Synod Cymru exercises the vast majority of its ministry in Welsh. Chapel culture is very strong within the Welsh speaking communities of WALES and so it is more natural for Welsh speaking Methodist congregations to form PARTNERSHIPS with other local Welsh speaking congregations. Such local ECUMENICAL PARTNERSHIPS (which may or may not be formal arrangements hence the LEP in commas) are most common with the Presbyterian Church of WALES and with chapels belonging to the Union of Welsh Independent Churches (UWI).
