Our National Church (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Our National Church

A whole century has to pass before the next historical mention of the British Church. The fourth century opens with the last of the great Roman persecutions Of Christianity. It was during this persecution that the martyrdom of St. Alban at Verulam (now St. Albans) took place about the year, 04. He is the first known martyr of the British hureh, a member Of the British race, and at the same time a Roman soldier. He was con verted by a British priest who was fleeing from his persecutors, and came to the soldier, Alban, for shelter, who protected the priest, and changed clothes with him. Alban was arrested, and, on his refusal to abjure Christianity, was killed. It was on the spot where he died for his religion that, in later days, there arose the great abbey church of St. Albans.

Excerpt from Our National Church
Christianity came to this country, as it did to other countries, through the missionary zeal Of those who had witnessed the great facts Of our religion - the Incarnation, the Resurrection, and the Ascension. As we are told in the Acts Of the Apostles, they went everywhere preaching the Word, and wherever they preached they formed a branch Of the Universal Church, according to the precept Of its Founder. For Christianity was a message to the Jews, indeed, first, but also to the whole world. Starting from Jerusalem and J udaea, the Church was to spread to the uttermost parts Of the earth, and to war continually with the powers Of darkness.
