[ORTHODOX ENGLAND on the 'net] ~~ You might enjoy this website's information.

I might... but I ran site-specific GOOGLE searches on the Link. "Erigina" (or "Eriugina"), "Sedulius", "Gallus", and "Claudius Scotus" returned essentially ZERO results.

This is like a website on "Roman Catholicism" returning ZERO results on "Athanasius", "Jerome", and "Augustine". HUH?!

If this is "ORTHODOX ENGLAND on the 'net" ~~ where are the Scottish Fathers?

History is History. One cannot define the Celtic Orthodox Church without reference to Erigina, Gallus, Claudius Scotus -- and yes, the most prolific of them all, the Ultra-Predestinarian Celtic Orthodox Father Sedulius Scotus. Not anymore than one could chronicle the History of the Western Latins without reference to Augustine.

Every time I post I don't mind a history lesson. Unlike Scotland and Wales - England was unique in that the people were at first pagan Anglo-Saxon/Jute invaders who came into a nominally Christian Britania of the late Roman Empire. The pagan Anglo-Saxons were later converted into a force for Christianity. They are not related to Celts by blood or even by missionary work since the conversion of the English was done from Rome rather then from Scotland or Wales. That is why the Celts get a passing mention but are of a seperate narrative to this English story and not told here. I hope that is clear.
