Diocese Of Llandaf Pulling Together Conference
Canon Dr. Trystan Owain Hughes
The Rev’d Trystan Owain Hughes, Director of Ministry Development for the Church in Wales, spoke of ministry as a pilgrimage, a shared journey of faith. Drawing on his own recent pilgrimage across North Wales, he reminded us that ministry is not a solo endeavour but a communal path, marked by companionship, challenge, and grace.

Mandy Bayton
​
Mandy Bayton, Director of Mission for the Swansea and Brecon Diocese, brought the theme into everyday focus. She urged us to consider what pulling together looks like in the context of daily ministry not just in grand gestures, but in small acts of love that ripple outward. She encouraged delegates to think about how we become a church that genuinely reaches out to those on society’s margins, embodying Christ’s compassion and justice. Discussion groups and conversations throughout the day allowed participants to exchange resources, offer support, and build lasting connections.
