    1. Ecclesiastical History Mr. Christopher Smith, OP

    2. What well cover today Ask some important questions: Why should we study the history of the Church? What can we learn by studying the history of the Church? Cover a basic timeline of the Church Look at some of the various councils of the Church that have helped bring us to where we are today Relate events in secular history to Church history and discuss some interplay between the two

    3. Starting point In meditating on what the Church in history has meant and what it means today, I arrived at one thought, one mystery The Incarnation. Who can tell me what the incarnation is?

    4. The Incarnation Simply put it is God becoming man. The Great I AM coming down and clothing himself in human flesh Paul understood the significance of Christs incarnation and its historical significance.
