Gwilym Edwards

Gwilym Arthur Edwards (31 May 1881 – 5 October 1963) was a Welsh Presbyterian minister and writer on theological topics.

His father, Owen Edwards, a Presbyterian minister, emigrated to Australia for health reasons, but his wife, Mary, died before she could join him with the children.

Edwards was then brought up by his maternal grandparents in Dolgellau and was educated at the county school there before studying at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth.

Edwards had begun preaching at an early age and was ordained in 1909, serving firstly at Zion chapel in Carmarthen.

A pamphlet he wrote on Sunday School teachers and world peace was published by the United Nations in 1934.
