Fel Cristnogion yn Esgobeth Bangor, gallwn olrhain ein hanes yn ôl i ddynion a merched sanctaidd a sefydlodd gymunedau o weddi a gwasanaeth ar draws yr esgobaeth mor gynnar â’r bumed ganrif. Parheir i goffáu’r saint Celtaidd cynnar hyn – Deiniol, Cybi, Seiriol, Tudwen, Madryn, a llawer o rai eraill – yn enwau ein heglwysi, ein pentrefi a’n trefi. Fileniwm a hanner yn ddiweddarach, nid yw ein cenhadaeth wedi newid – ymatebwn i alwad Iesu drwy fod yn Eglwys sy’n Dysgu, tystiolaethwn i’n ffydd drwy air a gweithred, a cheisiwn gyrraedd ein cymdogion â newyddion da Teyrnas Dduw. Mae sicrhau adnoddau digonol ar gyfer ein gweinidogaeth a’n cenhadaeth yn rhan hollbwysig o’n bywyd ar y cyd fel esgobaeth. Mae’r adroddiad hwn yn cyflwyno gwaith Grŵp Adolygu y Cyfran Plwyf, ac yn lawnsio Cronfa Gweinidogaeth yr Esgob: modd newydd, dynamig, gwreiddiedig a phroffesiynol o gwrdd â’n costau yn Esgobaeth Bangor.

As Christians in the Diocese of Bangor, we can trace our history back to holy men and women who founded communities of prayer and service across the diocese as early as the fifth century. These early Celtic saints – Deiniol, Cybi, Seiriol, Tudwen, Madryn, and many others – are still commemorated in the names of our churches, villages and towns. A millennium and a half later, our mission hasn’t changed – to respond to the call of Jesus by becoming a Learning Church, to witness to our faith by word and action, and to reach out to all people with the good news of the Kingdom of God. Resourcing our ministry and mission is a vital component of our shared life as a diocese. This report presents the work of the Parish Share Review Group, and launches the Bishop’s Ministry Fund: a new, dynamic, rooted and professional way of meeting our costs in the Diocese of Bangor.

Overview

1

Rhaid i ni, fel esgobaeth ar y cyd, allu cwrdd â chostau gweinidogaeth yn ein Ardaloedd Gweinidogaeth – yr Ardaloedd Gweinidogaeth sydd eisioes wedi ei ffurfio, a’r rhai fydd yn cael eu ffurfio yn ystod y misoedd i ddod.

1

We need, as a whole diocese, to be able to meet the costs of ministry in our Ministry Areas – those Ministry Areas already formed and those that will be formed over coming months.

2

Mae ein cyfundrefn Cyfran Plwyf, sy’n ariannu ein costau gweinidogaethol ar hyn o bryd, yn dechrau gwegian. Mae’r Grŵp Adolygu y Cyfran Plwyf wedi adolygu’r gyfundrefn bresennol, ac wedi gweithio i ddatblygu dull newydd. Bydd y gyfundrefn newydd hon yn cael ei threialu ledled yr esgobaeth yn ystod 2015 a 2016.

2

Our Parish Share system, which currently funds the costs of ministry, is creaking at the seams. The Parish Share Review Group has reviewed the existing system, and has worked to develop a new approach. This new system will be trialled across the diocese during 2015 and 2016.

3

Fel rhan ganolog o’r gyfundrefn newydd, bydd Cronfa Gweinidogaeth yr Esgob yn cael ei sefydlu. Caiff Cronfa Gweinidogaeth yr Esgob ei goruchwylio gan Fwrdd Cyllid yr Esgobaeth (DBF), a bydd y gronfa’n gyfrifol am gostau gweinidogaethol lleol (cyflogau, pensiynau, persondai a costau datblygu gweinidogaethol; costau hyfforddi a datblygu ar gyfer y rhai sy’n arfer gweinidogaethau lleyg yn ein heglwysi; a’r buddsoddiad a wnawn i fagu a hyfforddi cenhedlaeth newydd o arweinwyr).

3

As a central part of the new system, the Bishop’s Ministry Fund will be established. Overseen by the Diocesan Board of Finance, the Bishop’s Ministry Fund will meet the costs of local ministry (stipends, pension, parsonage and ministerial development costs; training and development costs for those who exercise lay ministries in our churches; the investment raising up and training a new generation of leaders).

