Great proofreading Carys! They must have taken on board Canon Sarah's point that the Church in Wales was looking for Character and not Characteristics when choosing the next Archbishop 🤣

@stjohnscardiff.bsky.social is here at Cardiff Pride hoping to show God’s love is vaster and deeper than anything we can conceive

To the left a signed reading “The Church of Saint John the Baptist, Cardiff. Eglwys Sant loan Fedyddiwr, Caerdydd. ALL ARE WELCOME. CROESO I PAWB” with a rainbow icon beneath. To the right, I’m (a young man with short brown hair and labret piercing) holding the flag pole of a rainbow coloured Wales flag and St. John the Baptist Church welcome leaflets. I’m wearing a mustard yellow shirt reading “fearfully and wonderfully made, Psalm 139” with each letter a different colour to make a rainbow, and a silver crucifix around my neck
