Today in Church History

[learning]

Thought I'ld put this up. If any of you have neat things to add to this, please do. I believe there is a web site like this, if I find it again I'll give the link.
I don't know about today, but May 24, 1738 was the day that John Wesley's heart was 'strangley warmed' at Aldersgate, where he knew that he was saved and had that assurance of God's grace and salvation.

In 1564 John Calvin died.
a quote form his `The Institutes of Christian Religion`
- If we are searching for God`s fatherly love and grace, we must look to Christ, in whom alone the Father is well pleased. If we are searching for salvation, life and immortality, we must turn to him again, since he alone is the fountain of life, the anchor of salvation and the heir of the kingdom.-

Eusebius dies in at age 74 in May 30,339, the one who wrote 'Ecclesastical History'

May 30, 1431, Joan of Arc dies crying 'Jesus, Jesus'

There are other events that others may see important, but these stood out for me.

Nicole Brown (and her friend) were killed on June 12, and although it doesn't actually have to do with christian history, the whole trial thing is related to America and the world, and the subject of abuse. Obviously abuse goes against 'Love your neighbor as yourself' for who else is one's closest neighbor but one's spouse or persons living with each other.

Here's the link for this week in church history

The thing that stood out for me today was that July 11, 1955, congress puts 'In God We Trust' on all U.S. currency.

Last week has some neat things to look at too, just go to the above link and clik on back or add '28' at the end of the above link instead of 29.

It was also on this date in 2004 that learning posted the same reminder of Wesley's experience in the first post of this thread. :teeth: http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/showpost.php?p=568190&postcount=1

actually I was two days late. (though I did mention it, yes!) ;)
But today is also the day that the first long distance telegraph message was sent out by Samuel Morse, and sent this message, 'What hath God wrought.'
