There's a story that says that Columba was exiled to the island because he started a war in Ireland -- how did he start the war? He stole a book from his mentor. <BR/><BR/>RussellRussell Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211649998381604221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13080538.post-1151434365994060472006-06-27T14:52:00.000-04:002006-06-27T14:52:00.000-04:00I haven't done Iona, only Lindisfarne, but it was ...I haven't done Iona, only Lindisfarne, but it was truly special.

When did St. Patrick fit into the Celtic church history?<BR/><BR/>I have spent much more time in the last few years on the early church -- first 100 or so years.
