Although he’s one of the longest-reigning monarchs in English history, he tends to be largely forgotten when it comes to top ten lists. He’s not even in the top three most popular Henrys. Sandwiched between his father, Bad King John, and his son, the “great and terrible” Edward I, Henry III was a pious, peaceful, family man – for better and for worse. This week, Danièle speaks with David Carpenter about what people loved and loathed about Henry, how he managed to survive the rockiest moments of his reign, and the incredible architectural legacy he left behind.<br /><br />You can listen to these epispdes ad-free on our Patreon - <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/medievalists" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><b>https://www.patreon.com/c/medievalists</b></a><br /><br />This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

Four episodes ago we talked in detail about the Divine Liturgy and its place at the heart of Byzantine life. I put out the call for listeners to ask questions. Particularly those of us not familiar with Orthodoxy or ecclesiastical issues in general. And Father Strickland has kindly returned to answer them. </p><br /><p>The questions are wide ranging and so demand thorough answers which Father John provides. So we decided to split them over two episodes. Today we tackle the Orthodox view on salvation and purgatory. As well as the role of the Ecumenical Patriarch and thoughts on the Byzantine understanding of how the divine played a role in daily life. Then we finish with the Orthodox view of Catholicism, Church Union and evangelisation. </p><p> </p><p>John is the pastor of an Orthodox Church in Poulsbo in Washington State. He wrote a four-volume series about the history of Christian civilization called Paradise and Utopia. He’s also recorded a podcast of the same name as an accompaniment to the books which you can find wherever you get your podcasts or at <a href="http://www.ancientfaith.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.ancientfaith.com</a>.</p><p><br /></p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
