History is traditionally divided in the West into the years before and [[Jesus]]' birth - AD and BC. * AD (Anno Domini) - Latin for "In the year of our Lord" - is now sometimes referred to as CE (Common Era)* BC (Before Christ) is now sometimes referred to as BCE (Before the Common Era) Many churches have specific church services and [[Bible]] readings based on the date, a system known as the [[Christian calendar]]. ==Quotes== ==Links==* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_Domini Wikipedia - Year] {{returnto}} [[Church history]][[Category:Church history]]
