Examines and analyses the failure of the established Church in 19th-century Wales to retain the allegiance of the Welsh by appointing English speaking Anglo-Welsh bishops who failed to understand the character and spirituality of the Welsh. As a result, there was a demand for the appointment of Welsh-speakers as bishops for the four Welsh sees.
