Christianity is a faith with a long and detailed history, with numerous events of lasting significance occurring throughout the ages.

Each week brings the anniversaries of great milestones, horrid tragedies, amazing triumphs, telling tribulations, inspirational progress, and everything in between.

Here are just a few things that happened this week, March 29 to April 4, in Church history. They include the pope issuing a decree supporting the Knights Templar, the founding of the Assemblies of God, and the preaching of a popular Charles Wesley sermon.
