Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There’s always laughter and good red wine.
At least I’ve always found it so.
Benedicamus Domino!

- Hilaire Belloc

About Me

I'm an Anglican priest, musician, performer and aficionado of the British Music Hall.

I believe that laughter (which stems from joy and delight) should have an important place in our discussions about God. Laughter and the spiritual life are most certainly compatible.

​

The Welsh word 'Hwyl' is used to express fervour, emotion and a stirring sensation. But it also used to describe having 'fun'. Apparently, the origins of 'Hwyl' go back to the Welsh revivals and the sense of 'fun' and 'joy' in worship.

​

My blog is focused on all things 'Hwyl'.

I’m a member of the British Music Hall Society, committee member of London's Players' Theatre and founder of The Collen Players: a music hall troupe based in Llangollen, North Wales.
