[Untitled][edit]

Interestingly, Thomann (2001) credits Morgan as a proponent of "Neo-Celtic Christianity". A term that appears to be virtually non-existent outside of Thomann's publication. Out of five(!) google hits, four are citing Thomann, and one is a forum post. There are a few more hits for "Neo-Celtic Christians" and "Neo-Celtic Christian movement", but if such a movement exists, it doesn't exactly spam the internet. Perhaps this is better known under a different term? --dab (𒁳) 21:00, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Even more intriguing, here is a web page which claims that

"the Catholic Apostolic Church (Catholicate of the West), entered into a formal Act of Union with the Apostolic Episcopal Church in 1946 and as Patriarch of Glastonbury he and his successor became members of the AEC Synod in perpetuity. However, this affiliation ended in 1994 when, under his successor, his church was received into union as an English Rite diocese of the Coptic Orthodox Church and by that act resigned all affiliation with the AEC.

"Ignatius Boutros IV al-Ma’usili (Mar Ignace Peter) (1798-1894), then Metropolitan of Emesa (Homs), later 116th Syrian-Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch in succession to ST PETER THE APOSTLE, consecrated as Mar Julius, Bishop of Iona and its dependencies, 6 June 1866:

"Jules Raimond Ferrette (Mar Julius) (1828-1904), who consecrated on 6 March 1874:
"Richard Williams Morgan (Mar Pelagius) (1815-89), First Patriarch, The Ancient British Church (1874)."

Morgan was consecrated as "Mar Pelagius" as the "First Patriarch of the Ancient British Church" in 1874? By ono Jules Raimond Ferrette who had in turn been consecrated by the Syrian-Orthodox Metropolitan of Emesa, Syria?? --dab (𒁳) 21:08, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More detail here. I am amazed we don't yet cover this. --dab (𒁳) 21:29, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Publications[edit]

The original list of RWM's publications came straight from the Dictionary of Welsh Biography. I've added several from the British Library catalogue and from COPAC - I hope this doesn't count as 'original research', the titles are readily verifiable from online sources, and the 'Pelagius' publications are in Thomann's book.

Ancient British Church article[edit]

I've added a link to the new (November 2012) page on the Ancient British Church - but someone should really check whether the accounts are consistent! RWM still deserves his own biog page because of all his activities separate from his involvement in the Ancient British Church. John O'London (talk) 11:13, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
