 Dinooth and the Church in Wales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Wales was the first of the nations of Great Britain to feel weapons of aggression directed against the Celtic Church after the arrival of the Papacy.
It was clearly evident to those pastors, whose church had an origin independent of the Papacy and had never had any connection with Rome, that the unity demanded of them meant the loss of their identity.
The Celtic Church retained the original understanding of the New Testament that a bishop was a pastor over a church, a presbyter, and not a spiritual overlord who held his authority from a superior in the Roman Catholic hierarchy.

Christ Church is one of three post Second World War Anglican places of worship to be build in Cardiff, the other two being the chapel at St Michael’s College, Llandaff, 1957 -1959 and St Mark’s, Gabalfa, dedicated in 1968, and built to replace the previous church which was demolished during extensive road alterations.
The Church in Wales was keen to respond to the rapid expansion of north Cardiff in the 1950s and 1960s and even earlier in the 1930s and in particular to serve the areas around Roath Park and Lake.
The church became a daughter church to St Isan Llanishen, along with St Denys Lisvane, St Faith Llanishen and Ton-yr-Ywen Heath, and remained as such for thirty years until it was created a parish church with a parish of its own in 1993.

 Forward in Faith Wales - Communion Statement
We uphold the faith handed down from Christ by the apostles, the faith of St David and all the saints of Wales, the faith of the historic mainstream of Anglican Christians.
The action of the Church in Wales, along with some, but by no means all, provinces of the Anglican Communion, in allowing women to be ordained to the presbyterate has radically altered the nature of our Communion.
We note that some Provinces have proceeded to the ordination of women to the episcopate; if this were to happen within the Church in Wales it would be impossible for proper care to be given to those of our persuasion under the current pastoral provisions.
