Delyth Liddell is in conversation with the Rt Revd Gregory Cameron, Bishop of St Asaph.

Delyth Liddell is in conversation with one of the most senior figures in the Anglican Church in Wales. The Rt Revd Gregory Cameron, the 76th Bishop of St Asaph.

“I want to build a church in which people can be themselves”. 

Delyth Liddell is in conversation with one of the most senior figures in the Anglican Church in Wales. The Right Reverend Gregory Cameron, son of a south Wales steelworker, became the 76th Bishop of St Asaph in 2009. Before his consecration, Gregory Cameron held senior roles in the worldwide Anglican Communion; at the time he was described by the Times newspaper as “arguably the most influential clergyman behind the scenes”. Before moving to St Asaph, he warned the worldwide church not to outlaw homosexuality, for fear of the destruction of their church. He has not been afraid to speak out on issues controversial for the worldwide church. 

When he’s not running a diocese – this year celebrating the 1450th anniversary of his predecessor - Asaph, Gregory Cameron is a best-selling writer and artist, has a long-standing interest in heraldry, noting that the Bishop of St Asaph’s coat of arms is “the most boring in Christendom".  He’s even designed coins for the Royal Mint, and recently created a new flag for the city of St Asaph.  

In this programme, Bishop Gregory talks about his early years, his role at the Anglican Communion, his firm belief in the inclusion of LGBTQ people in the church, and the importance of recreation.
