Church history
The church has a history full of struggle and renewal. Initially the early Christians spread the good news of Jesus throughout the Roman empire and small congregations of Christians sprang up in many towns. Rome soon became the geographical centre of the church. In the early centuries, debates about the nature of God caused great debates, however the church mostly stayed unified until a major rift finally occurred between the Church in Greece and the one in Rome (it had slowly developed over centuries) culminating in a schism in 1054 AD. In the Middle Ages, people in Christian lands formed armies to "defend" the Holy Lands from Islamic control. In the mid second millenium, there was a renewal of awareness of the Bible spawning the Reformation, with Christians in northern Europe splitting from the Roman church. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, missionary activity has spread the gospel around the world. (Please contribute to this article which remains a stub)
