St Chad - A Reminder to not allow a repeat of the Whitby Synod!

St Chad - A Reminder to this time resist the Roman Empire Churches and their Assassins from the Lurches! 

By Countess Sigrid von Galen





 

We live in very similar times to the power games of the Vatican that were going on at the time of the Whitby Synod.

St Chad was a most humble holy man. His vision of the church was as simple as it was a living community.

He walked from house to house even as a bishop rather than sat on a high horse and throne.

He would travel with the psalms and listen as a real shepherd to the concerns of his flock first hand.

His faith was deeply rooted in the truth and in his time the Celtic Church saw communities of married priests and nuns, who raised their children in holy communities or as small
families, who led by example.

The synod of Whitby saw the Roman Church bullying and murdering even for their Roman Empire church and St Theodore made St Chad at first redundant as bishop but then, when he saw the humility of St Chad reinstated him as Bishop of York.

He was close to St Etheldreda, who like him, also ran a community of her own. They would have probably got married in simpler times but they put their church first.












Chad[a] (died 2 March 672) was a prominent 7th century Anglo-Saxon churchman, who became abbot of several monasteries, Bishop of the Northumbrians and subsequently Bishop of the Mercians and Lindsey People. He was later canonised as a saint. He was the brother of Cedd, also a saint. He features strongly in the work of the Venerable Bede and is credited, together with Cedd, with introducing Christianity to the Mercian kingdom.
