Life
Following the publication of "Essays and Reviews" in 1860, in which Williams compared those opposed to the new biblical criticism then coming out of Germany to “degenerate senators before Tiberius”, the editor of the paper and Williams were tried and condemned for heresy in the court of arches; their acquittal, on appeal to the judicial committee of the privy council, afforded a valuable protection to liberty of thought within the church of England.
Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas, Presiding Officer of the National Assembly for Wales, opened a new research centre at the University of Wales, Lampeter on Friday 8 April 2005, named in honour of Williams: "The Rowland Williams Research Centre for Theology and Religion". In attendance at the first conference were three great-great nephews of Rowland Williams.
