By the end of the seventh century, all of the England was reconverted.4.
After the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons, problems arose with the Celtic Christians. There was not a single Celtic church, but several independently operating Celtic churches. Communications with the Roman Catholic Church had ceased for nearly two centuries and the Celtic Christians did not practice the theological ideas brought to the Anglo-Saxons by Augustine. In particular, a serious conflict existed between them with regard to the method of calculating the date on which Easter should be recognized. A council was summoned in 664, the Synod of Whitby, and representatives from the two churches met with Oswiu, the king of Northumbria, who was then asked to decide between the two methods. Oswiu chose the Roman method, and that method is recognized to date.5.
A few years later in 669 Theodore of Tarsus, traveled to England to serve as the Archbishop of Canterbury. Theodore became known as the Father of English Church. He established order and discipline within the church, and his arrival in England initiated a link between the English church and the Roman Church.6 The existing dioceses were too large and unorganized. Theodore divided them up and created smaller more manageable dioceses. Through his successes, the English church became an organized structure of clerical hierarchy. Soon kings began to consult with churchmen for clerical and administrative advice. This was the beginning of a lasting union between church and state. It was here that the two began to sustain each other. Theodore's achievements are seen as both ecclesiastically and politically important.7.
Kings were converting to Christianity and seeking the advice of churchmen in administrative matters. Aethelbert, the king of Kent, was the first to convert and the pope subsequently dubbed him "King of the Angles." The unification between church and state was becoming more established.
