[VirtueOnline] 22 Dec 2007--The Church is both militant on earth and triumphant in heaven—and some would add expectant between the grave and the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. On earth the Church exists through space and time; and it is in space and time that the people of God have worshipped, trusted, obeyed and served the LORD God.

We recall that it was within space and time in the year 597 in Western Europe that the mission of Augustine to England took place and the See of Canterbury established. Since that year this See—with an assortment of incumbents—has been recognized as the first bishopric (archbishopric) of England, and of the Churches which had been created from the Church of England, directly or indirectly.
