Abstract: In 1920 that part of the Church of England located in Wales was disestablished and became an autonomous and self‐governing Province of the Anglican communion. It owes its name “The Church in Wales” to two main considerations: it could not be called the Church of Wales because the argument for disestablishment was that the Welsh people were predominantly nonconformist; it could not be called the Church of England in Wales since its members were not expatriate English but Welsh, its bishops having been responsible for the translation of the Bible into Welsh and its services in rural areas being conducted in Welsh (Davies, 1970; Walker, 1976; Price, 1990; Davies, 1991).
