Anglican

Anglicans form the family of Christians closely related to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Whilst tracing their inheritance back to Christ and the earliest Christians and to the ancient Roman Catholic church, the sixteenth century Reformation was a crucial moment for Anglicanism.

Priest

‘Priest’ comes from the Greek word for ‘elder’. Priests in the Church in Wales are those authorised specifically to proclaim forgiveness of sins, preside at the Eucharist and bless God’s people, as well as other responsibilities.

Healing and Reconciliation Conference

Events Posted: 23 October 2020

Revd Dr Gillian Strain has accepted an invitation to be the keynote speaker at our forthcoming conference on Healing and Reconciliation. Gillian is an Anglican priest who is also a pastoral theologian with a particular interest in bringing the study of science into conversations about Christian healing. Gillian will talk about how healing and reconciliation are at the heart of the Good News of Jesus Christ and therefore the work of the Church. The address will be followed by workshops on a variety of themes linked to healing, wholeness and reconciliation. It promises to be an engaging and stimulating morning.
