Clerical errors?Reading about church history is much like reading an action novel. As I am entering studies for the second semester of the first year I am registered for the second half of western church history. I've been reading the first half so as not to be completely out of it when class starts.I know bits and pieces of church history, but not much. Now I read it in some sort of continuity. It feels like being lured with a bait as I read on to find out how a situation came to be and how it developed. Some of the events make me chuckle, like a synod Efesus in year 431 where monks of opposing parties showed up in full armour and made such a scene that both groups were arrested. It really makes me smile when I imagine modern clergy in full vestments being put in jail overnight for having a fistfight at the yearly synod. Would anyone bail them out? Posted by Ólöf I.
