Church in Wales marks women priests 20th anniversary

It is 20 years since women were allowed to become priests in the Church in Wales - and on Saturday services will be held at every Welsh cathedral to mark the anniversary.

The Church in Wales Governing Body accepted women becoming priests by just one vote.

Reporter Caroline Evans has been back to meet Rev Jenny Wigley, one of the women among the first to be ordained, to hear about her experiences.

And she also spoke with Rev Ben Andrews who said that while he "cannot accept the sacramental ministry of a women priest or now a women bishop", it has not "stopped a working relationship" with women colleagues.
