==Timeline of History of Britain==
Hey, I wanted to ask you a question not to be difficult but so that I can understand. The Table of Contents suggestion that you made shows a lot of experience and knowledge on your behalf. I trust it. But I have MY concerns with going with the predictable headings ... I thought the idea of creating historical timelines is about the ORTHODOX perspective and not the rest of the world perspective ... if you create those particular headings you are tailoring the article to the rest of the world .. not to how ORTHODOXY developed and changed. Example, Roman Period implies that the Romans held a period in Britain during that time when the APOSTLES went their ... not Romans! Thoughts? Do you get me? I hope you do.

: Hi Vaso, yes I definitely get what are saying, and you have a point. However -- Orthodoxy developed and changed in great Britain within those greater periods that I identified earlier, such as "Roman Britain (43-410)". The Timeline articles on OW try to have the periods separated acording to major watershed events related to or of the Church; however this is not always possible to do this with some histories, and in those cases the larger historical period is what should be referred to in order to give shape to that era, and the events that happened in that era. <br> As regards the Timeline of Orthodoxy in Britain, I have done this on at least 2 occassions in my proposal: the break at 597 AD, is referenced by a new era, and of course the break at 1066 AD is also referenced by a new era - both times are important dates in the history of the Orthodox Church in England. The listing for "Roman Britain" is again valid I think, as that was the empire / gov't of the day until 410 and the church developed in that environment. Beyond that, as you yourself stated, post 1066 AD Britain was increasingly Roman Catholic and later Anglican and Protestant. <br>Perhaps you could come up with a unique name for a era in the twentieth century (with dates), when for instance, all the various Orthodox Jurisdictions created their eparchies / dioceses; even if we do that (which I agree would be a nice way to organize it) I think it would best be done as a subheading within the greater British periods I have outlined, a blend of both modes. Besides, it can always be modified. If you have no objections, I will proceed with the outline I suggested for the eras. Let me know. Cheers! :) [[User:Angellight 888|Angellight 888]] 23:56, May 25, 2009 (UTC)
