| "Halig" (holy) Bede, transmitting culture. |
Today we are writing on the theme of the preservation and transmission of culture, of real culture, not merely those things which mask as culture--mass entertainment, mass education, mass politics. I am speaking of the
cultus that belief or set of beliefs that binds a people together and animates their society. Feasting and fasting, farming and fighting, blessing and cursing--what gives shape to these things? What mythology? Such things are the questions we shall at last consider today in our essays on the mission to Britain as noted in Bede.
Agenda:
- Pray
- Bede Exam - Part II
- Essay on the wisdom of Pope Gregory
- Begin reading Beowulf together.
