the Church in Wales
/ðə ˌtʃɜːtʃ ɪn ˈweɪlz/
/ðə ˌtʃɜːrtʃ ɪn ˈweɪlz/
- the Welsh branch of the Anglican Church and part of the Anglican Communion. It became the main Welsh Church in the 16th century, although in the 18th and 19th centuries the majority of people in Wales left it and joined Nonconformist Churches such as the Baptists and the Methodists. The Church in Wales is now a ' disestablished' church, i.e. the British king or queen is no longer its Supreme Governor and it has no connections with the British State.
威尔士教堂：英国国教教堂的威尔士分支，是英国国教圣餐的一部分。它在16世纪成为威尔士的主要教堂，尽管在18和19世纪，威尔士的大多数人都离开了教堂，并加入了非信教教堂，如浸信会和卫理公会。威尔士教会现在是一座“瓦解的”教会，即英国国王或王后不再是最高总督，并且与英国政府没有任何联系。
