Ann Griffiths' work, The Hymns of Ann Griffiths, of Dolwar Fechan, Translated into English Verse, is a collection of hymns that delve into themes of faith, devotion, and the human experience. Written in a poetic and spiritual style, Griffiths' hymns are considered a significant contribution to Welsh literature and religious poetry. The lyrical quality of her writing, combined with the deep emotional impact of her words, sets her work apart in the literary context of hymnody and religious poetry. Each hymn is a reflection of Griffiths' personal experiences and beliefs, making them not only poetic expressions but also profound spiritual meditations. Ann Griffiths, a Welsh poet and hymn writer, drew inspiration from her Christian faith and the natural beauty of her surroundings to create these timeless pieces of literature. Her deep connection to nature and her unwavering faith shine through in her hymns, providing readers with a source of comfort and introspection. I highly recommend The Hymns of Ann Griffiths to readers who appreciate poetry that delves into the depths of spirituality and the human soul, offering a unique blend of beauty, emotion, and faith.
Alan Sell explores the lives and ideas of four unjustly neglected Anglican philosophers: W. G. De Burgh (1866-1943); W. R. Matthews (1881-1973); 0. C. Quick (1885-1944); H. A. Hodges (1905-1976). This study fills an important gap in the history of twentieth-century philosophical and theological thought. Sell argues that these writers covered a wide range of philosophical topics in an illuminating way, and that a comparison of their respective standpoints and methods is instructive from the point of view of the viability or otherwise of Christian philosophizing. He discusses the challenges these four philosophical Anglicans issued to certain important trends in the philosophy and theology of their day, and argues that some of them are of continuing relevance.
This book is a comprehensive single-volume history of literature in the two major languages of Wales from post-Roman to post-devolution Britain.
Fairacres Publications 146 Despite the distance separating eighteenth-century Welsh Methodism from nineteenth-century French Catholicism, Ann Griffiths in Wales and the Carmelite Elizabeth of the Trinity in France are as one in the passionate intensity of their prayer and in their theological perception of God the Holy Trinity as the supreme reality. The author examines common themes in the writings of the two women.

The hymn is one of the great highlights of Welsh literature. In this volume, Professor E. Wyn James, an acknowledged expert on Welsh hymnology, draws together the late Professor H. A. Hodges's writings on William Williams Pantycelyn, Ann Griffiths and the Welsh hymn, including his acclaimed English translations of Ann Griffiths's hymns and letters and his unpublished notes on them.
Donald Allchin was an ordained priest in the Church of England, an historian, ecumenist, and contemplative theologian. The essays, poems, and memoires in this book represent what his Christian vision has brought forth in the lives of the contributors. You will meet poets, historians, bishops, archbishops, monks, priests, lay persons, and scholars. You will taste the rich ecumenical dialogue between Donald's Anglican heritage, Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Roman Catholic Church, and churches of the Reformed Traditions, including Donald's friendships and correspondence with Thomas Merton and the Romanian Orthodox theologian Dumitru Stăniloae. Readers will gain insights into Donald's interpretation of the Anglican Tradition and his emphasis on the value of monastic solitude and community for the lives of modern Christians. You will enter Donald's journey into the lives, poetry, saints, and holy places of the Welsh spiritual tradition. And this is only a taste of his legacy. In Donald's words, "For the things which belong to the story of Jesus are not yet completed."
Poetry.

The intention was to preserve her work, which previously was scattered around the Internet in dozens of different locations. GRASSHOPPER: THE POETRY OF M A GRIFFITHS is intended as an archive of Margaret's work and contains 316 poems, some scraps, some work in progress, but mainly finished poems. First published by Arrowhead Press in the UK in January, 2011 and reprinted by Able Muse Press in the US in April, 2011, the book now resides in the National Archive at the British Library and in the main Copyright Libraries.
