| | Church in Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unlike bishops in the Church of England, each bishop of the Church in Wales is elected by an 'Electoral College' which consists of representatives of the diocese seeking a new bishop, representatives of the other five dioceses in Wales and all the other Bishops of the Church in Wales. | | | The Church in Wales is as a result fully independent of both the state and the Church of England, and is an independent member of the Anglican Communion like the Church of Ireland or the Scottish Episcopal Church. | | | The Welsh Church Act 1914 had referred throughout to "the Church in Wales", the phrase apparently being used to indicate the part of the Church [of England] in Wales. |

| | Church Fathers - encyclopedia article about Church Fathers. |
| | The Church Fathers or Fathers of the Church are the early and influential theologians and writers in the Christian Church, particularly those of the first five centuries of Christian history. | | | In the Roman Catholic Church, St. John of Damascus, who lived in the 8th century, is generally considered to be the last of the Church Fathers and at the same time the first seed of the next period of church writers, scholasticism. | | | The Eastern Orthodox Church does not consider the age of Church Fathers to be over at all and it includes later influential writers in the term. |

| | 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. | | | Columbanus, who was of the same faith as Dinooth, declared that his church had received nought but the doctrines of the Lord and the apostles. | | | Evidently Arthur was the sword of the Lord in defense of the British Church. |

| | The Orthodox Church, which was once the Church of the Welsh nation, can play its part in calling the people of Wales - most of whom are now alienated from Church - back to the Faith of their ancestors, the Faith of the Saints who civilized and sanctified this land and claimed it for Christ. | | | Eventually, the Celtic Church had to submit to the Roman Church and was absorbed by it and placed under the authority of the English Archdiocese of Canterbury. | | | Therefore, His Church is called to be a serving Church. |

| | Church in Wales -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | At the time of the Reformation, the Welsh church was directly controlled by the English church and was thus separated from Rome when Henry VIII declared himself the head of the Church of England (1534). | | | In 1534 the Christian church in England separated itself from the jurisdiction of the pope in Rome, and Parliament named King Henry VIII & only supreme head of the Church of England.&; This change established a new denomination that became the mother church for many other regional and national church bodies. |
