In the dark and turbulent centuries after the Roman occupation of
Britain, and during the Anglo-Saxon colonisation, the light of
heaven still shone through the work and witness of the monastic
communities, 'villages of God', which dotted the land. One of the
most remarkable figures of those times was Hilda of Whitby. Born
and reared amid warring pagan tribes, through the influence of
Celtic saints and scholars she became a dominant figure in the
development of the British Church, above all at the famous Synod
where Celtic and Roman Churches came together. Until recently,
though, the story of this extraordinary woman has not received much
attention. Published to coincide with the 1400th anniversary of her
birth, this book not only explores the drama of Hilda's life and
ministry but shows what spiritual lessons we can draw for Christian
life and leadership today.