4

Yn lle’r hen gyfundren Cyfran Plwyf, bydd Ardaloedd Gweinidogaeth ac eglwysi yn cael eu gwahodd i gyfrannu at Gronfa Gweinidogaeth yr Esgob. Bydd Ardaloedd Gweinidogaeth ac eglwysi yn gallu gosod eu targedau eu hunain ar gyfer eu cyfraniad blynyddol i Gronfa Gweinidogaeth yr Esgob. Byddwn yn gosod targedau mewn awyrgylch o ymgynghori Cristnogol, yng nghwmni Ardaloedd Gweinidogaeth ac eglwysi cyfagos, ac yng ngoleuni’r galw disgwyliedig ar Gronfa Gweinidogaeth yr Esgob. Mae hyn yn caniatáu i ni gymryd o ddifrif sefyllfa ariannol, cenhadol a bugeiliol pob eglwys, yn ogystal â’n hatebolrwydd i’n gilydd fel aelodau o’r un teulu esgobaethol.

4

In place of the old Parish Share system, Ministry Areas and churches will be invited to contribute to the Bishop’s Ministry Fund. Ministry Areas and churches will be able to set their own targets for their annual contribution to the Bishop’s Ministry Fund. This target-setting will take place in the context of Christian conferring with neighbouring Ministry Areas and churches, and in the light of the anticipated demands on the Bishop’s Ministry Fund. This allows us to take seriously the financial, missional and pastoral situation of each church, as well as our accountability to one another as members of the diocesan family.

5

Bydd angen i bawb sy’n cymryd rhan yn y gyfundren newydd fod yn uchel eu croch am ei thegwch a’i chadernid, fel y gall ein stiwardiaeth a’n rhoi fel esgobaeth ddod yn rhan hael ac annatod o’n hysbrydolrwydd Cristnogol ac o’n hymrwymiad i fod yn Eglwys sy’n Dysgu.

5

All who take part in this new system will need to be ambassadors for its fairness and robustness, so that our giving and stewardship as a diocese can be seen as a positive and generous outworking of our Christian discipleship and of our commitment to be a Learning Church.

6

Ochr yn ochr â’r system newydd, bydd yr esgobaeth yn cynnig mwy o gymorth gyda datblygiad ariannol, cyllidebu, rhoi, stiwardiaeth, codi arian, ac archwilio ffrydiau incwm newydd o fewn Ardaloedd Gweinidogaeth ac eglwysi.

6

Alongside this new system, the diocese will be offering greater assistance with financial development, budgeting, giving, stewardship, fundraising, and the exploration of new income streams within Ministry Areas and churches.

7

Gobeithiwn y bydd y newidiadau hyn yn galluogi ein cyfundrefnau a’n strategaethau ariannol fel esgobaeth i fod yn ddeinamig, yn wreiddiedig, ac yn broffesiynol.

7

Taken as a whole, we hope that these changes will enable our financial systems and strategies as a diocese to be dynamic, rooted and professional.

Trafodwn isod (gweler C.1.5 a G.4) yr angen am gamau pellach i gefnogi datblygiad ariannol, cyllidebu, rhoi, stiwardiaeth, codi arian, a darganfod ffrydiau incwm newydd o fewn Ardaloedd Gweinidogaeth ac eglwysi. Golyga natur arbennig gweinidogaeth Anglicanaidd leol fod iddi gysylltiadau ystyrlon a dwfn ag ystod eang o unigolion a grwpiau y tu hwnt i fyd cyfyng yr eglwys leol ei hun; ac yn aml meant yn gysylltiadau y’u gwerthfawrogir yn fawr gan y gymuned leol. Mae yma botensial felly i fanteisio ar y fath ewyllys da, a’i droi rwydwaith o gymorth a fyddai’n gallu hybu hyfywedd a chynaliadwyedd mewn sawm cyd-destun. Nid rhwymedigaeth fo gweinidogaeth ymgnawdoliedig o bell ffordd.

We discuss below (see C.1.5 and G.4) the need to take further steps to support financial development, budgeting, giving, stewardship, fundraising, and the exploration of new income streams within Ministry Areas and churches. The distinctive nature of local Anglican ministry, with its meaningful and often deeply valued association with a range of individuals and groups beyond the narrowly understood life of the local church itself, has the potential to provide the base for a network of support that could enable greater viability and sustainability in a number of contexts. An incarnational ministry of presence is by no means a liability.!

