The post you are reporting:
King Ethelbert of Kent is the first Christian Monarch in Anglo-Saxon history, and established the diocese of Canterbury, Kent's capital during his reign. King Ethelbert ruled Kent until 616. He also became Bretwalda, meaning primary King of all Anglo-Saxon Britain, from Kent to Northumbria. He wrote the first English code of law, in which he also established which authority the Church could hold in Kent.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Pope in Rome were subordinate to his authority in Church matters in Kent, and were not allowed to enforce any ecclesiastical laws or regulations over the people, including mass-baptism in water. King Ethelbert had converted to the Christian Faith spiritually through his Christian wife Queen Bertha, daughter of the king of the Franks, before Augustine of Rome ever set foot on English soil. He believed in spiritual conversion of individuals, and where-as Augustine failed completely to carry out any of the Pope's orders given to him before leaving Rome - these orders being to assert papal authority over the Celtic Church of Wales, Cornwall, Scotland and Ireland, and to assert Christianity all over England - our great King Ethelbert of Kent established the freedom of Christian illumination for his people in Kent, allowing Christianity to take its course freely.
He recognised Christ as Leader of the Church, and not himself!
Considering the origins of our English Church, also in connection with the work carried out several decades later during the seventh century by Irish and Scottish missionaries in Northumbria, East Anglia, Mercia and Wessex, who established the Celtic Church in almost all the remaining Anglo-Saxon kingdoms - see the glorious Saint Aidan Bishop of Lindisfarne - would it be fair to conclude that King Henry VIII cannot have been the head of the English Church, as no English monarch before him, including King Ethelbert of Kent and King Oswald of Northumbria, ever gave themselves this title?
To attract the attention of the forumites to this thread's relation to Dover, King Ethelbert's son, Eadbald, after succeeding his father as King of Kent, established an ecclesiastical college at Saint Mary's at the Castle, and King Whitered of Kent, who ruled until the 23rd March 725, had the priory of Saint Martin built in Dover in present-day Market Square, which Henry VIII ordered to be torn down together with the priory of Saint Martin and Saint Mary near present-day Priory station.
I personally am in favour of not recognising the title 'head of the Church of England' as pertaining to Henry VIII. People who rip down churches whole-sale cannot be 'head of the Church of England'!
