Church of Wales

The Church of Wales is an Anglican Christian church that covers Wales, operating independently but within the worldwide Anglican tradition. It was established in 1920, following the disestablishment of the Church of England in Wales. It has its own bishops, priests, and governing structures, and combines spiritual guidance with community services. The church follows Christian teachings, celebrates sacraments like baptism and communion, and values inclusivity, social justice, and tradition. While it maintains many Anglican beliefs and practices, it also adapts to contemporary Welsh society, serving both religious and cultural roles across Wales.
