In class on Monday we talked more about the Church before Constantine. Then we split up into our groups and broke down into the Church worksheet categories how the Church before Constantine was defined. One thing I thought was interesting was how it was how what the nature of the church was, was more vague, more cut and dry perhaps - just to be people who live their lives with the witness of their faith and who share the Gospel with others. This seems to have been the period when there was the greatest shift between the laity and the role of the Bishop. I appreciated how the church during this time placed so much value on the martyrs during that time as well!
