43. Augustine builds the First Monastery.

At Canterbury Augustine became the first archbishop over the first

cathedral. There, too, he established the first monastery in which to

train missionaries to carry on the work which he had begun (S45).

Part of the original monastery of St. Augustine is now used as a

Church of England missionary college, and it continues to bear the

name of the man who brought Christianity to that part of Britain. The

example of the ruler of Kent was not without its effect on others.
