I am an engineer now but did teacher training in Doncaster at Holy Family Catholic Primary School. The school held a retreat to Northumbria for the final year kids. They stayed at Ushaw College, which was the Catholic seminary once and associated with University of Durham. Now they just seem to run events. But there's still a beautiful chapel to St. Cuthbert i believe. We took the children to "Holy Island", visited the ruins and held a small service at St. Mary's, which is CoE, but they had a good relationship with its vicar. We visited the priory, of course and then Durham Cathedral.
Really beautiful time, also recommend Bamburgh beach and castle which is just down the road. Quite a beautiful and desolate coastline. Any visit there needs to take in Alnwick castle, the largest in the UK and still part time home to the Percy family. Also not far from Newcastle and a short hop from Edinburgh.
Also mimics the pattern of King and Prophet often seen in the Old Testament.
I so agree with your comment about the essential role of bishops! Why are so many of our priests in admin roles in the US? It's such a waste of their God-given calling to be a shepherd. Let others do the admin work, and let our priests be who Jesus called them to be-our good shepherds.
I believe the word is "Christian", not Catholic. Catholicism, as represented by Augustine sent by the Pope, were a different branch at the time. Much to recommend the original Irish version over the later Roman.
Probably worth noting that England didnt exist then. The area was Bernicia and extended from the Humber upto East Lothian... Edinburgh.
And St. Patrick was probably English, maybe Welsh...and he converted the Irish... Didnt he?
No. There were already christians on Ireland when Patrick arrived from Wales. But he made the christian faith popular.
