What I have learned from Early and Medieval Church history can help the modern church towards its ideal in its space as a transcendent and human church and the place of the discipline of history in humanity is the assessment of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that it had to face in the course of the period in the environment of the early and medieval churches, and the current church is very different in terms of population, intellectuals, technology, and system. The response is divided into two parts: the first is an analysis of the medieval church, and the second is an assessment of the Anglican Church’s suitability and efficacy.
