In September 2025 at St David’s Cathedral, Pembrokeshire, WCIA and Cytûn (Churches Together in Wales) launched this exhibition, ‘Faith for a Warless World’ – created to mark the centenary of a remarkable world peace campaign that brought together the churches of Wales in the aftermath of World War One. This Churches Peace Memorial from the Temple of Peace Archives is thought to be the first documented demonstration of ecumenical (interfaith) cooperation after disestablishment of the Church in Wales in 1920.
This homepage accompanies the touring exhibition, bringing together online reference resources that can be linked and viewed from the physical exhibition panels themselves. These include:
The exhibition in St David’s through October 2025 was part of the Cathedral’s wider programme marking Libraries Week, the 1700th Anniversary of the Nicene Creed (the defining statement of Christianity agreed in 325AD), and the centenary of the ‘Orthodox Patriarchs Pilgrimage’ to St David’s of October 1925.
From October 2025 onwards, the exhibition is available for loan to community groups, local events and activities by churches and congregations Wales-wide across the interfaith spectrum. See below for details on how to book ‘and arrange ‘Faith for a Warless World’.
Between 23rd November 2025 and 10th January 2026, WCIA ran a social media feed, “What they would have Tweeted: Gwilym’s Diary“ following day-to-day the progress of the 1925 voyage to America by League of Nations campaigner Rev Gwilym Davies, featuring weekly postings #OnThisDay from his digitised diary.
