Everything about Early Insular Christianity totally explained
Early Insular Christianity is a term used to cover Christianity in the
British Isles during the
post-Roman period (5th to 8th centuries). It splits into two strands:*
Celtic Christianity (5th to 8th centuries), the Christianity surviving from the Roman period in the British/Brythonic areas of the British Isles (eg Ireland, Wales, Scotland) and spread to England by the
Hiberno-Scottish mission
The
Synod of Whitby of
664 forms a significant watershed in that King
Oswiu of Northumbria decided to follow Roman rather than Celtic practices, but the two rites co-existed for another century, Wales observing the Celtic
Easter date until
768. The
Anglo-Saxon mission in the 7th to 8th centuries spread Christianity to the Continent, as had the earlier Celtic missions.
