd yn cael ei adrodd i’r Corff Llywodraethol ym mis Medi yn galluogi Cadeirlannau i bennu trefniadau llywodraethu heb orfod dychwelyd at y Corff Llywodraethol i gael ei awdurdodi. Bryd hynny, y bwriad yw y bydd unrhyw gynllun Cadeirlan unigol a gymeradwywyd ar wahân gan y

16. In the course of the review of last September’s meeting, the Committee consideredand accepted the advice of the Business Sub-committee about the location of theSeptember 2019 and September 2020 meeting of the Governing Body, as it wasaware that the Governing Body had recently made a decision on this subject infavour of meeting in University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, Lampeter for thesetwo meetings.

17. The Business Sub-committee had expressed serious concerns about the possibility ofusing University of Wales, Trinity Saint David in Lampeter for the Governing Bodymeeting in September 2019. It was noted that there were ongoing technicaldifficulties in the Arts Hall, and that there had been complaints from some membersabout the accommodation. In addition, damage caused to the Art Hall by recentflooding meant that there was a risk that the venue might not be available forSeptember 2019.

18. For these reasons the committee has approved the cancellation of the currentbookings at University of Wales, Trinity Saint David Lampeter for these twomeetings, and authorised the booking of the Swansea Bay Campus at SwanseaUniversity for these dates.

27. Hefyd, gresynodd y Pwyllgor orfod nodi eitem ar yr agenda yn Adroddiad yr Is-

bwyllgor Busnes ynghylch ymddygiad aelod arall yn y cyfarfod diwethaf nad oedd yn cyfateb i’r safon sy’n ddisgwyliedig gan aelod o’r Corff Llywodraethol. Dywedodd y Pwyllgor y dylid hysbysu aelodau pe bai hyn yn digwydd yn y dyfodol, y byddai ymddygiad y cyfryw aelodau yn cael ei adrodd yn ôl i’w hesgobaethau a’u hesgob esgobaethol.

Sefydlog yw’r cyfrwng i lywio newid yn yr Eglwys yng Nghymru, y byddai amserau cyfarfod â mwy o ffocws yn fuddiol er mwyn i aelodau ystyried gwaith y Pwyllgor yn fwy strategol, a hefyd hyrwyddo penderfyniadau ar fwy o faterion ymarferol. Mae’r Pwyllgor yn bwriadu cynnal cyfarfod dros nos ym mis Gorffennaf i hwyluso hyn. Fel rhan o’r broses hon, mae’r Fainc yn cynnig y dylid ystyried adolygiad ehangach ar lywodraethu. I’r perwyl hwn, mae’r Pwyllgor yn bwriadu ystyried cylch gorchwyl ac aelodaeth Gweithgor i adolygu trefniadau llywodraethu yn ei gyfarfod nesaf.

PRESENTATIONS FROM BANGOR DIOCESE TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE 32. The Committee has informed the Governing Body previously that each Diocese is

taking the opportunity to present good practice, or something that works particularly well in a diocese, to the Standing Committee so that success may be shared or lessons learned to the benefit of the wider Church. At the meeting in November 2018 the Bishop of Bangor, together with his Bishop’s Council, the Very Reverend Kathy Jones, Dean of Bangor; the Venerable Mary Stallard, Archdeacon of Bangor, the Venerable Andrew Jones, Archdeacon of Meirionnydd, the Venerable Andy Herrick, Archdeacon of Anglesey and Mr Siôn Rhys Evans, Diocesan Secretary, made a presentation from the diocese of Bangor to the Standing Committee, and members were able to ask questions and comment.

REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN THE CHURCH IN WALES 33. In 2016 the Standing Committee established the current Working Group chaired by

Dr Gill Todd to review the position on the representation of women in the Church in Wales and report to Governing Body in 2019 – some ten years on from the original report, and responding to the Committee’s agreed programme for action from parts of the Church following the 2015 Report.

34. In discussion of the Report the Committee noted that Dr Todd and the Group

hoped to take account of the new evidence identified recently as part of the Clergy Remuneration Survey and to update the report accordingly before final publication. The Report is to come before the Governing Body at this meeting.

MEETINGS, ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE 35. The Chair has consulted the Standing Committee on ways in which it might work

more effectively to support the mission of the Church. In recent times various ways of improving the work and practice of the committee have been tested, to enable more effective planning of the direction of the Governing Body and in revitalising the work of the Church. The Committee has met in smaller discussion groups, and received and discussed information about diocesan strategies including presentations from the dioceses.

36. It was suggested that, as the Church in Wales Review confirmed the Standing

Committee as the vehicle for driving change in the Church in Wales, more focussed meeting time would benefit members in reflecting more strategically on the work of the Committee, in addition to more regular practical matters brought for decision. The Committee is planning to hold an overnight meeting in July to facilitate this. As part of this process, the Bench proposes that a broader review of governance be considered. To this end, the Committee intends to consider the terms of reference and membership of a Working Group to review governance at its next meeting.

