Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of the Church in Wales: From the Beginning to the Present Day Of the few histories of the Welsh Church available for English readers, scarcely any cover the whole field from the planting of Christianity in Wales to the present time, and I hope, therefore, that this short historical sketch of the four oldest dioceses of the Ecclesia Anglicana - Eglwys Loegr - may have its use. Eglwys Loegr means the Church of England, not the Church in England as distinguished from that part of it which is within the Principality of Wales. Eglwys Loegr is distinguished, not from any constituent portion of itself, such as the four Welsh sees, but from the Church in France, Germany, Italy, and other lands. The term was more correctly used by the early Welsh Methodists than by Nonconformists to-day. The history of the Welsh Church has, by reason of the linguistic, racial, political and other problems which it presents, certain features of its own which demand the special attention of the student of Church History. The Church in Wales is an organisation older by several centuries than the Church in England, and is the most ancient part of the Christian Church in this realm. It has exhibited through the centuries of its long history a definite character of its own. It claims to be the historic successor, on any scientific definition of continuity, of the ancient British Church, the Church of Dewi Sant. The explicit recognition and acknowledgment of this claim by Freeman, Bryce, Stubbs, and Creighton among historians, by Gladstone and Asquith among statesmen, is evidence that the claim is valid; that it is based upon the plain witness of the facts of history, and that the denial of that claim is due to the exigencies of political programmes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity, in its Catholic, Protestant and Nonconformist forms, has played an enormous role in the history of Wales and in the defining and shaping of Welsh identity over the past two thousand years. Biblical place names, an urban and rural landscape littered with churches, chapels, crosses and sacred sites, a bardic and literary tradition deeply imbued with Christian themes in both the Welsh and English languages, and the songs sung by tens of thousands of rugby supporters at the national stadium in Cardiff, all hint at a Christian presence that was once universal. Yet for many in contemporary Wales, the story of the development of Christianity in their country remains little known. While the history of Christianity in Wales has been a subject of perennial interest for Welsh historians, much of their work has been highly specialised and not always accessible to a general audience. Standing on the shoulders of some of Wales’s finest historians, this is the first single-volume history of Welsh Christianity from its origins in Roman Britain to the present day. Drawing on the expertise of four leading historians of the Welsh Christian tradition, this volume is specifically designed for the general reader, and those beginning their exploration of Wales’s Christian past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A heavenly book, elegant and thoughtful. Get one for yourself and one for the church-crawler in your life!' Lucy Worsley Christianity has been central to the lives of the people of Britain and Ireland for almost 2,000 years. It has given us laws, customs, traditions and our national character. From a persecuted minority in Roman Britannia through the 'golden age' of Anglo-Saxon monasticism, the devastating impact of the Vikings, the alliance of church and state after the Norman Conquest to the turmoil of the Reformation that saw the English monarch replace the Pope and the Puritan Commonwealth that replaced the king, it is a tangled, tumultuous story of faith and achievement, division and bloodshed. In If These Stones Could Talk Peter Stanford journeys through England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland to churches, abbeys, chapels and cathedrals, grand and humble, ruined and thriving, ancient and modern, to chronicle how a religion that began in the Middle East came to define our past and shape our present. In exploring the stories of these buildings that are still so much a part of the landscape, the details of their design, the treasured objects that are housed within them, the people who once stood in their pulpits and those who sat in their pews, he builds century by century the narrative of what Christianity has meant to the nations of the British Isles, how it is reflected in the relationship between rulers and ruled, and the sense it gives about who we are and how we live with each other. 'There is no better navigator through the space in which art, culture and spirituality meet than Peter Stanford' Cole Moreton, Independent on Sunday
Download or read book Joan Lady of Wales written by Danna R Messer and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of women in medieval Wales before the English conquest of 1282 is one largely shrouded in mystery. For the Age of Princes, an era defined by ever-increased threats of foreign hegemony, internal dynastic strife and constant warfare, the comings and goings of women are little noted in sources. This misfortune touches even the most well-known royal woman of the time, Joan of England (d. 1237), the wife of Llywelyn the Great of Gwynedd, illegitimate daughter of King John and half-sister to Henry III. With evidence of her hand in thwarting a full scale English invasion of Wales to a notorious scandal that ended with the public execution of her supposed lover by her husband and her own imprisonment, Joans is a known, but little-told or understood story defined by family turmoil, divided loyalties and political intrigue. From the time her hand was promised in marriage as the result of the first Welsh-English alliance in 1201 to the end of her life, Joans place in the political wranglings between England and the Welsh kingdom of Gwynedd was a fundamental one. As the first woman to be designated Lady of Wales, her role as one a political diplomat in early thirteenth-century Anglo-Welsh relations was instrumental. This first-ever account of Siwan, as she was known to the Welsh, interweaves the details of her life and relationships with a gendered re-assessment of Anglo-Welsh politics by highlighting her involvement in affairs, discussing events in which she may well have been involved but have gone unrecorded and her overall deployment of royal female agency.
