St. Theodore was born in 602, not in England, but in Tarsus (present-day Turkey), and was called at an advanced age to serve the British. He labored diligently, called councils to heal divisions, and laboring to establish the Church. The Venerable Bede says St. Theodore was “the first Archbishop whom the whole of the English Church obeyed.” In 1091, after England had fallen away from the Orthodox Church, his relics were found to be still incorrupt.
The Orthodox Church commemorates St. Theodore on September 19th. Holy Father Theodore, pray to God for us!

Would be great but the reading of the life of the saint is far to slow. Speed up 2x and it should be perfect
Pray for us
Thanks.
I loved hearing more about St. Theodore. It is good to be reminded that the early Church of both East and West was Orthodox, not Roman Catholic, even though Western Christians fittingly responded to the Bishop of Rome, since the Roman See was the only Apostolic See in the West (unless one counts Alexandria).
Amen 🙏
