U-Saint Augustine waseCanterbury, oyiNgcwele womhla wama-27 kuCanzibe
Ibali lika-Saint Augustine waseCanterbury
Ngonyaka wama-596, malunga neemonki ezingama-40 zashiya iRoma zaya kushumayela iiAnglo-Saxon eNgilani. Owayekhokela iqela yayinguAugustine, owayephambili kwimonastri yabo. Akuzange kwenzeke ukuba yena namadoda akhe bafike eGaul xa besiva amabali ngoburhalarhume bama-Anglo-Saxon kunye namanzi akhohlisayo e-English Channel. UAugustine wabuyela eRoma nakuGregory Omkhulu - upopu owayebathumile- ukuba aqiniseke kuye ukuba uloyiko lwabo alunasihlahla.
Agostino washiya. Ngeli xesha iqela lawela iTshaneli laza lafika kummandla waseKent, lilawulwa nguKumkani u-Ethelbert, umhedeni otshate nomKristu, uBertha. U-Ethelbert wabamkela ngobubele, wabamisela indawo yokuhlala eCanterbury kwaye ebudeni bonyaka, ngeCawa yeWhit 597, wabhaptizwa. Emva kokubekwa njengobhishophu ozinikeleyo eFrance, uAugustine wabuyela eCanterbury, apho waseka khona icawe yakhe. Wakha icawe kunye noonongendi kufutshane nalapho ikhoyo icawa, eqale ngo-1070, ngoku emi. Njengokholo lusasazeka, amanye amasebe amiselwa eLondon naseRochester.
Ngamanye amaxesha umsebenzi wawucotha kwaye uAugustine wayengasoloko ephumelela. Imizamo yokuxolelanisa ama-Anglo-Saxon namaKristu akuqala aseBritane- awayetyhalelwe kwintshona yeNgilani ngabahlaseli baseAnglo-Saxon- yaphela ngokungaphumeleli. UAugustine wasilela ukweyisela iBritane ukuba iyeke amasiko athile amaCeltic ngokungafaniyo neRoma kwaye alibale ubukrakra babo, emnceda ukuba ashumayele ama-Anglo-Saxon.
Ukusebenza ngomonde, uAugustine ngobulumko wayilandela imigaqo-siseko yobufundisi-ekhanyiselwe ngokwaneleyo ukulungiselela amaxesha - acetyiswa nguPopu Gregory: hlambulula kunokuba utshabalalise iitempile namasiko obuhedeni; vumela izithethe zobuhedeni kunye nemibhiyozo ijike ibe ziholide zamaKristu; gcina amasiko asekuhlaleni kangangoko. Impumelelo encinci u-Augustine ayifumene eNgilane ngaphambi kokubhubha kwakhe ngo-605, kungekudala emva kweminyaka esibhozo efikile, yayiza kuthi ekugqibeleni ivelise iziqhamo emva kokuguquka kweNgilani. UAugustine waseCanterbury unokubizwa "umpostile waseNgilani".
Ukucingisisa
UAugustine waseCanterbury uzibonakalisa namhlanje njengengcwele yomntu, onokuthi aphathwe kakubi njengabaninzi kuthi ngenxa yokusilela kwemithambo-luvo. Umzekelo, i-adventure yakhe yokuqala eNgilane yaphela ngo-U-omkhulu obuyela eRoma. Wenza iimpazamo kwaye wadibana nokusilela kwimizamo yakhe yoxolo namaKrestu aseBritane. Wayesoloko ebhalela iRoma ukuze enze izigqibo kwimicimbi awayenokuzenzela yona ukuba wayezithemba ngakumbi. Ukwafumene izilumkiso ezinobulali ngokuchasene nokuzingca kukaPopu Gregory, owamlumkisa ukuba "oyike uloyiko, phakathi kwezinto ezimangalisayo ezenziweyo, ingqondo ebuthathaka izaliswe kukuzithemba." Ukuzingisa kuka-Augustine phakathi kwemiqobo kunye nokuphumelela ngokuyinxenye kufundisa abapostile banamhlanje kunye noovulindlela ukuba bazabalaze ngaphandle kokukhathazeka kwaye baneliswe yinkqubela phambili.
