About Christianity

Christianity is the largest and longest established of the world religions in the UK. Christians believe in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who has been revealed as the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer of all, and that God’s nature is revealed in the life, teaching, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. They believe that in the Incarnation God fully identified with humanity, and demonstrated His essential nature which is agape or self-giving love. It is also believed that in the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, God and humanity are reconciled.

The UK community

In its various forms Christianity has shaped the past and present life of the British Isles including its legal structures and public institutions.

In Wales there is a continuous history of the Christian faith since the Roman period. The survival of the Welsh language is in large part due to the translation of the Bible into Welsh, and the continuation of worship in Welsh, particulary in non-conformist congregations.

The local community

In the Swansea area, although Christian faith and practice is expressed in various forms, increasingly Christians are coming together through structures such as Cytûn, Swansea Gweini, and Swansea City Prayer. These organisations link with the wider community through representation on local partnerships.
