2-The Church in a Collapsing Civilisation by Father Gerard Culkin , Lecturer in Church History at Ushaw College, Durham
During the fifth century the Christian Church, which had linked itself very closely with the State, found the Empire collapsing. The rapid change going on in our own civilisation presents the Church with some problems that are similar to those it faced at that period. Father Culkin talks about the Church of the fifth century, that is of Augustine and Jerome, and shows something of the relevance that period has for us today.
