Commissioned by King Oswald of Northumbria to be a missionary
to the Celts after stating at a conference held in Iona:
Brother, it seems to me that you were too severe on your ignorant hearers. You should have followed the practice of the Apostles, and begun by giving them the milk of simpler teaching, and gradually nourished them with the word of God until they were capable of greater perfection and able to follow the loftier precepts of Christ.” (St Aidan's Episcopal Church)
