| Summary | "The English Church in the Middle Ages" by William Hunt is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to illustrate the dynamic relationships between the English Church, the papacy, and the English State until the revolt of Wyclif and the Great Schism that influenced Western Christendom. Through a narrative style, Hunt hopes to provide insights into the failures and successes of the Church and its role as a national institution. The opening of the text sets the stage for the exploration of early Christian missions to the English, particularly focusing on St. Augustine's arrival in 597 and the establishment of the Church in various regions. The narrative highlights the initial successes, such as the conversion of King Æthelberht of Kent and the founding of the See of York, alongside the challenges faced, including resistance from the Welsh clergy and subsequent failures in unifying the Church. As the text unfolds, it becomes clear that the early Church in England was characterized by a delicate balance between independence and reliance on Rome, leading to a complex interplay that would evolve over the centuries.
