Saint Theodore of Tarsus

Saint Theodore of Tarsus was a Greek monk who was consecrated as the Archbishop of Canterbury in the year 668. He was one of the most significant of the people to hold this post.  In Saint Theodore's time, England was not a single nation, but divided into Kingdoms like Kent, Northumberland and Mercia. The English church was similarly divided, and there were disagreements on various issues, like when to celebrate Easter. Saint Theodore convened the Council of Hertford, which established a common structure for the English church. He also promoted learning and scholarship, founding important schools in England. The great English historian Bede  wrote of Saint Theodore's episcopacy thus: "never had there been such happy times as these since the English settled Britain."The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion.
