It’s a Community simple formula; where there is no discipleship and no spiritual disciplines there Groups 11 will be no spiritual formation.

  • VIKING-AGE YORK the City 2
    VIKING-AGE YORK The City 2. The Viking Capture of York Richard Hall What we know about the Vikings’ capture of York comes mostly from written records of that time, in particular the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which gives an account of the most important happenings each year. EARLY RAIDS It tells how Viking raids on Britain began in AD 793 (1) with the attack on the monastery at Lindisfarne, and became more frequent until in 851 a Viking army stayed in England through the winter, instead of sailing home to Scandinavia in the autumn with their loot. Another group of Vikings stayed throughout 855-6, and then in 865 a “great army” of Vikings, as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle described them, landed in East Anglia. No-one knows how big this “great army” was - perhaps only a few hundred warriors, or possibly several thousand; one or two thousand may be the most reasonable number to suggest. This army was to stay in England for the next 14 years, strengthened from time to time by newcomers. Its aim was not just to seize loot but to take over the various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and settle permanently in England. In AD 866 they took horses from the East Anglians and set off for York, the capital of the Anglo-Saxon A stone cross at Middleton Church, North Yorkshire; kingdom of Northumbria.

  • NORTH-WEST MERCIA DURING the Half-Century Which Is Covered by the Reigns of Alfred the Great
    NORTH-WEST MERCIA A.D. 871-924 By F. T. Wainwright Read 21 November, I9421 URING the half-century which is covered by the reigns D of Alfred the Great (871-899) and Edward the Elder (899- 924) there occurred a terrible calamity, the Scandinavian invasions, which exercised a profound and permanent influence upon the history and racial composition of Britain. The outline of events is reasonably clear, for we possess a contemporary account in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Unfortunately, the Chronicle scribes, interested primarily in the West Saxon angle of the story, were unwilling or unable to describe conditions or events remote from their central theme. Amongst those regions of which a fuller knowledge would be especially welcome we must include North-west Mercia, that is to say modern Cheshire and parts of adjoining counties. The present paper attempts a popular survey of this area. It should be remembered that the story of Cheshire can be understood only when, in its proper setting, it is co-ordinated with the story of England. This, no less than the paucity and inferential nature of the evidence, demands that Cheshire be regarded as part of the kingdom of Mercia which was, in its turn, faced with a menace common to all the English states. In all probability the main Scandinavian settlements in Cheshire occurred during the reigns of Alfred and his son. It is extremely unlikely that any Scandinavians had settled in Cheshire before Alfred's accession, and we have no reason to suppose that such settlers were numerous after Edward's death.

THE BAPTISM OF EDWIN, KING OF NORTHUMBRIA: A NEW ANALYSIS OF THE BRITISH TRADITION CAITLIN CORNING* George Fox University, Newberg, Oregon SINCE THE NINTH CENTURY, at the latest, two versions of Edwin's baptism have existed. The more familiar one, found in Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica and the Anonymous Vita Gregorii, claims that Edwin was baptized by Paulinus, a member of the papal mission.' The British sources, however, give a different version of events. The HistoriaBrittonum and the Annates Cambriae record that it was Rhun, son of Urien, who was the baptizer.' An attempt to assess the validity of the British claim is critical because it has important ramifications in the relationship between Northumbria and the Kingdom of Rheged in the early seventh century.
