On Sunday I finished the pilgrimage trail, walking the last few miles through the woods from Fordwich to Canterbury. I was able to attend both a communion service and the office of morning prayer in Canterbury Cathedral. I also visited the ruins of Augustine's old abbey and St Martin's, the oldest continuously-used church in the English-speaking world, where Christians have been worshipping since c.600 A.D. After that, it was on the train to my conference in Oxford (with just another quick stop along the way at Rochester Cathedral, where another member of Augustine's original mission team also established a church).
