On the question of Religion, Does anyone know if there is anything in Print on "Lay Preachers?" As my family have told me that my late Great,Great,Grandfather Thomas Daniel WILLIAMS,[c.1846-1906]was one, in the church at the bottom of Corporation Road in Grangetown Cardiff. This church was later taken over by The "Salvation Army"as a meeting hall. I think the denomination was "Baptist?" Thanks Graham. From:- Graham WILLIAMS,of Canton,Cardiff. Glamorgan F.H.S;#551.
Hi Graham That will almost certainly be the Siloam Welsh Baptist chapel in Corporation Rd which was converted from a chapel to Salvation Army use in 1955, but was disused by 1996, although a quick look on Google Earth shows it still has the Army boards up. Lay people are used in slightly different ways by different denominations: Here's a rough idea what the Baptists seem to do www.rpc.ox.ac.uk/index.php?pageid=93 Robert -----Original Message----- From: glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of robert williams Does anyone know if there is anything in Print on "Lay Preachers?"
