St Erth 6th century

Sixth century is the 500’s – about a century after Patrick died. Erth took his missionary journey back to England from whence Patrick came.

St Erth was an Irish missionary to Cornwall, England. As the bird flied, it’s 200 miles from Cork to Cornwall. If he trudged to the narrowest neck between Ireland and England then down to Cornwall, it’s about twice that. How does a guy decide to be a missionary? How did he pick Cornwall? Did he just get tired of walking? Did he get to the southwest tip of England and decide far enough?

Erth evangelized the local area.

So, what do we take away from this bio blurb? That our Church needs Irish missionaries? Is the downward trend of religiosity in America due to the loss of FBIs?
