Our small group has been studying Galatians. Last night we focused on Galatians 4:8-20.

Paul's strong rebuke to the Galatians and his heartfelt personal reminder to them about their former relationship with him (they had formerly received him as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus) made me wonder, for the first time, what the Galatians response was to this letter. Were they stricken in their souls as they considered Paul's pleadings with them in the Holy Spirit? Is there any Biblical record of the response? Did Paul ever make it back to the Church in Galatia?

Are there any early church writings that tell us how the church of Galatia responded to Paul's letter?

Any light that can be shed on this question, or any links to articles would be most appreciated.
