New archbishop wants to 'refresh' Church in Wales
The new Archbishop of Wales has said he wants to help "refresh" the Church in Wales after his Saturday enthronement. The Most Rev John Davies, who has been Bishop of Swansea and Brecon since 2008, was elected in September after the retirement of Dr Barry Morgan. Mr Davies has been enthroned as the 13th archbishop since the Church in Wales separated from the Church of England in 1920, at Brecon Cathedral. "It is not business as usual," said the 64-year-old former lawyer. Mr Davies is now head of the Church in Wales, which includes six dioceses - Bangor, St Asaph, St Davids, Llandaff, Monmouth and his own diocese of Swansea and Brecon.
