Trinitarian Christianity was competing with Arian Christianity at the time[edit]

Hi Carlaude, I have restored the header about Trinitarian Christianity as that moment in history was indeed a decisive point at which an ongoing debate between Arian and Trinitarian Christianity was officially settled. Thanks, Scott P. (talk) 19:03, 24 April 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Why such a European focus?[edit]

By the 4th c., Christianity had taken hold in Ethiopia and spread through Yemen, Saudia Arabia, to India and elsewhere. Where are these sections of the article? Benefac (talk) 19:21, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

These sections missing because no one has added them. This is your chance to do so. ^{şṗøʀĸşṗøʀĸ: τᴀʟĸ} 02:35, 20 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

redirect[edit]

This article should be redirected to State church of the Roman Empire. 75.15.201.115 (talk) 05:18, 20 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No. But you can merge State church of the Roman Empire into this one if you want. ^{şṗøʀĸşṗøʀĸ: τᴀʟĸ} 07:55, 20 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
