Mark Griffiths presenting the Membership and Finance Report at the Governing Body this year

Revd. Dr Mark Griifiths presented the Finance and Attendance Report to the Governing Body at Swansea Bay Campus and urged the audience to "look beyond the figures and see the good things that are happpenig across Wales"

He explained that this year, the Church in wales were excited to be able to share stories from across Wales to complement the usual digest of statistics. For some years it has become aware that the statistical report, whilst a useful indicator of the state of the Church year by year, was an inadequate guide to the richness of church life across the province. It hopes that this year's new format report goes some way to redressing that imbalance.
