WHAT WE DO

EFCW has always been what its members make it. Over the years activities have varied, though opportunities for meeting and learning together have been at the heart of EFCW’s life from the very beginning.

The current pattern of events includes an annual day conference in the summer (when the AGM is also held), various local activities through the year, and an overnight residential conference once every two years for clergy and others in authorised ministry. All of these provide opportunities for building relationships between members scattered throughout the province – a source of real encouragement especially for those in isolated situations.

From early 2010 Peter and Anna Bement have agreed to take on the voluntary role of EFCW visitors, after retiring from parish ministry in Llandeilo. Their role will be one of informal support: listening, networking, sharing information, and offering fellowship and encouragement. Although clergy are principally in mind, all isolated members fall within their brief.

EFCW is keen to encourage evangelicals training for ordained or reader ministry, and support is offered in the form of book grants.

Although a fellowship and not an evangelical lobby group, recently EFCW has been increasingly active in presenting a biblical perspective at provincial level on key issues affecting the Church in Wales and the Anglican Communion.

In addition to this website, EFCW keeps members in touch through Bwletin, a magazine produced three times a year featuring topical items, theological reflections, and details of forthcoming events.
