	Accidental Pilgrim - Chapter 2

	Missionary Inflexible - Christian History
		Columbanus continued his studies with Comgall of Bangor, whose monastery was famous for its rigidity.
		Not only did Columbanus thrive there, but he codified such austerity into two rules for monasteries—one for individual monks, the other for communities.
		In his 40s, he left Bangor to follow God's command, which was the same command given to Abraham: "Get thee out of thy country." With 12 companions, he left for Gaul, large parts of which had reverted to paganism (and the remaining Christians were likely nominal or Arian heretics).

		Thankfully, the great work Columbanus and his men accomplished during their twenty years in Burgundy was not lost.

	Accidental Pilgrim - Columbanus
		Argues that Columba was nothing like the hardcore exile that Columbanus was - Columba had to leave, he only went as far as Iona (certainly in the Irish sphere of influence) and he went back to Ireland.
		Plays fast and loose with history (has Columbanus ministering to the pagan Sueves in Luxeuil, for example, which must have been news to the Christian Gallo-Romans who lived there), creating the very outdated view of Irish monks talking to each other in Greek and going to rebuild shattered European culture on their own.
		Gives a good overview of the life Columbanus led while in Bangor, and an insight into how he might have run his own monasteries on the continent.
