Tabernacle (Welsh Tabernacl) is a listed place of worship in the suburb of Roath, Cardiff, Wales. In 1999, the building gained Grade II Listed status 'primarily for its well-integrated interior containing handsome ceiling and trusses, supported on two levels of columns with Gothic braces, elegant gallery fronts and original fittings'. Heath Evangelical Church began as the Heath Forward Movement Hall, which opened on 11 November 1900, with the first members being enrolled on 27 January 1901. Highly active during the 1904-1905 Welsh revival (it was once described as being 'alive with Revival fire'), the church was replaced by the present building in 1906. Seth Joshua's mission reported in 1907 that the church was 'waiting the coming tide', and it was not unknown for people to queue for services at this stage. The church pursued a strong missionary program both at home and abroad. After some years of disagreement in the 1960s regarding the rising trend of ecumenicalism, the congregation seceded from the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church on 1 January 1971 after struggle which involved a sit-in. In the closing decades of the 20th century, it was one of the best-attended churches in Cardiff, with 900 members in the 1980s. Work amongst Cardiff's student community also became prominent, with the church appointing a full-time worker for overseas students in 1981. In 1985, a group left to form Highfields Church, and moved into the disused Cathays Presbyterian Church in 1997. More information...
