Arianism
I spent most of Saturday, which, given the hour I hight think of as yesterday or today, writing a paper on the Seven Ecumenical Councils. I only made it through the first one. Not nearly as much as I had hoped. Intersting thing though, I learned (I always learn the most while writing papers) that the Church of England was burning Arians as late as the 17th Century. Arianism, it seems, is like a monster in a movie: You think it's dead but then it appears again. Oh, I also learned that we were successful in destroying all of Arius' writings. We only understand today what Arius' ideas were because St. Athanasius did such a good job refuting them.
Interesting. Tell us more.
