"The Edict of Milan"

Dear Humanities Kids,
Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful break, and are now prepared to complete the year by "running across the finish line."
1. Prior to reading the "Edict of Milan" please respond to the following:
Journal #14 Religion
Why do people argue over religion? Don't most faiths preach "peace," "compassion," and "forgiveness?" So, why is it then that so many religious discussions end in violence?

2. We then proceeded to read "The Edict of Milan" by Constantine. This document gave all faiths the right to worship during Constantine's reign.

3. We also read and discussed "Pygmalion" by Ovid.

HOMEWORK:
1. Quest covering Rome on WED.
2. Please read "Pygmalion" found in your book.
3. Please read "Cupid and Psyche" found in your book.
