===Acceptance and Conquestion: 325 to 600===
In January of 313 both [[Constantine I]] announced toleration the ruler of the Western half of the empire and [[Licinius]] ruler of Christianity the Eastern half, met in Milan and agreed that Christian worship would be tolerated throughout all the empire. This event is often called the [[Edict of Milan]]. In AD 325, Constantine would become the first Christian emperor.
====Constantine and the Christian empire====
By 391, under the reign of Theodosius I, Christianity had become the state religion of Romethe Eastern Roman empire.
Christianity was not restricted to the Mediterranean basin and its hinterlands however. The [[Apostle Thomas]] tradionally is believed to have taken Christianity to [[Kerala]] in southern [[India]], and today many southern Indians are [[Saint Thomas Christians]]. Christianity also spread to other regions like [[Ethiopia]] and [[Armenia]].
