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, June 17-23, in Church history. They include the birth of Charles Spurgeon, the Supreme Court ruling against Bible reading in public schools, and the opening of a major early church council.
