EVENTS IN 2007 |
| The Annual
History Day and AGM at St. David’s VI Form College, Ty Gwyn Road, Penylan, Cardiff CF23 5QD Saturday, 9th June, 2007 |
MEDIAEVAL CATHOLIC SCHOLARSHIP Foundations, Flowering, & Fall This year’s Catholic History Day spans a huge period, from the very beginnings of the mediaeval Catholic synthesis, to its ap-parent dissolution at the Reformation. The distinctive contributions of Catholic schol-ars, from the far-off Christian East to the Celtic fringe, and from archbishops to par-ish clergy, form a rich tapestry. Today we will have an opportunity to view it from several widely separated vantage points. |
