The Ancient British Church |
|
English
Christianity grew out of the British Church as well as the missions of St
Augustine. There are many legends surrounding British Christianity that have
become part and parcel of English Christianity, not least the legends of
Joseph of Arimathea and the influence of the Druids. These legends still have
the power to hold our imagination and inspire us. They also show us that
British and English Christianity has a distinct identity and origin that
pre-dates the Roman Catholic Church, its doctrines and dogmas and even the
New Testament itself. |
