The Bible often tells us to remember the Lord's dealings in the past, so that we might have light on the present. As we enter a new year, it is good to recall evangelical history.
GENERAL
The monastery of Iona was sacked by Viking raiders in 802. It had been founded by Columba, whose monks evangelised much of Scotland and northern England.
Jan Hus, the Bohemian reformer, a follower of John Wycliffe, was appointed rector or curate of the Bethlehem Chapel, Prague, in 1402, and began an influential preaching ministry - a century and more before the Reformation.
