Jump to the WP Forum The Birth of Modern Spiritual Gifts Related Topics: Technology History Art Eschatology ... As Prophesied Even if we forget Joseph Smith, the year 1830 was still the most important year for Christianity since New Testament times. (Sources: unless stated, all facts and quotations are from the New Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia , 1995 and from the on-line Encyclopedia Britannica . Longer quotations are from the Britannica Introduction The General Condition From the Sixth Century to the Nineteenth: Many (if not most) informed Christians accept that the church went through something of a wilderness period starting from the sixth century. See the history of Christianity and the page on Gregory the Great for details. Many see the nineteenth century as the end of this wilderness period. This is from "Christian Belief in the Making," in The Lion Handbook of Christian Belief (organising editor Robin Keeley), Lion Publishing PLC 1982: The History of Christian Missions: "The American historian K. S. Latourette divides the history of the missionary movement into four periods: The first five centuries saw the good news of the gospel taken as far as Britain in the West and out to China in the East, to Ethiopia in Africa and northwards beyond the Danube. Then the "thousand years of uncertainty" (AD 500 to 1500) were years in which the church lost its Bible and forgot its mission. ... The third period is that of the "three centuries of advance" (AD 1500 to 1800). ... The fourth period, the "great century," spans the vast enterprise of the missionary societies since that time."

33. General general. The richness of Georgian architecture is fully Christianity represents the dominant religion, and the Georgian has been so far the largest of churches. http://www.parliament.ge/CULTURE/GENINF/Cultur.html

General The richness of Georgian architecture is fully manifested in the existence of numerous churches. The history of this field of architecture is connected to the development of Georgian domed churches with a square central bay and four arms around it forming a cross . The versatile folk architecture is also worth being pointed out here. The Darbazi type of dwelling was typical to the Eastern regions, whereas the Oda type prevailed in the West of Georgia. Fortresses and towers were widespread in the mountainous regions. Georgian folk music, which has been evolving over three millennia, contributed particularly to the world culture. One of the most peculiar features of it is itss free polyphonic composition (2,5 or 4 voices). Georgian school of painting and icon painting, frequently exhibited in and outside of the country is also worth being pointed out here. The unique ancient frescoes reveal the specifics, traditions and skills of their creators. Georgian literature, especially poetry, is of non-less importance than the above-mentioned fields of culture. Georgian theatre and cinema are well known abroad. Even the "iron curtain", which had separated Georgia from the rest of the world. could not prevent it from recognising those. Georgian opera singers and musicians are also well-known overseas.

But observers say those who oppose church law that's unfriendly to gays will continue to break it, resulting in more church trials that will only further divide a denomination that's become ever-more fractured. "What we've done is taken a fundamental conflict and we're forcing everyone to comply and it will not work for long," said Scott Field, legislative coordinator for a coalition of Methodist evangelicals.
