Today (8 Nov), the Church celebrates: The Saints and Martyrs of England

The Saints and Martyrs of England

The date when Christianity first came to the British Isles is not known, but there were British bishops at the Council of Arles in the year 314, indicating a Church with order and worship.

Since those days, Christians from these lands have shared the message of the good news at home and around the world.

As the worldwide fellowship of the Anglican Communion has developed, incorporating peoples of many nations and cultures, individual Christian men and women have shone as beacons, heroically bearing witness to their Lord, some through a simple life of holiness, others by giving their lives for the sake of Christ.
