ga review this review is transcluded from talk laurence of canterbury ga the edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review a few bits aren't clear to me no suprises there i guess given my almost complete ignorance of medieval english history i think the gregorian mission mentioned in the lead needs just a word or two of explanation such as to convert the anglo saxons to christianity or similar he was consecrated archbishop during the lifetime of his predecessor augustine of canterbury he continued efforts to coordinate with the native bishops of britain although his efforts were unsuccessful i'd dearly love to combine these two sentences in some way but i just don't understand what they're saying so there were two archbishops of canterbury for a time who consecrated laurence continued augustine's efforts coordinate with the native bishops in what way was he unsuccessful fatuorum
