King Oswald asked Iona for missionaries, and they sent him Aidan. Aidan became the enigmatic Irish bishop who brought with him the Irish Christianity of Iona and seeded it in the landsacpe of Northumbria in England. When King Oswald fought his first battle in 633, he erected a wooden cross before the battle near Hexham. Once victory was his and the kingdom secured, he sent to Iona for a bishop. The king himself had been converted by the monks of St. Columba at Iona. Aidan was selected and sent. So began the mystical Celtic Christian influence in Anglo-Saxon England. This program looks at Aidan's experience and development, his Irish role as Anmchara (soul friend) to the king, his spirituality and its inspiration for the modern world.
