Joyfulness, prayerfulness and thankfulness (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) are the basis for the Church in this country. There was a strong Celtic Church before Augustine was sent from Rome in 597AD. The people we hear about moved around this country as God directed them. Iona and Lindisfarne were particularly important. Prayer resulted in people walking and working with God. The Bible was translated into English, missonary schools were founded and many people started following Jesus as their Saviour and Healer. Let's be faithful to God in our own particular pilgrimage over the coming months.
