Saint Columba (14)

1. Why did Columba leave Ireland?
Columba left, as Purton pits it, because he borrowed a book without asking if he could. In fact he copied it out for himself but without permissionto do so. There may well have been other issues that clustered around this one.
2. Look on a map of Scotland for Iona and Inverness

 
3. Pretend you are Columbus and tell the King of Scotland why you have come
We have come O King to tell you aboout a King greater than yourself, a King who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Just as men bow down to you so you must bow down to him for he is the Son of God. God sent him into this world long ago to live and die for all who trust in him. Turn then from the worship of idols and begin to worship the one true God who has sent his Son into the world. Trust in him.
