The hand-out is about the development of Christianity on the western part of Europe. It is very much different to the already established Byzantine tradition. Mostly, it discussed about the situations in the countries now ruled by various Germanic tribes. According to the hand-out, most of them gave up Arianism and began adopting the Byzantine tradition of Christianity.
The hand-out also discussed the concept of Monasticism. From it, I finally fully understood something that I already knew. The word "monk" is from from "monasticism". Before, I thought that monks were mainly of Buddhist or Hindu religion.
I learned that there are indeed Christian monks. St. Benedict was a great driving force in the development of Christian monasticism.
Finally, the hand-out discussed the conversion of England to Christianity. St.Augustine lead momentous event. This has a great significant.
Even today it has a significant effect on us. The western Christian nations were the ones that explored the globe. Spain is one them. Spain introduced Christianity to the Philippines and majority of its population are still Christians.
If it weren't for the western nation of Europe converting to Christianity, the Philippines might be an Islamic nation at present.
