St. Augustine, the King, and the Pagan ruler introduce each other. St. Augustine makes it clear that his intentions are to evangelize England and spread the Gospel teachings.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit....
St. Augustine preaches the word and Christ's offer to eternal life and the redemption of the world He created. St. Bertha's husband and King Ethelbert of Kent were impressed, and grew fond of this new religion.
King Ethelbert of Kent and St. Bertha's husband (the Pagan leader) was baptized and converted to the religion.
Many people followed King Ethelbert of Kent, St. Bertha and her husband....Over 10,000 people were actively searching for baptism by the missionaries.
