The clergy kept learning alive. They were the keepers of the books and the writers of books. They copied the ancient masters and The Bible. This was a time when people couldn't read or write and there were no schools. One reason the churches had the stain glass windows was to teach the bible stories and the tenets of the Church. The clergy also provided medical help and when travelers needed a place to stay they would give them a bed and food for the night.
