Twelve Archbishops from around Europe are meeting in Wales this week.
The two-day meeting is being hosted by the Church in Wales and brings together Archbishops from member churches of the Porvoo Communion.
The Porvoo Communion is a communion of Anglican and Lutheran churches that have signed an agreement to "share a common life in mission and service".
They include the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, David Chillingworth.
It is the first time that leaders of the Porvoo churches have met in Wales.
They are meeting for the first time in two years at St Michael's College, Llandaff, on Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss common issues and build up stronger relationships between their churches.
The meeting began with a service at Llandaff Cathedral on Monday with a sermon preached by the Archbishop of Uppsala, Andres Wejryd.
Dr Morgan said: “I am delighted to welcome the leaders of the Porvoo Communion to Wales for the first time and I hope we will inspire each other with our different traditions as well as strengthen the links we have already build up between our churches.”
