Have you ever heard the Bible in Old English?

This Creationtide, listen to the Old English translation of the Genesis story of creation, made by the Anglo-Saxon monk Ælfric in the tenth century - the first time people in England heard the Bible in church in their native language.

Wonderful that Prof. Kevin #Featherstone, formerly head of the very influential @ho-centre.bsky.social and now Chair of the Anglo-Hellenic League, has been awarded an OBE in the King’s Birthday Honours for services to “academia and UK/Greece relations”. Warm congratulations to Kevin. Άξιος, άξιος.
