THEME OF THIS WORKSHOP
Gweddïo yn Gymraeg – mamiaith neu ail iaith
Pray in Welsh – Mother tongue or second language
I rai ohonom, y Gymraeg yw ein hiaith gyntaf, yr iaith y buom yn gweddïo ynddi ers cael ein geni. Mae eraill ohonom wedi dysgu’r Gymraeg, ac efallai nad yw siarad â Duw yn Gymraeg yn dod yn naturiol i ni. Bydd y gweithdy hwn yn gyfle i rannu profiadau a gweddïo gyda’n gilydd yn Gymraeg. Bydd croeso i’r sawl sy’n dysgu’r Gymraeg. Cynhelir y gweithdy trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.
Whether as first language or a language learned later in life, many of us pray in Welsh. This workshop will give Welsh-speakers (first or learned language) an opportunity to share experiences and pray together. The workshop will be conducted in Welsh.
