Richard Rohlin - The English & the Old World

Fellow podcaster and philologist Richard Rohlin joins WAWTAR today to explore the roots of European Christianity and by extension American Protestant Christianity. Along the way John and Richard talk about Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and the history of the European church (just a little anyways).

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.
WAWTAR now has a Facebook group: Why Are We Talking About (More) Rabbits? Join us for more conversation at: / 797121200908155

As a Continuing Anglican fan of this whole Orthodox space on web, from y'all to Pagaeu, to LOS, etc.. I'm really looking forward to it! The Continuum has largely rejected the Protestant inheritance of Anglicanism, yet most won't come into communion with Roman Catholicism via the Ordinariates. Very unique situation we're in. Your work is bound to be a great resource for us.

[@RoyalProtectorate]

I think most of that reason is after Edward the 6th Anglicanism does in fact become it's own thing within the Reformation and is set apart against Roman Catholicism. It's fundamentally different from in it's doctrine now

[@JAMESKOURTIDES]

Thank you, gentlemen.

[@jesseausthof9121]

Cheers Heers! this was a great episode. It seems with a lot of the people I respect on this side of the internet they caught on to something big and let it stew for decades before sharing with the world. Thanks. Shout out from Grand Rapids, Michigan

[@brandorev]

Glad to hear someone else from GR is listening to this.

Nice to hear Fr Seraphim Aldea mentioned, I am very interested in the Orthodox monestary of all Celtic saints but haven’t heard it talked about much

[@stuckmannen3876]

Same :)

[@SteveBedford]

This is fascinating. I can't wait for the new podcast!

[@cyndibee2289]

I really enjoyed this. Thanks and God bless.

Maybe because I grew up in England, and have always been deeply interested in the ancient history of my country, I consider Anglo-Saxon Christianity to be a late (though interesting) development. There is clear historical and archeological evidence of a British Church established before the 5th C, and derived by direct line from Roman Judea to Roman Britain.Therefore, by definition, close to the original teachings and rituals. We cannot reconstruct what those teachings and rituals were, but it seems reasonable to assume they would have been similar to those transferred to other very early churches, for example in Alexandria.

[@stuckmannen3876]

Solid, looking forward to the podcast about early english christianity he talked about

[@stuckmannen3876]

Solid video!

[@TheRamblingBooth]

When will the Roodscreen begin production?

[@BrianOfCollegeStation]

What was the name of that new podcast? Great Rune Podcast? I can’t find it

[@aidan4062]

2:25 When/Where can we find The Great Rood Screen podcast?

[@felixwalne3494]

Did you find it?

[@wmarkfish]

Wasn’t Constantine’s Mother from England and a Christian from her youth?

[@quistian]

And the manner in which the Anglo Saxons were converted and the methods used?

[@emZee1994]

I'd you're asking if it was forced conversions, no it wasn't. Orthodox and pre-schism Christianity didn't use forced conversions. Roman Catholicism started to do this post-schism

[@quistian]

@@emZee1994 Yep. Agreed.

[@adambowman6401]

Prayers rules? Is this a catholic thing?
