The Calvinistic Methodists, a breakaway movement from the Anglican church, regarded themselves as spiritually and morally superior to the Anglicans. God. while he may or may not be Welsh, was certainly a Calvinist. In 1873, the Rev Morris Williams, better known by his bardic name, Nicander, the vicar of neighbouring Llanrhuddlad Image, in welcoming the Rev Grey-Edwards as the new incumbent of Llanfachreth Image wrote "Dissent is better organised here..but what we have to contend against is not hostile violence as much as apathy. The Dissenters here do not hate the Church as much as they ignore it.." Such attitudes were still prevalent as late as the 1950s.
