Diocese

‘Diocese’ refers to the geographical territory in which a bishop exercises oversight. The Church in Wales is divided into six dioceses each with its own cathedral in which is housed the cathedra (the bishop’s ‘chair’ or ‘throne’).

Prayer

Prayer sustains our human relationship with God and may involve words (formal or informal) or be silent. Prayer can involve adoration (‘I love you’), confession (‘sorry’), thanksgiving and supplication (‘please’).

As part of our celebrations, we've also commissioned Mal Pope to write a new anthem for the centenary. For This Reason will be performed at our festival in September.

We are making the backing tracks and full piano scores (Vocal and SATB) available for download for you to use in your school, choir or church so that we can spread the news about this centenary celebration.

We would love you to film yourselves/your church/your choir/your school choir/your church choir singing the anthem so that we can add you to our websites and social media.

We would also like to include as many recordings and videos as possible in the official video and record release and for us all to sing it together at the festival.

Please send your video or recording to admin@mphrecords.com
