Diocese

‘Diocese’ refers to the geographical territory in which a bishop exercises oversight. The Church in Wales is divided into six dioceses each with its own cathedral in which is housed the cathedra (the bishop’s ‘chair’ or ‘throne’).

Eucharist

‘Eucharist’ comes from the Greek word for ‘thanksgiving’. At the Eucharist the Church remembers Jesus’ last supper where he gave bread and wine to be his body and blood, a sign of his saving love. See also Holy Communion.

Monmouth Grapevine

The Monmouth Grapevine is the quarterly magazine for the Diocese of Monmouth. It is packed with news and features about life around the Diocese and is designed to be enjoyed by our congregations and shared with your local community.

The title, Grapevine, encapsulates so many strands of our life in the Diocese – that we believe Jesus is the vine and we are the branches, the vine on which grape grows which is so special to our Eucharist, and that the grapevine is how we find out about news around the Diocese.