Mae gan y senario hwn rai anfanteision amlwg. Mae yna berygl y bydd y Cyfran Plwyf, yn y cyd-destun lleol, yn cael ei weld fel swm sy’n cyfateb yn union â chyflog Arweinydd yr Ardal Gweinidogaeth, sydd yn ei dro yn bygwth gwneud i ymdrechion yr Arweinydd i sefydlogi cyllid yr Ardal Gweinidogaeth ymddangos yn hunanlesol; yn sicr mae yna berygl o godi sgwrs lletchwith o fewn trafodaethau ariannol lleol. Mae hefyd yn lleihau’r elfen ‘esgobaethol’ o’r senario blaenorol gan na fyddai rhai costau esgobaethol craidd yn cael eu cwmpasu gan y Cyfran Plwyf. Fodd bynnag, mae manteision a chryfderau i’r senario hwn. Yn gyntaf mae’n cynnig esboniad syml a chlir ar gyfer y pwrpas a defnydd o’r Cyfran Plwyf – i dalu costau gweinidogaethol. Yn ail, mae’n caniatáu ar gyfer dimensiwn esgobaethol drwy’r deinamig o degwch / haelioni a allai weld Ardal Gweinidogaeth yn cyfrannu llai / mwy na’r costau y gellir eu priodoli i’r darpariaeth weinidogol leol yn mae’n ei dderbyn. Yn drydydd, mae’n magu cydnabyddiaeth o’r gyllideb ehangach Bwrdd Cyllid yr Esgobaeth ac o’r newyddion da ynghylch ffrydiau incwm eraill drwy’r dimensiwn o allu dweud ‘nid yw’r gwasanaethau a’r gweinidogaethau esgobaethol penodol sy’n cefnogi eich bywyd fel Ardal Gweinidogaeth yn fyrdwn ar eich heglwys chi.’ Yn bedwerydd, mae’n caniatáu i’r Archddiaconiaid a staff Canolfan yr Esgobaeth gymryd rhan mewn sgyrsiau codi arian heb elfen mor amlwg o hunan-les. Yn olaf, mae’n cyd-fynd â’r weledigaeth esgobaethol o Ardaloedd Gweinidogaeth cynaliadwy sy’n gallu bod yn gyfrifol ac yn atebol am gynllunio gweinidogaeth a chenhadaeth ar draws yr Ardal Gweinidogaeth.

This scenario has some obvious disadvantages. It risks, in the local context, equating the Parish Share with the Ministry Area Leader’s stipend, which in turn risks making their efforts to secure the Ministry Area’s finances appear self-interested; at the very least, it risks introducing an element of awkwardness. It also diminishes the ‘diocesan’ element of the previous scenario as some core diocesan costs would not be covered by the Parish Share. However there are also some advantages and strengths to this scenario. First it offers a simple and clear explanation for the purpose and use of the Parish Share – to meet ministry costs. Secondly, it allows for a diocesan dimension through the fair / generous dynamic that could see Ministry Areas contributing below / above the attributable costs of local ministerial provision. Thirdly, it maintains a recognition both of the broader DBF budget and of the good news of other income streams by its ‘these specific diocesan services and ministries that support your life as a Ministry Area aren’t a burden on your church’ dimension. Fourthly, it allows Archdeacons and Diocesan Centre staff to take part in fundraising conversations without such an obvious element of self-interest. Finally, it resonates with the diocesan vision of sustainable Ministry Areas able to be responsible and accountable for the planning of ministry and mission across the Ministry Area.!

Feedback from some churches has suggested that Ministry Area / church budgeting would be assisted by setting the target at an earlier point in the previous financial year and by setting the target for more than one year. Both are desirable and could be incorporated for 2016 and beyond.

! Almighty God, who inspired Deiniol, the first Bishop of Bangor, to gather around him a community to live the common life: grant that we, who honour his memory, may work to build up the family of your Church in faith and hope and love; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord; to whom with you and the Holy Spirit be all honour and glory, now and for ever. Amen. The collect for the feast of St Deiniol
