Peter Fergusson on
Canterbury

Our Christian lineage descends through Canterbury. In 597 Pope Gregory the Great launched a mission to re-christianize England. Led by St Augustine, it established a community
inside the Roman city of Canterbury. From these beginnings and later branchings, our Episcopal church derives. Thus Edie and Chris started their April, 2010 England pilgrimage
with twenty parishioners at the Cathedral. Canterbury enjoys a large literature. Adding to it is a recent book by a parishioner, Peter Fergusson. Titled Canterbury Cathedral Priory
in the Age of Becket
(Yale University Press–London, 2011), it recovers the rebuilding undertaken at the start of Plantagenet rule in the mid-1150s. Seen in human terms, the rebuilding can be organized around issues of health, hygiene, law, hospitality,
and liturgical change. These will be the focus for three illustrated sessions in the Christian Learning Series: Jan 8th, 15th, and 22nd, led by Peter himself.
