Why Church history? C.S Lewis said, the growth of the Church is like a long conversation.  If the conversation started at 10 AM and if we joined the conversation at 3 P.M, we would hardly follow the discussion unless someone updates us.  To fully grasp where we fit into the Church, we need to understand her history.  Church history is important also because, the events in the Bible and the evangelization happens at different points in the history of mankind.  As we all know, in recent times, the Church endured some rough times due to the scandals.  The media projected these unfortunate events with a magnifying glass.  When people think of the Church, these scandals come to their minds.  Who will want to be part of such a church?  I decided to dig into her past and found that our Church is not a stranger to scandals.  At the same time, however, her contributions outweighed the scandals several folds.  I decided to share some important events from the Church history to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.  The life of our mother Church can be presented in many ways.  I have decided to present her chronologically by pointing out some events that I perceived as important ones.  Wherever I use scripture references, I will be using the NRSVCE translation as this is suitable for studies.  During the mass we use New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE).
