ABSTRACT
Protestant emphases on the priority of scripture and SALVATION by GRACE through FAITH, filtered through Episcopalianism and, more significantly, NONCONFORMITY, have deeply influenced Welsh CULTURE and national identity. During the twentieth century, Pentecostal and charismatic expressions of Protestantism emerged, although it remains to be seen whether any of these groups can contribute to national renewal and stem the tide of decline and secularization that took hold in Welsh religious life after World War II.
