Talk:Christianity in Anglo-Saxon England

message: moved to Anglo-Saxon Christianity (redirect from  Christianization of the Anglo-Saxons); 410-1066 corresponds to Anglo-Saxon England. dab (𒁳) 10:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but 'Anglo-Saxon' might by definition exclude Celtic Christianity and developments in Scotland, Wales, Ireland and North East England.Neddyseagoon - talk 10:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: well, the article doesn't discuss that, does it? it links to Celtic Christianity, where Scotland, Wales and Ireland should be treated. The awkward scope was honoured by an empty h2 section linking to Celtic Christianity. It will be much cleaner to discuss Anglo-Saxon England here, and Wales/Scotland/Ireland there, and have each refer to the other as required. Strictly, Christianity in the British isles 410-1066 could be a dab page, but the date-range makes clear that Anglo-Saxon England is intended (what happened in Ireland in 1066?) dab (𒁳) 10:51, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would have liked a single article on Early Insular Christianity, and if the title needed to be less anglo-centric the millennium would have been fine as an end-date. There can still be one, mostly in summary style, with more focussed articles like this one. Angus McLellan  (Talk) 11:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Early Insular Christianity sounds good too; I apologize, I thought the move would be uncontroversial. If somebody is willing to write such an overview article, that would be splendid, but as it is, the present article does in fact treat Anglo-Saxon, not pan-British, Christianity. dab (𒁳) 12:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No objections to the move here. Just thinking out loud! Angus McLellan  (Talk) 14:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

message: As proposed. It seems the scope is pretty much identical. Chicbyaccident (talk) 11:36, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: [Oppose] While there seems to be some overlap, I see them as different articles; specifically "Cristianisation" as a sub-article of this one. Some of the beginnings could be shifted (say to "Gregorian mission"), but I would like to see more of how it actually functioned socially and politically. By this I mean, at least in part, the founding of religious institutions by important, (often inter-related) families as an expression of status or power, the influence of churchmen on policy, diocesan cf. monastic presence, etc. Mannanan51 (talk) 01:56, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

text: Oppose. I agree with the reasons given above. In addition, the christianisation article covers the seventh century in great detail, whereas this article is little more than a stub, especially on the later history. Merging would increase the unbalanced concentration on the earlier period. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:13, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

text: Oppose per both above - time to close this! Johnbod (talk) 15:54, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

text: Oppose. Entirely different . That article is about the establishment of the institution covered here. If anything, it's the first part of this historical section of this article, not the other way around. — LlywelynII 00:37, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England 

message: Currently, the best place to link Anglo-Saxon liturgical year is Cult of saints in Anglo-Saxon England#Saints. That's obviously less than ideal and it would be better to have the liturgical year covered in a section here and the link fixed. — LlywelynII 00:37, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
