  • Howell Harris (1714–1773) was one of the main leaders of the Welsh Methodist revival in the 18th century, along with Daniel Rowland and William Williams Pantycelyn. Harris was born at Talgarth in Brecknockshire in 1714. He underwent a religious conversion in 1735 while listening to a sermon by the Rev. Pryce Davies in the parish church on the necessity of partaking of Holy Communion. While listening to that sermon Harris came to the conviction that he had received mercy through the blood of Christ. He immediately began to tell others about this and to hold meetings in his own home encouraging others to seek the same assurance that he had of Christ's forgiveness. Having failed to be accepted for ordination in the Church of England because of his "Methodist" views, he became a travelling preacher and was tireless in his determination to spread the word throughout Wales. His preaching often led him into personal danger, and he endured considerable persecution and hardship before gaining a following. In 1750, having fallen out with Daniel Rowland, and having been the subject of a public scandal, he retreated to his home at Trefeca, near Brecon. In 1752, inspired by the example of the Moravians, he founded a religious community there, known as Teulu Trefeca (=The Trefeca family) with himself as "father". However, Harris had not given up preaching, and resumed his former activities in 1763, after reconciliation with Daniel Rowland. When he died, ten years later, and was buried close to his birthplace at Talgarth, twenty thousand people are said to have attended his funeral. He was effectively the founder of the Presbyterian church of Wales, also known as the Calvinistic Methodist church.
  • ハウエル・ハリス（英語：Howell Harris、1714年 - 1773年）は、18世紀、ウェールズ・メソジスト・リバイバルの指導者である。 彼は、1714年ウェールズ、トレヴェッカの農夫の家に生まれた。少年時代にイングランド国教会の牧師になりたいという願いを持っていたため、両親は貧しいながら出来る限り教育を受けさせた。 1735年に霊的な覚醒と回心を経験する。彼はキリストの血によって恵みを受けたという確信を持った。すぐにまわりの人々に証し、キリストの赦しの確信を求めるようにすすめ、家庭集会を始めた。 彼のメソジストの立場から、国教会に聖職者按手を拒まれ、野外説教者となってウェールズで福音を宣べ伝えた。 1750年、ダニエル・ローランドと争い、自分の家に退いた。1752年に、モラヴィア派の影響を受けて、キリスト教のコミュニティを設立する。ローランドと和解したハリスは、1763年、再び伝道活動を再開する。 彼が召天した時、二万人以上が葬儀に参加した。彼は事実上ウェールズ長老教会の創立者だった。
