In a recent blog, Gord Heath offers reflections on Bede’s "The Ecclesiastical History of the English People" (c. 731) and what it can teach us in post-Christendom. As he writes: "There is much to say about the book, with its fascinating descriptions of saints and sinners, relics and miracles, missionaries and monarchs, and church divisions and unions. But what I want to address here is how the text stirs the imagination when it comes to post-Christendom missions and possibil...ities."
