[QUOTE]Originally posted by cassiterides: [QB] Britain was the LAST place to get Christianity. ====== Actually it was the first place. Evidences - The First Epistle of Clement notes that Paul traveled to the utmost parts of the west (3: 10–15) - meaning Britain and Spain. The first four Church councils (Council of Pisa 1409, Council of Constance 1414, Council of Siena 1423 and Council of Basle 1431), all agreed: ''... the Churches of France and Spain must yield in points of antiquity and precedence to that of [b]Britain as the latter Church was founded by Joseph of Arimathea[/b] immediately after the passion of Christ'' In circa 200 A.D., Tertullian mentions that "the extremities of Spain, the various parts of Gaul, the regions of Britain which have never been penetrated by the Roman armies, have received the religion of Christ''. Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea in the early 300s, records that "the apostles passed beyond the ocean to the Isles called the British Isles" (Demonstratio Evangelica, Bk. 3, chap. 5). Eusebius had access to a substantial library at Caesarea, which contained sources that have since been lost. Theodoret, bishop of Cyprus in Syria (circa 430ad) states that "Paul, liberated from his first captivity at Rome, preached the Gospel to the Britons and others in the West… and the Cymry [the Welsh]" (D. Civ. Gracae Off., Bk. 9). Around 300ad, Dorotheous, bishop of Tyre, stated that "Aristobulus, whom Paul saluted [Romans 16:10] was bishop of Britain" and that Simon Zelotes also came to Britain (Synopsis de Apostol., Synops. 9, 23). G Gildas says that the coming of Christianity to Britain "happened first, as we know, in the last years of the emperor Tiberius [14–37ad]" (The Ruin of Britain, p. 18). This means that Christianity arrived in Britain no later than 37ad—less than a decade after Christ's crucifixion. James Ussher, Archbishop of Ireland and one of the greatest scholars of the 17th century, presented considerable evidence that James, Simon Zelotes, Simon Peter, the Apostle Paul and others brought Christianity to Europe's western isles in the first century (The Whole Works of James Ussher, vol. 5, chap. 1, Erlington). Robert Parsons, an English Jesuit and Oxford scholar, asserted in his 17th century work The Three Conversions of England that the apostles first brought Christianity to the island, and that "the Christian religion began in Britain within fifty years of Christ's Ascension" (p. 14 Nikephoros I of Constantinople also wrote in the early 9th century AD that: ''Simon... the same doctrine he taught to the Occidental Sea, and the Isles called Britanniae'' Caesar Baronius dated Simon's visit to Britain in 44 AD. Aristobulus of Britannia arrived in Britain around 60 AD and an [b]ancient epitaph of his name was unearthed in Dorchester, England[/b]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Chapter_of_the_Acts_of_the_Apostles The Lost Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, also known as the Sonnini Manuscript, is a short text purporting to be the translation of a manuscript containing the 29th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, detailing St. Paul's journey to Britain.