Atodiad 3

Pennod I: Cyffredinol a diffinio a dehongli

Part II: Diffinio a Dehongli

7.

Yn y Cyfansoddiad hwn, gan gynnwys y Rheoliadau, ac eithrio pan ddarperir yn wahanol, bydd i’r geiriau a’r cymalau a ganlyn yr ystyron a ganlyn:

“Cymunwr conffyrmiedig” sef rhywun a dderbyniodd ddefnod sacramentaidd conffyrmasiwn.

“Ardal Weinidogaeth/Ardal Genhadaeth” sef plwyf neu grŵp o blwyfi a ffurfiwyd er cyhoeddi’r Efengyl yn effeithiol mewn ardal benodol gyda gweinyddiaeth gyffredin fel y’i diffinnir gan unrhyw Orchymyn Esgobaethol.

NB Diben y Gwelliant Cyfansoddiadol arfaethedig hwn i Bennod I o Gyfrol 1 y Cyfansoddiad yw setlo’r diffiniadau o ‘gymunwr conffyrmiedig’ ac ‘ardaloedd gweinidogaeth a chenhadaeth’ i osgoi amheuaeth.

Appendix 3

Chapter I: General and definitions and interpretation

Part II: Definitions and Interpretation

7.

In this Constitution including the Regulations, except where otherwise expressly provided, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:

“Confirmed Communicant” means a person who has received the sacramental rite of confirmation.

“Ministry Area/Mission” Area means a parish or group of parishes formed for the effective proclamation of the Gospel in a particular area with a common administration as defined by any Diocesan Decree.

NB The purpose of this proposed Constitutional Amendment to Chapter I of Volume 1 of the Constitution is to settle the definitions of a ‘confirmed communicant’ and ‘ministry and mission areas’ for the avoidance of doubt.

Chapter IVC: Parochial Administration

Part III: The Parochial Church Council

8.

Powers and Duties

(1) In every Parish there shall be a Parochial Church Council (“the Council”), which shallmeet at least four times in every year.

(2) It shall be the duty of the Incumbent and the Council to consult together and co-operate in all matters of concern and importance to the Parish.

(3) The functions of the Council unless Except in the case of a Cathedral where theCathedral Scheme or the Cathedral’s Constitution and Regulations state otherwise thefunctions of the Council shall include:

(a) promotion of the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social andecumenical, in the Parish;

Y rheswm am y gwelliant cyfansoddiadol arfaethedig hwn i Bennod IV C y Cyngor Plwyf Eglwysig 8 (3) yw bod rhai cadeirlannau yn blwyfi hefyd, ac mae’r gwelliant hwn yn sicrhau nad oes cymalau cyfansoddiadol yn cystadlu yn erbyn ei gilydd mewn perthynas â’r ddarpariaeth hon.

(6) The Council shall be the normal channel of communication between the parishionersand the Bishop and shall have the right to make representations to the Bishop concerningthe affairs of the Church, the cure of souls in the Parish, alterations in services, andornaments.

The reason for this proposed constitutional amendment to Chapter IV C the Parochial Church Council 8 (3) is that some cathedrals are also parishes, and this amendment ensures that there are no competing constitutional clauses relating to this provision.

Rhan I: Cwrdd Festri Blynyddol a Chyrddau Festri Eraill

14.

Rhaid i bob Warden cyn ei dderbyn i’w swydd wneud ac arwyddo gerbron yr Esgob, Canghellor yr esgobaeth, yr Archddiacon neu un a benodwyd i’r pwrpas gan yr archddiacon, ddatganiad yn y ffurf hon:

Yr wyf fi, J… S… yn datgan fy mod yn Gymunwr Conffyrmiedig dros ddeunaw oed a bod fy enw wedi’i gofnodi’n gywir ar rôl etholwyr Plwyf …, ac y byddaf yn cyflawni yn ffyddlon ac yn ddiwyd ddyletswyddau Warden y Plwyf hwnnw yn ystod blwyddyn fy swydd, a’m bod yn cytuno i dderbyn ac ufuddhau i unrhyw benderfyniad gan yr Esgob neu Ganghellor yr esgobaeth ynglŷn â’m hawl ar unrhyw amser i ddal swydd Warden.

Yn dilyn cyhoeddi canllawiau’r Esgobion ar dderbyn i gymundeb, pwrpas y newid hwn yw egluro’r gwahaniaeth rhwng cymunwr a chymunwr conffyrmiedig.

Chapter IVC: Parochial Administration

Part I: Annual and Other Vestry Meetings
