Description: "The twentieth century was described as 'the ecumenical century'. A History of Ecumenism in Wales is a study of the history and development of the ecumenical movement in Wales, focused on the Council of Churches for Wales, formed in 1956 and disbanded in 1990 when Cytun: Churches Together in Wales was inaugurated." "This is the first comprehensive study in English of the ecumenical movement in Wales, written by someone who was at the heart of this movement during much of the period under consideration. This book will enable a deeper understanding of the significance and contribution of a movement and an organization that became, through the Holy Spirit, an instrument of renewal not only among the churches but, at its best, within the life of local communities and the nation as a whole."--book jacket.
