ARTICLES RELATED TO Augustine of Canterbury | | | |  Augustine of Canterbury: Encyclopedia - Augustine of CanterburyAugustine of Canterbury (birth unknown, died May 26, 604) was the first Archbishop of Canterbury, sent to Ethelbert of Kent, Bretwalda of England by Pope Gregory the Great in 597.

| | | | Augustine of Canterbury: Encyclopedia - Birinus Birinus (c. 600 - 649/650), saint, was the first bishop of Dorchester in England and the "Apostle to the West Saxons."
After Augustine of Canterbury performed initial conversions in England, Birinus, a Frank, came to the kingdoms of Wessex in 634. Birinus had been made bishop by Asterius in Genoa, and Pope Pope Honorius I created the commission to convert the West Saxons. In 635, he persuaded the West Saxon king, Cynegils, to allow him to preach. Cynegils was trying to create an alliance with Oswald of Northumbria, with whom he ...

| | | | Augustine of Canterbury: Encyclopedia II - History of the Roman Catholic Church - Prologue: The ministry of Jesus of Nazareth c. 4 BC – AD 33 The Roman Catholic Church was founded on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, known as Jesus Christ, "Christ" meaning the same as "Messiah". Jesus was a carpenter from the region of Galilee and observed the Jewish faith. Roman Catholicism thus considers itself a successor religion to Judaism with the Christian God and the God of the Jews seen as one and the same.
Some suppose that Jesus, when twelve years old, experienced a revelation in Herod's Temple in Jerusalem, realizing that he was the Son of God. This is an interpreta ...

| | | | Augustine of Canterbury: Encyclopedia II - History of Kent - Iron Age Kent The modern name Kent is derived from the Brythonic word 'Cantus' meaning a rim or border, being applied as a name to the eastern part of the modern county, and meaning 'border land' or 'coastal district.' Julius Caesar described it as Cantium, although he did not record the inhabitants' name for themselves, in 51 BC. His writings suggest localised groups of people whose chieftains were flattered by his description of them as 'kings'. Pottery studies indicate the county east of the River Medway was inhabited by Belgic peoples who were part of an economic and cultural region embracing south east ...

Jesus, himself, was a carpenter from the region of Galilee and practiced as a member of the Jewish faith. Roman Catholicism, therefore, considers itself to be a successor religion to Judaism with the Christian God and the God of the Jews seen as one and the same.
The development of the religion which would eventually become Christianity began for Jesus at a young age. Church tradition holds that, sometime in his early teens, Jesus ...

| | | | Augustine of Canterbury: Encyclopedia II - Germanic Christianity - Timeline In the 4th century some Germanic tribes, notably the Goths, adopted Arianism. From the 6th century, Germanic tribes were converted (and re-converted) by missionaries of Celtic Christianity. The influence of the Roman Catholic Church over Germania also began in the 6th century, firstly among the Franks, after Clovis I embraced Catholicism in 496. The Lombards adopted Catholicism as they entered Italy, during the 6th century.
Christianization of Anglo-Saxon England began around AD 600, influenced by Celtic Christianity from the north-we ...

| | | | Augustine of Canterbury: Encyclopedia II - Bede - Work His works show that he had at his command all the learning of his time. It was thought that the library at Wearmouth-Jarrow was between 300-500 books, making it one of the largest in England. It is clear that Biscop made strenuous efforts to collect books on his extensive travels. Bede was proficient in patristic literature, and quotes Pliny the Younger, Virgil, Lucretius, Ovid, Horace, and other classical writers, but with some disapproval. He knew some Greek but no Hebrew. His Latin is generally clear and without affectation, and he was a skillful story-teller. However, his style can be considerably more obscure ...

| | | | Augustine of Canterbury: Encyclopedia II - Pope Gregory I - Lombards Gregory's independent action in appointing governors to cities, providing munitions of war, giving instructions to generals, sending ambassadors to the Lombard king, and even negotiating a peace without consulting the Emperor's legate, Romanus, Exarch of Ravenna, mark the decisive acts that revealed the papacy as an independent temporal power. Gregory's childhood in the disasters of the Gothic War, his secular cursus honorum, his sojourn in Constantinople, and doubtless his personal assessment of the Exarch, convinced him that no help ...

| | | | Augustine of Canterbury: Encyclopedia II - Kent - Political divisions
Kent - Man of Kent or Kentish Man?.
Kent is traditionally divided into West Kent and East Kent by the River Medway. This division into east and west is also reflected in the term Men of Kent for residents east of the Medway; those from west are known as Kentish Men.
However, further investigation shows that the division is not the Medway, but further east in Gillingham. Edward Hasted, in his 1798 description of Rainham, writes: "The whole of this parish is in the division of East Kent which begins here, the adjoining parish of Gillingham, w ...
