Hi! I was curious about Cura Pastoralis! I wanted to know if this original work is available online. Did anyone translate this text into english? Thanks.

@vivianricharddavid I'm honestly not certain. My Rector desperately wanted me to add the information on Cura Pastoralis to the video so I looked up the info and compiled. Truthfully almost anything you can find is online.

I really enjoyed this ,although at certain points you rushed through words i.e. where you mention the scots being... -at this point I could not understand even though I played it back many times-was it in Northern Ireland?

[MapleAnglican]

@MrGean43 Yeah, I am getting better at not rushing words. The Scots were originally from the northern part of Ireland in what we would presently call Ulster, some of which is still part of the United Kingdom, and part in the Republic of Ireland.

Great video! A nice historical introduction. I appreciate your work and would lie to see it use in my Parish as an introduction to the History of Anglicanism.

[MapleAnglican]

@nervoussim Thank you very much. I am hoping to have part 6, dealing with the era from the Post Restoration to the Act of Union, out next week.

This video series was designed primarily to deal with the "hard facts" of Anglican history, thus a few of the stories you mentioned would have not worked very well. Also, I was limited to 15 minutes of content back then. My goal with this particular video was to give viewers a historical backdrop the the events of English Church history under Henry VIII

Good to show a continuous history of Christianity in the British Isles. Must say that (from tradition and legend) St Joseph of Arimathea and St Mary the mother of Jesus first came to Glastonbury in AD 37; Apostles visited also: SS Peter and Paul and others. The British Church of old was very active and even had its own Creed found in St. Patrick's 'Confession', 4th paragraph. The old traditions and legends helped shape Christianity in Britain even to this day. Excellent work.
