[edit] WikiProject Anglicanism

A new WikiProject focussing on Anglicanism and the Anglican Communion has just been initiated: WikiProject Anglicanism. Our goal is to improve and expand Anglican-reltaed articles. If anyone (Anglican or non-Anglican) is interested, read over the project page and consider signing up. Cheers! Fishhead64 06:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

When did the Church in Wales start ordaining women to the priesthood? Are there other aspects of contemporary Welsh church history that could be mentioned?--Bhuck 13:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

It was a little while after the CofE, if I recall correctly --Anthropax 16:37, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] first welsh bishop at canterbury

Currently Rowan Williams is described as the first Welsh Bishop to be appointed to Canterbury since 1805. However, John Moore (died 1805), though translated to Canterbury from Bangor, was an Englishman from Gloucestershire. So he was a bishop in Wales, but not a "Welsh Bishop".

I don't know what 'Welsh Bishop' means. So I changed it to 'the first Bishop to be translated from Wales'. If someone knows birthplaces we could list Williams as the first Welsh-born Archbishop of Canterbury since .... --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 12:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
As far as I can tell from the Oxford Dict. Nat. Biogr., Rowan Williams is the first Welsh Archbishop of Canterbury. Myopic Bookworm 15:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
This is a more interesting fact than being the first bishop translated from Wales since 17xx, and it has a source. I won't at the library until tomorrow to look at ODNB so put your fact in now, and take mine out. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 17:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
You wrote "(translated from Wales" reads slightly oddly)". Don't you believe the ODNB? Yes it did read slightly oddly - I was being pedantic so as not to exclude the possibility of a non-diocesan bishop from Wales <grin> --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:08, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uniform format proposal

A proposal is being floated at the project page that there be a standard format for organising each article about national provinces of the Anglican Communion, including this one. Please consider participating in the straw vote and discussion. Cheers! Fishhead64 21:56, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Denomination Info Box

There are going to be huge issues with this box throughout the anglican communion pages. This is going to create a POV nightmare here and I am removing it before it starts. Let's see what's here, shall we?

Orientation: Anglican Orientation? What is that? Neologisim from what I can tell. All in the communion would agree that we are Anglican. Orientation of one sort or another, on the other hand, is splitting the communion in two.

Origin: 1920 St David wasn't alive then, was he? The article states: "Christianity in Wales can be traced back to the Romano-British period. However, a combination of Celtic Christianity's reconciliation with Rome and English conquest of Wales meant that from the Middle Ages until 1920, the Welsh dioceses were part of the Province of Canterbury -- in communion with the See of Rome until the Reformation, and continuing afterwards as part of the Church of England.

In "communion with...Rome and...as part of the Church of England", nowhere does it stay that the Church had its origin in 1920. This is POV.

This box just is not a good fit for the Church in Wales or probably any of the Anglican Churches. Thoughts? -- SECisek 05:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
