Æthelberht's code makes reference to the church in the very first item, which enumerates the compensation required for the property of a bishop, a deacon, a priest, and so on; but overall, the laws seem remarkably uninfluenced by Christian principles.
O código de Aethelberht fa referencia á igrexa por primeira vez cando enumera a compensación requirida para a propiedade dun bispo, un diácono, un crego, etc.; mais en xeral, as leis notablemente non parecen influenciadas polos principios cristiáns.
