  September 19: Theodore of Tarsus; Christian History Institute
Theodore could have complicated matters by introducing yet a third tradition, for he was from Tarsus in the Roman Empire's Eastern province, Celicia.
Saxon historian Bede said Theodore was the "first archbishop whom all the English church obeyed." Together Theodore and Adrian taught Roman forms and the proper dating of Easter; and Adrian schooled the English in mathematics, astronomy, Latin and the Bible.
Theodore of Tarsus was archbishop for twenty-one years and left a united church.

 ST. THEODORE OF CANTERBURY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
Our Saint Theodore (for there are several) is most often called 'of Canterbury' here in England but elsewhere he is called Saint Theodore of Tarsus simply because that was where he was born - in Cilecia (circa 604) - and also because he never set foot in England until he was 66 years old.
Theodore had upheld all the decisions of Whitby and England was given the traditional Roman territorial episcopate as opposed to the Celtic style of monastic jurisdiction.
Theodore died at the age of 87 and was laid to rest at the side of St. Augustine in Canterbury.

Theodore of Tarsus (in Syria) had been appointed as the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Wilfrid protested vehemently; but when he could not persuade Theodore and the northern kings to honor his position, he appealed to Rome and immediately left to argue his case directly %to the Pope in person.
Wilfrid quarreled again with the king and Theodore whom he felt were conspiring to take some of the power and authority away from the Archbishopric of York -- themes that would be repeated under Becket and Henry VIII in later centuries.

 History of Opinions on the Scriptural Doctrine of Retribution: Origen and Theodore of Mopsuestia
In addition to this, the extension of the influence of Theodore among the Nestorian churches was peculiar to him, and was not at all shared by Origen.
Theodore rejected almost entirely the spiritual, allegorical, and mystical interpretation of Origen; and, in common with the Antiochian school, adopted the principles of historical and grammatical interpretation.
In the view of Theodore, therefore, this universal restitution of all to holiness was the end aimed at in the first dispensation, involving sin and to be effected through it.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Theodore of Tarsus
Theodore of Tarsus was the seventh archbishop of Canterbury and one of the most learned churchmen of the early Middle Ages.
The school at Canterbury led by Theodore and his associate, the monk Hadrian (a Greek-speaking north African, who had been at Naples), is remarkable for the range and level of studies pursued, from highly sophisticated biblical exegesis, involving comparison of Greek and Latin texts, to astronomy, ecclesiastical computus, law and rhetoric.
The Canterbury of Theodore was one of the great centres of learning not only of its day but of the whole early medieval period in western Europe, and its level of scholarship was hardly paralleled again in Anglo-Saxon England.
