From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM (born 1953 at Wrexham, Denbighshire, North Wales) is a Welsh politician.
Thomas attended Ysgol Bodhyfryd Wrexham, and then Ysgol Morgan Llwyd Wrexham before leaving for the University of Wales, Aberystwyth in 1975 to study for a degree in Welsh. After graduating in 1978, he studied for a B.D degree in Theology at the University of Wales, Bangor. In 1991 he studied for a MTh degree at the University of Wales, Lampeter, reading American Theology.
In 1992, Thomas fought the old Carmarthen constituency in the General Election for Plaid Cymru - Party of Wales. In the 1997 General Election he stood for Plaid Cymru in Carmarthen East & Dinefwr. In 1999 he fought the same constituency in the National Assembly Elections, winning by 6,980 votes.
Thomas was heavily criticised in certain areas of his constituency having posed nude for two charity calendars, especially as he was elected in 1999 with a strong emphasis on his career as a Minister of Religion.
