ABSTRACT No sense of inter-Celtic harmony underpinned the Wales-wide campaign to set up a Welsh Methodist chapel on Talbot Street, Dublin, in 1838. Rather, it was the Welsh community’s determination to take on the Church of Rome, and to ensure that the Welsh diaspora in Dublin – many of them seamen serving on vessels making the short crossing to Holyhead – would be ministered to in their native language. Bethel chapel proved to be remarkably successful, with its use of Welsh attracting the interest of members of the Gaelic League in the early twentieth century. Bethel chapel continued to be used by its Welsh congregation until 1939. The building survives as a cyber café, used by the Chinese community, and is on Dublin City Council’s record of protected structures.

“两只手在两沙上”：卡佩尔·伯特利，杜林：都柏林的威尔士礼拜堂

摘要整个威尔士运动在1838年在都柏林的塔尔伯特街建立威尔士卫理公会教堂的活动中，没有任何凯尔特人之间的和谐感得到支撑。相反，威尔士社区决心接手罗马教堂，并确保都柏林的威尔士侨民（其中许多海员在乘船前往霍利黑德（Holyhead）的短程渡船上服务）将以其母语接受服务。伯特利教堂经证明非常成功，因为它在威尔士的使用吸引了二十世纪初盖尔联盟成员的兴趣。伯特利教堂一直被其威尔士会众使用，直到1939年。这座建筑作为华人社区的网吧而幸存下来，并被都柏林市议会记录为受保护建筑物。
