Eryl Stephen Thomas (1910–2001) was a Bishop of Monmouth and a Bishop of Llandaff.An Anglesey man, after education at St John's College, Oxford, Eryl Thomas served curacies in the Diocese of St Asaph before being appointed to a parish (Risca) in South Wales then as Warden of St Michael's College, Llandaff. He was appointed Dean of Llandaff in 1954., and in this post completed the restoration of the war-damaged cathedral begun under his predecessor Glyn Simon.Stephen Thomas was in some ways a charismatic figure, he was renowned for his pastoral and preaching gifts, but he could also divide opinion. He vigorously exposed an important case of misuse of funds in the Church in Wales, incurring thereby some ill-will, and his sociable manner, coupled with his opposition to the Sunday Closing legislation which closed Welsh public houses on the first day of the week irritated Nonconformist abstentionists. A prominent representative of the Anglo-Catholic school of theology, he seems however to have avoided the narrowness of outlook of some more conservative Christians and played an important role in Jewish-Christian dialogue in the Cardiff area.
