Ordeinio 2023: Selwyn Griffith
Dros Ŵyl Bedr eleni yng Nghadeirlan Deiniol Sant ym Mangor, cafodd Helen Franklin a Selwyn Griffith eu hordeinio yn Offeiriad
Fe’u gelwir i gydweithio â'u Esgob a'u cyd-offeiriaid a hall bobl Dduw fel gweision a bugeiliaid.
Dyna’u tasg ar y cyd – ond mae gan bob un hefyd eu straeon personol eu hunain am alwad Duw ar eu bywydau.
Wrth siarad am ei flwyddyn fel Diacon, dywedodd Selwyn:
Rwyf wedi cael y fraint o weithio mewn dwy Ardal Weinidogaeth ers cael fy ordeinio yn ddiacon, yn gyntaf ym Mro Gwydyr ac yn awr yn Beuno Sant Uwch Gwyrfai. Mae fy arweirnwyr hyfforddi y Parchg Stuart Elliot a'r Parchg Ddr Rosie Dymond wedi bod yn hynod gefnogol ac wedi rhoi llawer iawn o brofiadau o waith plwyf dydd i ddydd amrywiol iawn i mi.
Er bod y ddau ardal yn debyg iawn mewn llawer o ffyrdd, mae yna gryn ddipyn o wahaniaethau hefyd ac mae’r rhain wedi fy helpu i ddatblygu fy hun fel person yn aruthrol, mae ochr bugeiliol y gwaith wedi bod yn rhoi boddhad mawr i mi sef rhan bwysig Iwan rwy’n credu o’r gwaith ac rwyf hefyd wedi dysgu llawer gan y bobl yn y gwahanol gymunedau hefyd.
Dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf rwyf wedi dysgu a datblygu amrywiol o sgiliau a gwybodaeth am Dduw a bywyd yr Eglwys, ac rwy’n edrych ymlaen yn fawr at fy ngham nesaf yn y weinidogaeth fel y gallaf ddyfnhau fy ngwybodaeth o Dduw ymhellach a rhannu hyn gyda phobl eraill yn y ardal y byddaf yn gweithio ynddo yn y dyfodol.
Mae llawer o waith i’w wneud yn yr esgobaeth gan nad yw gwaith Duw byth yn mynd yn llonydd, a bydd y tri prif egwyddor penodol yr esgobaeth yn rhan bwysig a hanfodol iawn o’m gweinidogaeth yn y dyfodol wrth inni rannu’r newyddion da a chariad Duw â’r pobl eraill trwy addoli Duw, tyfu'r eglwys a charu'r byd.

Ordinations 2023: Selwyn Griffith
This Petertide at Saint Deiniol's Cathedral in Bangor, Helen Franklin and Selwyn Griffith were ordained Priest.
They are called to work with their bishop their fellow priests and the people of God as servants and shepherds.
That is their common task – but each also have their own personal stories about God’s call on their lives.
Speaking of his year as a Deacon, Selwyn says:
I have had the privilege of working in two Ministry Areas since being ordained a deacon, firstly in Bro Gwydyr and now currently in Beuno Sant Uwch Gwyrfai. And both my training incumbents, the Revd Stuart Elliot and the Revd Dr Rosie Dymond, have been immensely supportive and have given me a vast amount of varying parish day to day work experiences.
Whilst both areas are very similar in a lot of ways there are also quite a few differences too and these have helped me develop myself as a person tremendously, the pastoral side of the work has been very rewarding which I believe is a very important part of the work and I've also learnt so much from the people in the different communities too.
Over the last year I have learnt and developed a varying amount of skills and knowledge about God and Church life, and I’m really looking forward to my next step in ministry so I can further deepen my knowledge of God and share this with other people in the area that I’ll be working at in future.
There is a lot of work to be done in the diocese as God's work never becomes stagnant, and the three main principles of the diocese will be very important and an essential part of my ministry in the future as we share the good news and God's love with others through worshipping God, growing the church and loving the world.
