Chptrs. 9-18 From "Laying her Sceptre DOwn" to "The Search For Unity" by Alejandra R.

In our way from chapter 9 to chapter 18 we have learned about some every interesting people. We have seen how different empires and how they have risen to then decline, we have seen how so many people have influenced christianity to form what we have and follow today. We have learned about how Christianity changed from being a hidden thing to being a common practice in the world. 

For example we learned about Constantine and how he exposed Christianity through out the whole world. Constantine was not a Christian since the beginning of his life, he converted in to Christianity when he was an emperor. Constantine had to face a battle following Galerius' death to gain imperial power. Prior to the battle constantine had a dream in which he saw a cross in the sky and the words "conquer" in it. Constantine won the battle and he took this as a sign of the power of Christ and the superiority of the Christian religion. AFter his conversion COnstantine abolished crucifixion and he made Sunday a public holiday. Some people doubt Of Constantine's conversion, however he did play a very important role in the history of christianity. Thanks to Constantine Christianity was exposed and was made legal.

A division between two chuches by 11th grade

 It is very interesting that once upon a time both churches were one and the same. The event that separated both churches, happened a long time along when during mass the embassedor of the Pope went into a church in the middle of mass and excommunicated the Patriarch Of Constantinople. That was the event that separated both churches. They have some similarities like the use of icons, but the western church changed for statues. The event of excommunicating each other finally reached an end when pope John Paul II became pope.
