A ydych yn cael eich galw i arwain Cadeirlan Bangor ar gyfnod arwyddocaol yn ei hanes?
Fel Deon ac Arweinydd Ardal Weinidogaeth, mae hwn yn gyfle i lunio'r bennod nesaf ym mywyd y Gadeirlan a'r Ardal Weinidogaeth, yn ogystal â chwarae rhan bwysig yn arweinyddiaeth yr esgobaeth.
Rydym yn chwilio am:
- Unigolyn o ysbrydolrwydd dwfn, penderfynoldeb ac hygrededd, ag agwedd dosturiol a chynhwysol tuag at eraill, a chanddo / chanddi roddion cryf ym maes gofal bugeiliol a rheolaeth.
- Arweinydd cydweithredol sydd â phrofiad perthnasol o eglwys neu ardal weinidogaeth sylweddol, cadeirlan neu swydd arall eglwysig arwyddocaol.
- Pregethwr(aig), athro / athrawes a chyfathrebwr(aig) dawnus ac ysbrydoledig, sydd wedi ymrwymo i ragoriaeth mewn addoliad.
- Cyfathrebwr(aig) rhugl yn y Gymraeg a'r Saesneg, gyda chefndir cryf yn yr iaith Gymraeg, diwylliant a hanes Cymru – mae'r Gymraeg yn hanfodol ar gyfer y rôl hon.
- Offeiriad profiadol (sydd wedi bod mewn urddau offeiriadol am o leiaf chwe blynedd, ond yn ddelfrydol yn llawer hirach), ac sy'n barod i fodelu'r safonau uchel y maent yn eu disgwyl gan eraill.
Bydd y Deon newydd yn:
- Arwain addoliad, tystiolaeth, cenhadaeth a gweinidogaeth y Gadeirlan a'r Ardal Weinidogaeth, gan ddatblygu tîm amrywiol o weinidogion lleyg ac ordeiniedig, staff cyflogedig a di-dâl, a gwirfoddolwyr.
- Ymgorffori a datblygu ymhellach ddiwylliant cadarnhaol, tryloyw a chroesawgar lle mae pawb yn cael eu derbyn, gan adeiladu ar y gwaith a wnaed yn dilyn adolygiadau diweddar.
- Meithrin twf ysbrydol, a datblygu'r Gadeirlan fel canolfan fywiog i'r celfyddydau gyda hymrwymiad dwfn i gyfiawnder cymdeithasol
- Datblygu addoliad corawl a dwyieithog y Gadeirlan.
- Dyfnhau'r weinidogaeth i bererinion ac ymwelwyr ar Lwybr Pererinion Gogledd Cymru.
- Ynghyd ag aelodau'r Cabidwl a staff uwch y Gadeirlan, hyrwyddo cynlluniau i wella sefydlogrwydd a phrosesau ariannol, yn ogystal â mynd i'r afael â gwelliannau sydd eu hangen i adeiladwaith y Gadeirlan.
- Meithrin partneriaethau cryf â sefydliadau a mudiadau eraill yn y ddinas.
- Gwasanaethu fel aelod allweddol o Dîm Staff yr Esgob ac fel uwch offeiriad yr Esgobaeth.
Mae'r Deondy yn dŷ braf gyda pump ystafell wely a thair ystafell ymolchi, wedi'i adnewyddu'n ddiweddar, wrth ymyl y Gadeirlan ac efo gardd a thir sylweddol.
