Bro Ardudwy is a Ministry Area of the Church in Wales which is part of the Diocese of Bangor. It is located within the Meirionydd Synod.




Initial formation


Bro Ardudwy Uchaf was formed by a decree from the Bishop of Bangor on 1 October 2011. The decree dissolved the former Benefices and Parishes of:

Harlech and Llanfair juxta Harlech
Llanfihangel-y-Traethau and Llandecwyn
LLanenddwyn (otherwise Dyffryn) with Llanddwywe
Llanbedr with Llandanwg
The former Churches within Bro Ardudwy Uchaf were then raised to the status of Parish Churches within the area and consisted of:

St Tanwg's Church, Harlech
St Michael's Church, Ynys
St Tecwyn's Church, Llandecwyn
Christ Church, Talsarnau
St Peter's Church, Llanbedr
St Mary's Church, Llanfair
St Tanwg's Church, Llandanwg
St Enddwyn's Church, Dyffryn
St Ddwywe's Church, Llanddwywe
The new Ministry Area was overseen by a Ministry Area Council that had the same powers as the former PCC's of the former Parishes.




Enlargement


On 3 September 2015 the Bishop of Bangor signed another decree that formed Bro Ardudwy and removed the portion of 'Uchaf' from its name. The new area of Bro Ardudwy included all of the previous Churches but also included the Churches of the Benefice and Parishes of Llanaber with Barmouth and Caerdeon with Bontddu which were all raised to the status of Parish Churches. The Parishes of Llanaber with Barmouth and Caerdeon with Bontddu were disbanded at the same time as the decree that formed Bro Ardudwy.
The Churches that were added to Bro Ardudwy included:

St Mary and St Bodfan Church, Llanaber
St David's Church, Barmouth
St John's Church, Barmouth
St Philip's Church, Caerdeon
The Ministry Area Council was enlarged to include extra members from the extra Churches making up the extended area of Bro Ardudwy.
