…We wish you [Abbot Mellitus] to inform him [Augustine] that we have been giving careful thought to the affairs of the English, and have come to the conclusion that the temples of the idols among that people should on no account be destroyed. The idols are to be destroyed, but the temples themselves are to be aspersed w/holy water, altars set up in them, & relics deposited there. For if these temples are well-built, they must be purified from the worship of demons & dedicated to the service of the true God. In this way, we hope that the people, seeing that their temples are not destroyed, may abandon error and, flocking more readily to their accustomed resorts, may come to know & adore the true God.
- Letter of Pope Gregory I in Bede, Ecclesiastical History
