"I love our weekly observance of Sabbath or Shabbat. Every Friday night at sundown to dark Saturday night, we stop doing things such as work and using electricity, and we walk instead of driving. Life can get crazy, and having a built-in weekly time to pause, breathe, and reconnect--with family, spirituality, nature, with myself--helps keep me from getting too overwhelmed and stressed. And our rituals such as lighting candles and saying blessings over wine and grape juice uplift me with their beauty."

"They saw nothing amiss in a Mass that was performed by a priest using words that the people could not hear, much less understand, and who paid attention only when a bell was rung."

Over time, the experience behind the early writings was forgotten in the christian world
Apologists explained their faith to people who suspected that Jesus' followers were a member of a dangerous cult
Other apologists began to talk about their faith as a set of beliefs, rather than a way of living
Constantine wanted to unify the Roman Empire with a single religion, so he legalized Christianity. Constantine then realized that Christians had different theologies about the religion. Christians divided the Roman Empire, instead of unifying it
The "Dark Ages" lasted until the 10th century, after the attempt to unify the Roman Empire failed and divided it even more
In the middle ages, church life evolved and grew in a good way. The ceremonies of weddings started to take place in them and baptism was starting to be preformed on babies. Conformation could be given from a bishop
